As noted in The Sun, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake recently commented than when she is in a racially-mixed group, "... people are automatically suspicious." Do these people approach her and tell her that they're suspicious of her and her companions ("Rawlings-Blake calls for 'new ideas' to reduce black-on-black crime," March 15)?
If not, how does she reach such a suspicious conclusion? Perhaps people look, even stare, at her because she's a good-looking young woman who also happens to be Baltimore's mayor. I'm pretty sure that claiming to be able to read minds is not the best way to achieve better racial understanding.
