Im well aware of most slums.
I grew up in East Baltimore in a community called Hollander Ridge for the first 10 years and then we moved up the Lexington Terrace on the west side of downtown.
I have family still in downtown Baltimore, i know who owns the stores. Blacks might own the clothing stores and thats about it.
Did you read the sentence that I asked you to re-read?
And while you may be right, about Baltimore, I trust you know you can't assign one city and take it as being representative of the rest of the nation. Hence why it was suggested you travel more. You get that right?
