Opinion: Enough with the squeegee panhandling; Baltimore leaders must intervene

If it was a white kid who had so angrily banged my driver-side window that I thought it was going to shatter, I would have unhesitatingly laid into that son of a gun with a few choice words. But it was a Black kid, and I said nothing. I did not want to offend. I just bit my tongue and prayed for the light to change. Can an old white dude complain about squeegee kids without sounding racist? Probably not. I mean, the African American grandmother of my friend’s multiracial son finds these street-corner hucksters irritating too. So, there’s that.
