Fox News’ top-rated pundit Tucker Carlson yet again aimed his facile racism at Baltimore, recently, calling our city “one of the worst places in the Western Hemisphere” and “a little bit of Haiti in the mid-Atlantic.”
As The Baltimore Sun’s editorial pointed out, it was an “especially egregious” outburst, even by the very low standards of Fox News and Mr. Carlson, who has lobbed casual, racist insults at Baltimore before. And yet, it will likely fade from our collective memory relatively quickly, blending in with the wave of right-wing hate that has become so commonplace in recent years.
