Some quotes...

"The forces of oppression have besieged that urban terrain"

"The Ravens and Orioles, he said, contributed to the problem “with their tax exempt status and their being given tremendous goodies to stay in the city." - so it's the fault of professional sports!!

"What we don’t have commentary about is the theft of capital from these urban post-industrial conditions" These rioters are the victims of theft! Presumably at the hands of the Koch brothers...

"many people live in New York, Pennsylvania, and come to Baltimore and extract revenue from that city and they don’t give back to the communities, and result of there, that’s a sense that these people are disposable" - so anyone who commutes into Baltimore to work, and then drives back home to the suburbs, is exploiting the people who live there. Right, right...

OK - so you put the White Privilege on it. They hinted to it but you applied it.

Never lived in an Urban Area, did you? Your opinion lacks "context"
