Ive lived in jersey all my life, born n raised...I currently reside in Somerset county, and my husband is white and I, black. WE ARE TRYING TO LEAVE NEW JERSEY. I realize this post was years ago so I think I have a better idea of what it is not in 2013, you jersey is getting worse by the minute! The cost of living is EXTREMELY high, its like they're in a competitive race for status and theyre the ONLY ones racing! ...my county is one of the richest countries seats in america...not California. ...somerset county, new Jersey. ..and while you may think it's racially accepting, it depends on where you go. If you are a black man with a white woman, then you won't get that many stares, HOWEVER if its the other way around, like my family, be prepared to get "what are you doing with a sistah?!" Or they stare so hard that YOU might spontaneously combust! ...jersey can be just as ignorant.
And as for jc ..DONT BOTHER!
Places you will NEVER catch me ( and I mean if im driving and I see these signs I literally break out into a sweat and panic)
NEWARK!( 100 deaths in 10 days as of last month)
Camden(known as the most dangerous city in America)
Jersey city( just as ratchet as newark, but ill be nice and put it on a smaller scale of ratchet..its pretty run down and sketch lookin in ALOT of areas)
Morristown is greatly diverse but very very expensive!
English town also very expensive but nice
Montclair super expensive ESPECIALLY the university but its a great school
And Princeton is very expensive, but also very nice( snoody with all the ivy league goers)
Bridgewater, also expensive, its nice and the schools are really good but very skanky and you better have money to donate for the booster club if you wanna be noticed!
Bottom line, if you have money then by all means go for it, if not then I highly recommend not going for NJ (which btw is known as the rich mans playground)
Why do people keep asking about the race thing in New Jersey? Seriously? No one cares.
Are these people even actualy experiencing or have ever experienced even once some kind of significant racism? Who would be doing that this day and age? It's all just old people who do that. And it's everywhere in this country too, 20/20 or whatever tried to see people's reactions in TEXAS, with a fake lesbo souple with a daughter, and people DEFENDDED the lesbo couple when the actress-waitress-plant started bugging them abiut their lifestyle choices.
I think all these people are just full of themselves and egocentric. No one's being or ever has been racist to them.
the only racism you'll get is from black people and that's for being an inter-racial couple
and maybe from immigrants from the Near East/India/China
but really they can't do anything. It's a non-issue. Worst case scenario some black kids/guys try to bully you, but as long as you live in a good area, the cops are always at most 10 minutes away. Plus you could always raise a ton of publicity should anything happen and then the cops would guard yu like personal bodyguards to make sure the state doesn't look racist.
no no no, it's not Republicans are racist and Democrats aren't
It's Republicans can do math and democrats can't so all they can do is whine about race and cling to their dead late-60's hippy movement philosophy. The culutral revolution had its uses, but we're beyond that now.

Haha,..good one. Teabaggers were carrying around signs with Obama as a witch doctor with a bone thru his nose. Many still believe he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I heard a lot of them whining "I want my country back!" Lots of racism going on.
It's YOU who can't do the math. Face it - the Republican base of old white ppl is dying off. This isn't Beaver Cleaver America any more & hasn't been for yrs. You either adapt or get left behind.
