Default A Real BLM Campaign -- Baltimore

Though I do believe talk is cheap; somebody who speaks on improving the community as an essential part of "black lives matter" has the right direction IMHO.

I would vote for her based on her gazongas alone. But she also makes a lot of sense.

We have a muslim dem running in our district. Kasim Rashid. He will get my vote over pub Rob Wittman for reasons I needn’t get into. Plus I want new, young blood. Fire all the incumbents. What have they done for us lately.

fixed to add parts back to the whole sentence.

She is speaking about the crimes in the black community being perpetrated by the criminals living in the black community.
Does it need to be said that it's is black on black crime in that ad?

Not really...there's enough negative connotations currently floating around now to last a lifetime of hate.

Bet she had a police escort in that video. Those areas are pretty crappy, and it looks like the normal people out on those streets were gone as well. Great add, but I bet it will not go anywhere. The same people living here will continue to put the same azzholes back in office just like they always have.

Spent just about my whole life in and around Baltimore (not there now), I remember it was a half decent place.

When I worked the streets there in the late '60's and '70's, my district (NE) was considered the "country club" of the department. But now, one of the worst districts in the city.......as a matter of fact, they're all bad..........

One word....shithole.

Anyone who has the opportunity, should take an Amtrak train from NYC to Washington DC, and look out the window along the way. You will see parts of Newark NJ, Camden, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore, and DC. The places you see will not be the posh downtown sections, and they ALL look like what you see in this video. It's no wonder so many inner city people are so angry, they live in shitholes, and they keep voting democrats that go out of their way to keep them there. It really is sad.

Largest issues are of course illegal drugs and alky-haul.....clean that up a bit, and hopefully self-aware attitudes would change for the positive, and folks then would want to clean up where they live.....at least some windoze and a coat of paint.....

I remember back in the 60's I was an outside TV repair man, tube caddy, and the name for us was 'Diddle stick happy tube jockey'..... and even though the homes on the outside looked wanting, the insides were not all that bad, better than expected on average....and no strong evidence of drugs/alky......

CNN reported today that Walt Disney's new film called "Jet Black," the African American version of "Snow White" has been cancelled.

All of the dwarfs: Dealer, Stealer, Mugger, Forger, Drive-By, Homeboy and Shank have refused to sing Hi Ho, Hi Ho because they say it offends black prostitutes.



They also say there ain't no way in hell they’re gonna sing "It's off to work we go."

I didn't watch the whole thing, but for at least the first half of it there was not one single other person on the street besides her and her camera crew. I'd walk around bad neighborhoods virtue signalling too if there was nobody else around.

I found your problem right here. I'm sure there were Jews who voted for Hitler back in the day. Do you really hate America that much that you would vote for another Rashida Tlaib or Ilhan Said el Nursi? Their religion is diametrically opposed to Western society, law, and civilization.

I wouldn't vote for a Muslim for dogcatcher, and not just because they hate dogs and are often cruel to them.

My best friend's in-laws are Iranian immigrants. Nice, hard working, pro-America people....basically the kind of people you want in the US. You know WHY they came here? They were Zoro Astrians. They had to flee Iran after the '79 Islamic revolution. They literally lost their business, and had to spend most all of the money they had left to pay bribes to the new Muslim officials in charge to just let them leave Iran. They literally had to flee for their lives when the Muslims took over.

Talk to people who have been up close and personal with Islam, and I think you'd change your mind about voting for a Muslim for anything.

Remember how we all said we would 'never forget' after 9/11? Yeah.


Sorry about the long winded rant.

He is an American whose ideals align with mine more so than the incumbent. It’s as simple as that.

You can’t see past religious and racial stereotypes but I’m the one with a problem. Alrighty then.

Trust me, I haven't forgotten 9/11. Never will.

A Muslim is a follower of the religion of Islam. Of course they can be American. Come on man.
