It’s one thing to sit around and talk about Baltimore’s PR problem and another to actually be subject to the injustices of Baltimore. I’m talking systemic racism, sexism, poverty. It feels like the Wild West out here. Try depending on public transportation or being a DV victim bullied by a district court judge. The things I’ve experienced in this city I’ve never experienced in any other part of the country. Doesn’t mean I’m not going to do my damndest to try and make it better but it does not serve anyone here to paint it out to be something it’s not. We must keep critiquing.
