Thank God Carmelo Anthony And His Stupid Hat Are Here To Save The Streets Of "His City"

“To see my city in a State of Emergency is just shocking. We need to protect our city, not destroy it. What happens when we get the answers that we want, and the media attention is not there anymore? We go back to being the same ol Baltimore City again. If not yourself, then Think about the youth. How this will impact them. Let’s build our city up not tear it down. Although, we want justice, let’s look at the real issues at hand. For example, When was the last school built in Baltimore? That’s just one example. I know my community is fed up. I’m all about fighting for what we believe in. The anger, the resentment, the neglect that our community feels right now, will not change over night. Continue, fighting for what you believe in. But remember, it takes no time to destroy something. But, it can take forever to build it back up. ” – Carmelo Anthony (via Instagram)

I want to make this very clear. Fuck you, Carmelo Anthony. You don’t get to come to Baltimore and pretend to be a hero after all that “coming home” bullshit when you went to the Knicks. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t praise Baltimore as your hometown for years and then spit right in our face by calling NYC home. That’s not how it works. You can’t do a nauseating PR campaign where you pretend Baltimore doesn’t exist and then show up and expect people to bow at your feet. That’s some shit Lebron would pull. It’s well and good that you’re in support of fixing up a city in ruins, but that’s all it is to you now. A city. Not YOUR city. So thanks, but no thanks Carmelo. Not on my turf, bud. Beat it. We’ve got plenty of influential people around helping this city heal and get the help it needs. We don’t need you. Take your dumb hat and go “home”. We’ll take it from here.
