SuperMexican explains Baltimore in one sentence.

SuperMexican says on his site to share this and he offers several buttons to do that and when the mouse rolls over the picture on his site a "pin it" button appears so I'm guessing from all that it's okay to show the whole thing. This is his entire post.

Baltimore explained by SuperMexican, El Super.


Goodness. Do you have to look at it through the prism of race? That one single angle? 

The 50+ comments draw a picture of his readers over there, they're all in agreement.

Not so with El Super's twitter line where he picks up a commenter named Cody who the rest guess is a sixteen year old rich New Jersey white kid who insists on "institutional racism." His education he points out supersedes any and all new information that he can observe for himself and process for himself even when the point of the post is institutional racism but in the other direction than usually discussed and now where things have reversed institutionally, but still described as un-institutionalized pre-reversed racism. Cody insists the others catch up. To what? To reality. His received construction.

Cody the commenter raises an argumentum ad authoritah as their wont, why, you simply must read _____ to be properly informed such as he. Student then. We must read his teacher to understand his position, he being unable to elaborate effectively and cogently himself. No, Cody, you need to read us as teachers rather than we read your teacher.  

Everything including sex and race are actually mental constructions, it is insisted ad nauseam and on several channels at once, on all media simultaneously. Now, you are to be denounced for not accepting Cody's constructed reality. Cody the commenter refers to his version of institutional racism and rejects outright SuperMexican's observations as arranged. The interpretation the rest of us use. The commenters have fun batting around Cody, ill prepared to handle opposing positions formed with additional and with different information.
