Show me any city ran by a Black Administration and I will show you another Baltimore and many more like it.

I'd say you were right, CARBOB but the common denominator - as well as the root cause - is not that they're black, but that they're leftists w/ a base that believes electing someone who looks like them is going to change their lives and towns for the better.

My point is if it is a Republican ran administration, it will not be like Baltimore or Chicago. For instance, Jacksonville, Fl.

Yes, I understood what you mean, I surely did and wasn't disagreeing with you, just pointed out that the main reason is that they're leftists. Thankfully, more black folks are finally waking up to the fact that the Democrat party has done nothing for people of color.

You could add St. Louis, Atlanta, Detroit and other cities that have the same problems and have the same root cause for those problems.
