i think this was articulated very well and i'm really glad you brought it up. i love going to lexington market, i remember walking there from bolton hill one day with adam golfer actually.. it was a lovely walk. i have encountered a lot of that weird race stuff too with people here especially people i work with, since i work in fells point.

and i think opinions of the city as a city / opinions of the city based on its people are very very linked on a deep level.

But I totally feel you on this, it pisses me off too. Especially since the folks are the most scared are the least likely to get attacked, it's usually those "scary black and brown locals" who are the majority of the victims. And even so, they don't go around tightly clutching their pearls to their chest.
