Can you see any other racial group putting someone like George Floyd up on a pedestal? Whites, Hispanics, Asians, whatever honoring a woman-threatening, drug addicted porn star whose biggest claim to fame is trying to pass off a counterfeit $20 and being killed by a police officer?

Newark, if God gave the planet an enema, he would stick it in Newark. I lasted 8 years there as a street agent in the 60s and 70s. I see it has not changed much.

After the riots in the 60s, they leveled part of the central ward and turned it into a parking lot. I guess that is one way to rehab a city. Nuclear revitalization would have been better.

Ras Baraka is the son of Amiri Baraka, formerly Leroy Jones. Rabble rouser. Amiri Baraka had a place at Springfield Avenue and MLK (formerly High Street), not far from where I went to college at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Right across from NJIT is Robeson Hall of the Rutgers Newark campus, with a bust of Paul Robeson, an opera singer who spent some time in the Soviet Union during Joe Stalin’s reign of terror. Yes, a hardcore commie.

I was born and raised in Newark, watched the city go down the toilet. Addonizio went to prison. Ken Gibson, an NCE alumnus, eventually was a disappointment. 5 consecutive Newark mayors were sent up the river. Will something emerge about Cory Booker to make him number 6?

“Not very Woke ~ that. Borderline perpetuating multiple racial stereotypes considering the circumstances of his FUBAR life. Some one needs needlessly cancelled over that.”

You be raciss! What you described is being authentically black! Not some Uncle Tom like Ben Carson or Thomas Sowell!” /s

Sculptures, plaques, memorials, streets named for 13%-er career criminals. Insanity.

Newark is a sick city—it is fitting that they honor a career criminal.
