Reply to comment by felsonj in How is the homeless situation in Newark train station made possible? by [deleted]
I don't see how homeless people threaten Penn Station being a train station. They aren't sitting on the tracks.

Being homeless in a public place is not a crime. Rounding up the homeless in Penn Station would be a severe violation of their civil rights. Just because you feel uncomfortable when you see homeless people, it doesn't give the police the right to forcibly remove them.

A ton of media outlets have reported on it now. Fox News was far from the first and they are just using this scandal as a way to bash a majority black city, which is why nobody is taking them seriously.

The only thing more embarassing that signing a sister city agreement with a fake country is openly admitting that you watch Fox News.

"If a major NJ newspaper had a reporter dedicated to covering government in this state’s largest city—especially one who knows how to use Google—perhaps news outlets from halfway across the world wouldn’t have had the story (re: Newark's sister city accident) first" by madsheb
It's still really bizarre that the city was tricked by a sex cult.

Still don't understand how this happened. Five minutes of Googling would show that it's not a real city.

Reply to comment by Nwk_NJ in Activist in Newark, NJ: We must end the 'ban on Black history' by madsheb
There might not be a literal ban but watering down a black history course to the point that some of the most important black intellectuals in U.S. history have been removed from the syllabus because they offend the sensibilities of reactionary dipshits like Ron DeSantis is the main point, not whether the word "ban" is being used correctly.

There isn't an outright ban, but how do you explain the College Board removing so many important black intellectuals from their AP class?

There are Spanish and Irish heritage organizations in the U.S. Do schools not celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month? Who do you think hosts the St. Patricks parade down Halsey Street evey year? Black student unions exist on campuses because black students have historically been discriminated against in places of education so they needed to organize to fight for their interests.

Black students unions fight back against racism. Other groups formed around race are just racist. You can't just say any group that has to do with race is bad without making that distinction.

You think telling the black student union they can no longer meet on school grounds will fix racial tensions? You crazy dude.

Those people still deserve homes.

Housing is a human right and people deserve homes period. If a shipping container provides people with temporary relief, good. But it's not a real solution to the crisis we face.
