If the Baltimore Orioles leaves Baltimore, he would call them bigoted for moving to the burbs....




BALTIMORE (TND) — Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott shared his disappointment Tuesday that too much public money has gone to arts organizations that "just happen to be White-ran."

The comment came during the announcement of a $3.6 million "Diversity in Arts" grant funded by COVID-19 relief dollars. Capital grant recipients include the The National Great Blacks In Wax Museum on North Avenue and the Reginald F. Lewis Museum.

For too long, public dollars have simply just gone to the big names and the big players in town," Mayor Scott said. "And dare I say, I know my staff is going to hate this, the big names and big players in town that just happen to be White-ran organizations in Baltimore."

Why are COVID funds not going back to Washington if they were not used for COVID?

Because COVID was a smoke screen for a transfer of wealth......a portion of that being to the politicians themselves.

Can’t if we’re following the US Constitution. Education and Art are required.

If the Orioles leave Baltimore, they will be called racist. It happened to the Braves when they left Atlanta and Steinbrenner did not want to be called that when he was thinking of leaving The Bronx.

Yeah, Lumumba did that crap in Jackson. Took about three years for his peeps to run it into the ground. Now the organization no longer exists.

I hate democrats. I hate their politicians, and more importantly, I hate their voters. This is an asinine use of taxpayer dollars.

I think reruns of The Wire are all the “arts” funding anyone needs associated with Baltimore.

Have the Ravens move back to Cleveland and pretend the current incarnation of the Browns were a bad dream.

Another shite hole city led by yet another dumbass democratic.

DEMOCRATS have a hard enough time to know how to run a lawnmower, yet run a city.
