I really don't know why people continue to believe the myth that black folks (in Baltimore or anywhere else) don't vote for white people. It's silly. If black folks are supposed to grow up believing "You can do anything you put your mind to", and that this country is a meritocracy aside from a select few situations, and racism is "a few bad apples", then certainly a white guy has a shot in an election, considering there's tons of white guys that got the votes of those same black people, for other offices.
