In less than 13 years in 70 percent black Baltimore, blacks have murdered nearly 3,000 other black people in the crumbling ruins of a city white people long ago built, only to abandon when black crime became an intolerable proposition when considering the raising of white children.

President Trump is right about Baltimore, in ways far, far beyond his superficial Tweet could ever dare reach.

In less than 13 Years, Blacks in 70% Black Baltimore Have Murdered Close to 3,000 Other Blacks. Since 2007 in 70 percent black Baltimore, there have been 3345 homicides. Of those, 2,940 have been black, or 88 percent. The bulk of homicides in the city are black on black, though as The City that Bleeds: Race, History, and the Death of Baltimore documents, there is also a shocking amount of black on white violence in Baltimore too.

Is there one city in the rest of the United States of America where whites have murdered that many other white people over the past 100 years?

Serious question.

Inadvertently, President Trump has once again kicked the door concealing racial truths long ago discarded within boxes never again to see the light of day. The problem is, as Horace long ago observed, nature has a funny way of always coming back regardless of how many times you try and get rid of her.

You can’t keep the door locked forever.
