Painfully obvious, as you could see nothing but old and white in the group of candidates presented by the DNC. It didn't go unnoticed by the people whom they claim to support.

During the debate, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley defended his record during his two-term tenure as mayor of Baltimore (1999-2007) where riots broke out in May over the police-involved death of Freddie Gray, a black man, in April. Critics have claimed O'Malley's tough-on-crime policies prompted the riots. While there was a sharp reduction in the number of homicides during his term, the number of arrests in Baltimore spiked in 2005, the Washington Post reported. O'Malley said there were 30 years of peace before the unrest.
"We've saved over 1,000 lives in Baltimore in the last 15 years of people working together," he said. "And the vast majority of them were young and poor and black. It wasn't easy on any day. But we saved lives and we gave our city a better future, improving police and community relations every single day that I was in office."
