  • You cannot expect to be successful in this life if you engage in behavior that is not acceptable to the larger society. When a group creates a sub-culture, that become the way of life for that group, you cannot expect the larger populus to embrace you.

    Low self esteem is the culpit of self hate, division, crime, drug use, appearance, and poorly educated. Improved education program, speech and most educated politician can save a group of people. stop hating self. Strive for excellent

  • I'm always struck by those who believe an ignorance man is better than one of wisdom. Ignorant men are more compelling because he "always" blame others' success for their failure and they envy achievers. Citizens of Neward should concentrate on improving their being via education. This is America where success is possible even though the road is tough. Though racism is alive, it can be an excuse for not having the know how or network.

    Achievers companions are other achievers.

  • The posts in this thread are concerning. Like citizens of Washington D.C., who elected Mayor B. despite his addition to cocain and crack. Washington D.C. was a failed state. Today, the same citizens removed Michelle Rhee who fired incompetent teachers, which resulted in higher test scores that translates to a smarter generat

    In Newark, N.J., whoes citizens are of similar background, supported a Mayor that was obviously corrupt and abuses. A man who was in politic for his own political gain

  • good documentary, while I don't like Chris Christie I'm glad he put sharp or what ever his name is in prison, what a dirt bag that guy is, too bad he got so soon

  • Cory Booker will be president one day.

  • From the mouth of Sharpe James himself, "This nigga Cory Booker is an Uncle Tom!"

  • @Zenthik: Pray for a brain you dumb slave.

  • Carpetbagger? What is this? The Reconstruction era South? The last people who called opponents carpetbaggers were wearing white hoods and burning crosses. Sharpe James was corrupt, just like his predecessors. If you honestly think that Corey Booker is ripping Newark off, the why the fuck would he live in shitty neighborhoods and public housing for almost his entire time in Newark? Honestly, you people should be ashamed of yourselves. And you people think you're the victims of racism. Hypocrites

  • i believe cory booker is doing the best that he knows how to do! i commend him for what he has done so far and i wish that the people of newark would understand that cory is trying to clean up this mess of a city and its gonna take a hell of alot more than 4 years to clean it up bcuz it took a hell of alot longer than 4 years to mess it up! however altho i DONT AGREE with mayor bookers decision to bring outsiders into our city im confident he did so with good intentions

  • Corey Booker is a con-man and he is only able to fool simple minded people. Corey will have that easy life you speak about after he is finished ripping Newark off. Corey Booker is not even from Newark and does not have any real love for it or the people of Newark. Newark is just a stepping stone for Corey. call it,what it is. Notice how he put all those white cops in power of the police in a city full of blk people. He brought the KKK into a blk city,none of the police heads are from Newark.

  • @READY4REVELATION How much does Sharpe James pay you, or are you that stupid that you swallow his racist crap and do it for free?

  • @READY4REVELATION STFU. smh

  • Sharpe James is a f scumbag who resorts to bully tactics. He is a POS and has nothing to offer..

  • ok booker team did the same thing

  • Black people are so racist.

    "You're suspect boy, you ain't black!"

    "You're suspect for, you ain't black!"

    It actually looks like just a bunch of brainwashed, braindead fucking SPENDOCRATS."

    What can you get ME? What can you do for me? It's all bullshit.

    Thank God for Chris Christie.

  • This guy is bought and paid for!!! "A New day is dawning in Newark? The sun is shining and new oppurtunities and new hope? LIAR!!! America is falling fast!! Tell the damn truth. He sounds like a damn politcian. Already lying and he hasn't got into office yet!!! Mostof you love someone coming in saying false shit and young and lightskin!! Wake up!! The real thugs are in Washington DC!!!

  • Respect from Canada to Mayor Booker! The world needs more people in politics like him, and sharpe......may he rot in hell ya!

  • I like fact that Booker, who grew up in the neighborhood and knows what needs to be done and change, took stand for the people and made a change... He never gave up no matter how hard and violent things got... Chicago needs major like him.. fuck Sharp

  • silly niggers electing worthless niggers deserve to live in slums

  • THIS GUY IS SELLING US NEWARK RESIDENTS OUT..I FEEL THE PAIN NO LIBRARY NO POLICE 16 PERCENT TAX HIKE AND ITS HARD..I WANT TO KNOW WHERE HE LIVES

  • Fuck... i was expecting soemthing else not this politcial shit

  • Comment removed

  • WAT DID HE SAY?? A "CARPET BAGGER"???? WAT THE FUCK IS THAT A RACIAL SLUR AGAINST WHITE PPL OR SUMTHIN???

