Are these cities primarily black in population?

Now, why would you say that?

[Clemenza]

Be careful about Newark. C. Booker is at least TRYING to reform policing, and the city is actually GAINING population (thanks largely to Brazilian and Ecuadorian immigrants). It also benefits from being a quick train ride away from New York, and having Prudential and Blue Cross downtown.

It is far from paradise, nor the safe and prosperous Newark that my family lived in (1920s-1960s) but it is a better place than it was 15 years ago, and is nowhere near as bad as certain other armpits in the state (Camden and Trenton).
