A lot of jobs that should be going to blacks are going to illegal aliens instead.
Jobs have nothing to do with the fact that President Trump made some racially charged comments. It has nothing to do with stop and frisk either.
I already have a job. It's a wonder what having a college degree does. And even with the illegals gone, how do we know racial discrimination won't take place?
Again, address these comments:
"Our great African American President hasn't exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore!",
Address this: He is in favor of a nationwide stop and frisk.
Why shouldn't I think he might sign off on policies that would adversely affect me as a Black person? You can either address what I said to address, or not respond at all.
Obviously more than enough people were fed up enough.
Well, I look out for #1. Neither candidate would have been helpful for me. I most certainly wasn't going to vote for Trump. Any President who is in favor of a national stop and frisk is not the president for me.
My family was all democratic back then as well. In fact my grandfather was a democratic county freeholder in the most populated county in NJ. From your screen name, I am guessing that you are a decade older than I am, but I still remember back then, NJ democrats and NJ republicans were practically indistinguishable.
I think that all changed around the time of Jim Florio, and that is when many in my family switched to republican.
Grew up in Ct, which shared those same traits. Decades back, Democrats were mainstream, bread and butter issues. It never occurred to us that 45 year old Johnny being able to join 6 year old Joanie in the bathroom despite being strangers, was of paramount importance.
Sure the news, anywhere the press isn't government controlled, will show the "what doesn't happen often".
Using the most generous estimates the total number of demonstrators was about 1% of the US population.
Let me ask you a question:
Do the news organizations cover the thousands of airplanes that land and take off safely every single day or the rare crash?
There's a saying local news has in the US, "If it bleeds it leads".
I think you are right..but so there is the political will to show all of this.
I did. I am a young, college-educated and immigrant woman. I also work in of the most liberals fields (I'm a lawyer), and I'm definitely in the minority in my workplace. Weekly lunches that involve politics definitely are very entertaining these days.
I've supported him since the primaries and very proud of our President

Yeah. She did some pretty disastrous things as well, like not making payments to the pension fund. On the bright side, she did name a rest stop after Howard Stern for his endorsement of her.
I think Tom Kean was the last good NJ governor.
Probably right. I think it's impossible for NJ to turn out good politicians - just look at Christie or Booker. Total slime.
Why do you think protests involving an infinitesimal portion of the population are indicative of anything?
I don't think how many people are involved in the demonstrations, we see demonstrations with thousands people in many US cities.