  • @daytona0310 No, a carpet bagger is somebody who comes in from the outside to take advantage of the people who were already there. It was initially a Southern reference to Northerners who moved South during the Reconstruction era. They typically carried a form of luggage called a "carpet bag". Nothing to do with race. Sharpe is calls Booker that in reference to him growing up and going to college elsewhere before moving to Newark and getting involved in politics.

  • Sharpe James returned to Newark yesterday after serving 27 months in a federal pen. Sad thing is, if he announced that he was entering this year's election today, he'd win by a landslide.

  • Yep, this is what you get when you have a city full of Urban Americans......savagery! And Christie has no choice but to start slashing all of the Big Brother money the state doles out, watch for the Baby Mama and all other grifters to have a seizure. Yep, Newark is the future of this country, a boiling pot of violent scumbags ( not all in NJ are scum). Watch for the white libs to cater more and more to Urban Americans as they threaten to get more violent. The United States Of Ameritard is lost.

  • @tickyul who let you on the internet?

  • @orinincandenza Yep, typical lib, hater of free speech. Truth hurts huh? Why don't you tell me what you find wrong with my post.

  • @tickyul They never said anything about you not being able to speak freely, you're free to sound as stupid and ignorant as you want. But you're still stupid and ignorant, that's the point.

  • @billthebutcher2 Right, they never said I could not speak. But, the need to FLAME someone when what they say does not fit into their midset is pretty pathetic in my opinion....you are a perfect example.

  • @tickyul nope I'm not, I'd say nice try but it really wasn't.

  • @billthebutcher2 Yes, hopefully whites and blacks will be allowed to voluntarily resegregate, just like they are doing now.......without the government butting in. No more bringing ghetto section 8 housing to an all white neighborhood, we know what that brings.

  • on o:16. das cedar ave i used to live on that street! lol GOD DAMN WUT A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD!! I SAW MY 1ST 3 PEOPLE GET KILLED THERE!? NEVER WANNA GO BACK!

  • the devils yu know-sharpe/nagin are better than the devil yu don't know-this shows that genuine ppl will never get to lead b/c this world is cruel

  • As long as people/brothers think Sharpe or Nagin got your back, we/you/me are doomed.

  • yu might be surprised they have your best interest at heart regardless of their flaws than this dude who is using yu to step into big/better things-you may not understand but one day yu will

  • @belemaful what is wrong with your "o" key? it doesn't seem to work when you're typing important words such as "you".

    look into that.

  • amazing, inspiring documentary! so inspiring to see someone make an ongoing personal sacrifice to better people's lives.

  • It's amazing what Cory Booker has been able to do in 3 years as mayor than what Sharpe James had did in his 20.

  • A man who could have had an easy life of wealth, and instead he chose one of the worst jobs to do. Cory Booker is amazing, and this is who we should teach our young people to be like.

  • @yannelli55 how could he have had an easy life of wealth?

  • @asif1912 He graduated Oxford a Rhodes scholar, started out with a prestigious law firm, but left it behind him in order to roll up his sleeves and work for Newark.

  • @yannelli55 He is a Rhodes scholar and started out with a prestigious law firm, but gave it up to help improve the city of Newark instead.

  • right now 7-10-09 i think Cory Brooker is doing a wonderful job in the streets of newark .If newark aint da realest i dont no wat is .

  • This was a very disturbing movie. Sharpe James was a monster; a hateful, misogynistic, and dishonest person, who tapped angry and uneducated people.

    He behaved like such a horrible person in public that you wonder why people couldn't see his worst traits.

    It shows you how blind loyalty can ruin people.

  • 100% right. As a liberal I'm disgusted on how many people supported Sharpe he is a monster

  • Oh I get. I thought this video was gonna be dudes fighting in a tralier park. HAHA.. Because it says "Street fight trailer." I'm an idiot.

  • Cory Booker is the man to watch 2016 Yes We Can Again!!!!!

  • Americans!!!!

    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrggggggggggggghhhhh

  • you're an idiot. (a) if you hate america why are you watching videos on an american website; (b) this movie is amazing, as is evidenced by it's awards; and (c) this film depicts an aspect of democracy that's often overlooked, how the hell is that "shit"?

