#Baltimore #Segregation #HBCU

Only able to destroy what others build.
take the bricks and make BBQ's between dorms
Good. Now you can all shot eachother without barriers
When that wall was built in 1940 the population of Baltimore was 859,000. In 2020 the population was 585,000. Success!!!
That took a long time… but better late than never.
They say my front door was put up to keep out African Americans and minorities. Fortunately, we will be tearing it down to allow access to all cultures…where did my TV go?
There's no more white people left in BMORE lmao 🤣.
A wall nobody knew existed somehow kept Baltimore residents from being brain surgeons?
This is the epitome of America 2023
dig up the past to deflect from crimes of the present
Did this wall force Baltimore men to shoot 330 of each other last year?
Did the wall break into houses to tear up job applications and plant guns and drugs?
Boy you sure showed that pile of racist bricks where to go.
Finally, an end to tyrannous terracotta
Baltimore Chocolate City it's going to be the future state of black people https://youtube.com/shorts/zfH31I5VLP0?feature=share
I'm sure this will make it all equal now and everybody will get their fair share of what ?
And now it's all ghetto so they don't need it anymore.
Meanwhile, Robert Byrds statue is still standing. Biden said it’s off limits to the cockroaches.
Why are you making a Freemason hand signal, Tim?
It's been almost a hundred years since any of this nonsense you're spewing was a reality why are you trying to divide why are you bringing up all this racist crap black people are the most racist people I've ever met a skinny Asian
So how many years has it been since a black person couldn't walk with a wanted to in that College? 70 years later you're bringing it up pathetic stupid wrong America is the least prejudiced country in the world
Amazing
Hopefully they repurpose those bricks and make a walk path or trail connection of the sides.
Like the last 15 seconds of the video, they say they are building another one in the same spot.
Thanks uncle Remus. So, They are spending taxes to tear it down and build another one in the same spot? But the new wall is totally not racist because democrats made it?
Thanks for attempting to cause racial tension Tim 😈 I'm saving you a spot
Those shopping centers are closing in a few years 😂😂 ..
Why do this? The black community wants nothing more than to be separated from the white oppressors. The white people are the sole source of all their problems aren’t they?
I’ll bet there’s no more white people there.
I wonder why…….
Funny irony is black people are pushing for extreme segregation. So it will be built back up under their terms I’m sure. Make spite walls great again
Whites are leaving Baltimore because of its awful government so no need for any such wall. Where I live we are encountering refugees from that city daily.
Too bad. Nice brick wall but keep chain-link fence up?
For those asking what took so long:
I found that the wall was built by Morris Macht of the Welsh Construction Company that was started by his father Ephraim Macht. After Morris’ death his cousin Morton took over who then passed it on to his son Phillip, who passed it to his daughter Amy. The company, then renamed Welsh Construction Remodeling, shut down in 2013. I found a story from 2014 by the Maryland Daily Record describing a legal battle between the family members. So my best guess why it took so long- the family probably owned the wall and now that a few generations have past, the company has closed its doors, and maybe sold off some of their properties, the city was finally able to tear down that eye sore.
Nice ❤ my gosh that’s just terrible the wall was built period
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
We don’t need walls anymore. The progressives do it too them through victimizing and free stuff. They parade AA around on leashes with their programs and social services. But you know what, they are never wear these people live. It’s always we support you, but over there, we want you to have good schools, but over there, we stand with you as long as you go home over there, we feel so sorry for you and you’re such a victim but over there and definitely not in my neighborhood. When you no longer rely on the institution for your well-being, then you are free. When you have the choice to choose what school your child goes to, where you live, what you eat, And who gets your money, then you can’t be controlled. Liberal‘s already won, and your community is too blind to see it. Every major AA held strong hold is ran by progressive ideology and desegregation in those areas segregation is the highest. Go to Chicago, do you have the progressive 80 to 90% white area and then you have all the low income people which are predominantly black nowhere near them. They have you so brainwashed and concerned about things like reparations, you’re a victim, making up excuses for your actions, pretty much saying you’re stupid and incapable of being smart, like them because of something that happened over 100 years ago. What they don’t want you to know is that they did this to you. when they shut down the factories, American manufacturing, and the automotive industry along with trade programs in the schools. I know because my friends when I was younger, we’re all different colors and cultures. We had a big factory that employed all of these people. I was a millennial and grew up in a diverse neighborhood. But guess what, when those places closed and they shut down and took away those programs from those schools. We moved out and adopted. The people who retired early or held out the longest. Their kids are the ones who bought in to all this crap that these liberals pushed in the 80s and 90s. We are more segregated and gentrified now and we ever were. That is how bad the disparity has gotten and they don’t care. I live on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon. These stuck up white progressives have no problem. Driving through these places on the way to work. They just live in a completely different world and they talk the liberal talking points and they have the BLM, alphabet community, and all of those things in their yards and so does everyone else in there upper income neighborhood, where the worst thing that happens if someone loses their dog or cat.
So let me get this straight, A wall was put up so homes with their back yards facing a parking lot and noisy mall was done for hate? Hmm. I would ask to keep the portion behind my yard so as not to see the lot and lights and people, to have privacy. Guess that’s not valued there.
African Americans are many things coward is not one of Them you gotta respect their bravery
I'm White conservative, but I strongly agree with these people tear down relics like this of a dead and gone, or near enough generation. EQUAL RIGHTS !!!!
Nah, that's exactly what this country needs now
Yay! So Americas days of racism are over now!!!
Calling it now…
Biden gave a speech while running for Congress against busing to desegregate the schools in Delaware then tried to " high tech lynch" Justice Thomas with racist lies as head of his confirmation hearing. I saw that hearing live on tv. It was straight out Jim Crow and a disgrace and a pack of lies as no one backed Hill's BS up that had worked for Thomas at the EOC. So be careful who believe or vote for. Still Klan.
There's a reason for the wall. It's like my hood, we don't want you here. You bring crime
I never even heard of the wall.
Why did it take this long ?
Isn't Baltimore Democrat?
The physical wall separating blacks from whites came down. But the mental wall of every race wanting to be away from the criminal thug community of Black people has grown 10 times higher
Maybe Baltimore should focus on getting the city's Highschoolers reading at a 3rd grade level, rather than on tearing down brick walls to fight racism.
Let’s watch the crime statistics 😂
And why is this important? How much could this of cost? Now maybe the children will learn to read and write.
Better late than never.
Obama and Hilary belong in prison for their treasonous acts of crime against American citizens.
CHUMPS WALL 🤡
THE 86'd RACIST
Democrats erasing their own history again
And you all think this is important now?
