O'Malley: Blacks are not 'disposable citizens.' [View all]
Former Gov. Martin O’Malley on Sunday said that recent racial tensions in Baltimore were the result of national disinterest in black communities.
“What happened in Baltimore should be a wake-up call for the entire country,” O’Malley told host Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“We need to stop ignoring people of color and acting like they are disposable citizens,” he said.
“There are people in our cities who feel like they are being totally left behind and disregarded,” O’Malley added. “They’re angry and feel ignored.”