  • !!!!!!!!!!!

  • u kno a site were i can watch this

  • netflix, on demand

  • Great film

  • what is the name of the song playing in the background?

  • I know it was composed for the film by James Baxter, but I can't figure out the title.

  • taht cory dude kinda looks like reggie miller, reggie should be mayour

  • so what is the guy debating bout really is he gonna like try to end street fightin for good

  • Wtf we got alot of smart-asses here.

    Who gives flying fuck its dame vid stfu.

  • the guy who filmed this was a real dick. i watched the movie, and he didnt care about who he exploited and continually defied authorities. just not a high character guy. hes an opportunist

  • Defying authority is not a bad thing. Especially when you're trying to uncover what's wrong with the authority!

    Exploiting people may be another matter, I di0dn't see the film. But for the record, defying authority is the only way to make things right when what the authority wants is wrong.

  • exploitation like what Sharpe James did to Newark for 20 plus years?

  • sometimes, the authority is wrong.

  • city...

  • before u say shit go to newark u wont make it a day there

  • Losers? You even don't know the difference between the city and the state. I wonder who the loser is...

    We love Newark, as well as our Mayor

  • ive got mad friends from jersey who are some cool motherfuckers who dont take NO LIP

  • get it right new jersey is the state newark is the city

  • booker is slowly turning newark around..yeah u have your dumb people here and there but dont every city haves that..so far he is better then sharpe james..crime rate is down..thats all i have to say

  • lol 1:46 he looks like robert mugabe

  • yeah fuck you mother fucker cops your days are over believe it

  • Its a shame and blatant that the PD and FD took down BOOKER's poster. Goes to show you that corruption runs ramped through the political office. Here you have a man that wants change but the citizens will put up with a corrupt man. Even PD & FD.

  • repping that Portuguese flag at 29 :p

  • sharp is a fucking dirtbag...hes a corrupt thug i dont understand how ppl love him...i really dont

  • @Crippled99 When your kid gets shot by some crooked cop, you would WANT Al Sharpton to bring some noise to it instead of letting the city sweep it under the rug. Maybe you live in some plush neighborhood where things that he brings to light doesnt happen to you, your family, and friends way too often (I hope i'm not giving you too much credit) but what people need in a time like that is a LOUD MOUTH. Thank God for Al Sharpton for not being afraid to stand up to the inner-city oppression.

  • @Crippled99 The documentary hints at this. People supported him for so long, and he's so familiar, that people are afraid to be wrong about their choice to keep him in office. Cognitive Bias is powerful.

  • @Crippled99 Because they are ignorant! Marion Barry enough said!

  • street fight is SUCH an incredible documentary.

    i simply cannot get enough.

    Mr. Curry, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make another documentary on urban politics. You absolutely have to.

  • James was a vigilante thug that enjoyed the power that came along with being a mayor!

  • is that kurt angle

  • Sharpe James is a thug motherfucker that's why he's done. Book his ass and haul him to prison.

  • i just watched this documentary in school! i loved it! I was so hurt by the ignorance of newark citizens and how they kept voting for someone that was never gonna make a change, it was so disturbing...but i was happy cory booker never lost his integrity!

  • Newark is and always will be nice a place to live. It's the heart of Nj.Why do you think all the crackers want to work down here ?Anonymous b church where do you live and work? And go to church at ?

  • Calling people "crackers" does not help Newark in any way.

    It only reinforces stereotypes.

    In the future, do your community a favor & shut the fuck up.

  • Corey Booker is a hero of mine. I respect and admire him greatly! He chose a hard road, and he has been faithful to it! Bravo! Toni Sullivan

  • I might add that this was the craziest doc I've ever seen. I was left frustrated watching this and felt motivated to help out Corey Booker.

    Def a must see. Believe me its as close to a street fight as you'll get. You think shit like what happens in this doc happens in today's world. Creepy as fuckin hell.

  • glad Sharpe James is outta there. F'in loser.

  • wheres the street fight?

  • in this film, you actually see black people riding in vans on BULLHORNS screaming that Corey Booker isn't black. at some point, black people we are going to have to address these issues...

  • the ignorant people who wanted sharpe james were satisfied with lives and didnt want change

  • Too bad Ex Mayor Sharpe James in being indicted by the FEDs for imbezzelment.

