baltimore is a unique city. the black population here is upwards of 60%. in south carolina when you look at what happened with the situation down there, what happened in cleveland, and i think trayvon martin is really the wick on the candle that started all of this. in certain areas around the u.s. you might be able to get away with certain things like this but baltimore is not a place you can get away with it at. this can be the epicenter of change. we need to change the system from top to bottom. the way we handle criminality in the u.s., based on the sheer numbers, the data -- and i hate to go this route, but the bottom line is global warming is not a debate anymore. institutional racism cannot be a debate anymore. we have to have a real discussion about it. people can't have visceral reactions and get upset about it when we talk about black and white. not black and white in the negative context but blacks and whites are treated differently. all things being equal, if you and i do the same thing wrong, both get arrested, chances are i'm more likely to g
