Federal government: “the Baltimore police department has been regularly and systematically violating the constitution”
This guy: “don’t tell us what to do”

this whole conversation is totally messed up! i think you had a totally valid point from the beginning. divide and conquer stuff is real but you didnt say "these white people have no idea what the real problems are that black people face on busses", you were pointing out SYSTEMIC stuff. I dont think that the banner's goal is white supremacy, but even the most progressive/equity and race conscious media outlet is still operating in a machine that has, since its beginning, been instrumental in engineering public thought. whether with sinister intent or not, its true, and what you are asking about is real shit and the kind of conversations that people love to write off. especially in baltimore! at the end of the day this points to an issue of the majority of a city's population often don't feel seen/acknowledged/represented. you shouldnt be corrected or made to feel wrong about that. especially in baltimore, which i think we can all agree has a declining population and is frantically trying to sell its image to bring in more citizens. it is important to think about why this underrepresentation might be an issue to someone. this question seems to have less to do with bus problems and more about properly representing a citys population in its news coverage.
I notice a lot on reddit that people love to act like that acknowledging, questioning, and dismantling systemic racism through discourse like this is somehow unneccessarily "making it about skin color/race". a lot of shit in this country IS about race, and pretending its not or chastizing others for bringing it up is playing into that system. making you feel silly/weird/awkward about asking a very specific question that they dont feel like is REALLY what you were trying to say sounds like some typical neoliberal "no this is what you meant" bullshit.
i dont know yalls races/whatever, but i sure have some guesses
also im white and live in the white l
skepticism and critique should always be welcomed with open arms! seems like some people around here are fond of doing a little "redirection" themselves. whether conscious or not
im glad you made this post and i encourage you to post more like this! <3

Reply to Does anyone have bamboo growing in their yard they are looking to get rid of? by uprootsockman
I have a contract coming up to remove a bunch of bamboo. I'm getting paid so would be pretty accepting of someone doing some part of the work for free. I used to cut it myself to make flutes but this is a big patch encroaching a building and I'm doing it as a 'landscaper' for a close friend.

Nothing like since good old fashioned prejudice.
Married in the city. Kids born in the city. Lived there for 20 years. I'm good with the city. Wouldn't be in this sub if I didn't like it.

There’s way less accidents which is good but there’s more congestion and it’s a little slower for sure

Reply to [Baltimore Banner] What do you want from Harborplace redevelopment? (fill out the form or emai abby.zimmardi@thebaltimorebanner.com) by z3mcs
Just spitballing but took a look at other cities with a Bay and I quite liked San Francisco’s “Ferry Building,” and I think if the city added a water taxi stop directly at the inner harbor that could be an attractive option for both tourists and residents alike to get between Harbor East/Fells and Downtown. And it’d add on to Baltimore’s heritage of markets! Could incorporate a park in some way, and maybe some housing. But most of all, you should be able to see the water from Pratt Street and McKeldin Plaza should actually become a gathering place than a glorified pedestrian island.
I submitted these ideas.

That house where the clown who led police on a two day manhunt lives in Cockeysville has a huge stand of bamboo.

The consent decree stems from a 2016 investigation by the US Department of Justice into the BPD.
The consent decree is a federal court order saying “BPD Must do these things because they’ve been the bad boys(and girls)”
The BPDs progress on the items from the decree (another commenter explained those well) are monitored by a group of experts and a federal judge.
If you mean the EPA/sewage one, same thing but insert EPA instead of DOJ, and insert city of Baltimore instead of BPD

Fair points, and thanks for the reply. I've already stepped back, mostly letting this play out without response. I rarely post on social media, and I see how I muddied the point I was trying to make by being snarky (and in some ways a bit incoherent.) It is what it is. Cheers.

OP is not saying that only certain race can have an opinion on the matter. They're merely pointing out the fact that if you want to inform the public of any given issue, its best practice to interview people it affects the most; to be more accurately representative. If it was about how the lack of access to abortions affects women and i interviewed a conservative white woman, you would probably reconsider your reaction.