  • Uh....idiot cant you read? It clearly says street fight TRAILER dumbass!

  • I like cory booker very much.

    he is an inspiration.

  • dats why booker win his da shit + his sexy as helll

  • I was their for the first mayoral race. I love elections in black communities - it's never about issues. It's about how "black" you are, or how many motown artist you can have playing for you.

  • Al Sharpton is a puppet.

  • ig-nant n******

  • go booker

  • This looks good but they need to do this in my neighborhood, camden nj cuz its worse down here

  • i don't care about what people say about corey booker. he's a good person and is doing his best for this city. doing way more than sharp james ever did

  • Newark is does not enforce laws against illegal aliens! It is a safe zone for all illegals. No illegal alien is arrested for DUI or checked out propery. Make the Mayor and police use the ICE program that many States and cities are using with police. ENFORCE NOW ! Stop the illegal invasion. Take back your country and towns ! Ted Hayed dot net

  • How could you understand what your mother and mother's mother were saying with all that dick in their mouths? You know they were both racist hoe's just like you BROTHA !

  • The racism in you is so transparent

  • To mr premium unleaded. Mr booker racism is apparent.He had white reporters chasing the black mayor of my town. Some of the film takes place on my block. We chased the crackers away.Happy Black History Month.

  • Cracker Nigger

    Which word is worse?

  • Cracker because it describes a race. Nigger describes a person

  • gregorykenney - you chased those crackers away. So how is Newark and your neighborhood doing now?

  • you embody the american stereotype of someone who doesn't know what's best for him. you should shut your mouth and be happy someone else did.

  • Zip and lock.You seem embody somone who could'nt shut me up if we meet.

  • Zip and lock.You seem embody somone who could'nt shut me up if we meet.

  • Some parts of Essex County like Newark, East Orange, Orange and Irvington to start needs the National Guard to get things in order on the streets. The cops are out numbered, out smarted and let's not talk about the weapons.

  • you are a waste of dna. you should be sodomized by andre the giant

  • About the documentary, you might want to check out pbs dot org and then search for the show "POV". POV is the show that broadcast this documentary. They also recently came out with another documentary called "Revolution '67" about the Newark riots. Bye.

  • I know that Sharpton supported James but Booker got a decent amount of support from other national black leaders. With regards to the last point it should be understood that James had a political machine so you can not always outright blame voters when for most of his political career he ran unopposed. Though I do agree that the people that voted for him in the 2002 race were completely blind or bought out.

  • Sorry, I hit the post comment button by mistake. Sharpe James was just federally indicted yesterday on 33 counts of fraud and misusing city credit cards.

  • Yep, it's about time. What is sad is that I was listening to the Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC today and you still had some apologists for James calling in. He's destroyed my city, thank god something is finally being done and how sad it is that we had to wait this long because the State Democratic Party's fear of losing black votes from his political machine.

  • Sharpe just got indicted on 33 counts of

  • Sharpe James for sanitation commissoner because you need new garbage trucks to clean up bodies after a terrorist attack.

  • I'm starting to get really interested in Mr. Booker, even though I'm Irish. Can someone please tell me what was Sharp for and what was Booker for? Someone please let me know. I'm really interested.

  • Booker is for change and Sharpe was for power, both were Democrats

  • An amazing film. Shows just how scummy Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are, and how low politics can be. Long live Cory Booker!

  • I've met Cory Booker and talked to him, he is the real deal. How did Sharpe James win that Election? Shows how intercity politics can be so corrupt.

  • Just saw the film and it rocks. It shows how badly the country needs to clean its system.

  • You've been blogged.

  • I left Newark for Atlanta years ago. If there would have been a Cory Booker then, I'd still be there working on his team. Blessings to you Cory for taking the risk it took to get to where you are today. You stand for much more than politics, you stand for righteousness, truth & honor. Need more like you.

  • What kind of choice was that? ATL is considered to be more dangerous than Newark. visit infopleaseDOTcom/ipa/A0921299D­OThtml

  • I got to see cory booker on oprah today. I didn't know of him until today. he's so inspiring. I hope he goes far.

  • Yeah, it is a pretty interesting film (I grew up in Newark). Anyway, it is good that James is finally out, the corruption was rampant under his government. Unfortunately he still is a State Senator, which speaks volumes about the NJ Democratic Party.

  • This looks good. I'm from Paterson.
