stupid niggers ruin everything

[Joesavana]

was it really an NFL stadium?

i remember watching fireworks and the entertainment preceding it on July 4 in the 1960s.

it has since been demolished and is in the process of being rebuilt.

[cappy2009]

Anybody believe that this was an NFL stadium in 1930!!!

[doowopsjoy]

GOD REST ANTHONY IMPERIALE FROM NEWARK HE BROUGHT IN ALL THE NATIONAL GURDS TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE HERE IN NEWARK TOO.....MISS YOU TONY RIP

[jody808]

[gilbertd2174]

@jody808

[jody808]

naw, i'm only been here around here for the last 5 or 6 years

[gilbertd2174]

@jody808 so you came to newark not too long after i left, where did you move from?

[jody808]

i was born and grew up in Newark, i recently relocated to Bloomfield

[BobbyColePopMusic]

I was only 7 years old here, but I remember it well

[AGRace31]

Oh the music is so fitting for this video....

[socalpimp1974]

reminds me of San Diego and the invasion of the spic and beaners

[MaryOMackie]

My mother lived there and worked there, she said she remembers when Newark was once beautiful, but then the black population started increasing, the white daughters were getting raped, they were getting robbed and murdered, white teenage boys couldn't walk down the street without getting beat up.

"White Flight" wtf is that? protecting your life and your children? how dare they!

I don't care how much you try to blame whitey, poor whites don't start spraypainting walls, raping,murdering.howcome?

[frankiebones01]

Black Flight is the new White Flight. Look it up in Wikipedia, I kid you not.

[gilbertd2174]

@MaryOMackie

What planet do you live on?

[jrzgirl56]

Schools Stadium, many memories there. That was the staging ground for the National Guard. This is my old neighborhood. I remember the 1967 riots. I was 11 yrs old at the time, and believe me it was trying time. We could not leave the city and no one could enter it. A lot of police presence, and there was a tank (no lie) parked at the end of our block. The summer of '67 was one that I will never forget.

[FrAnKyKrAzY13]

wow look at newark back then my grandparents were soilders for anythony imperiale he was trying to keep the riots out of the north ward n all the italians stood on there stoops n in the street n if anyone who didnt belong in that area aka blacks at the time the italians were gonna kill u they deff held down the north ward in 67

[eshockey27]

newark used to be white and the blacks invaded

[DJ4Less]

[icanstopthat]

ii know

[Joesavana]

I thought that music sounded familiar!

[frambesbuckeye]

[Obama26]

Fuck those punk azz racist troops. That just simply hurt african americans for no reason. Especially those who hurt innocent people in the riots

[wkat950]

The Guardsmen had old vehicles. Note the WWII vintage heavy trucks. They had this and that left over from Korea. We've done better with equipping the Guard.

[pannoni1]

The Detroit riots happened that same month. Honestly, the effects of 1967 still continue to this day. In the sixties, you had hippies. Today, you have Hipsters-people who believe about NOTHING.

[phagola]

It took almost 30 years for a supermarket to open in EWR. For a city that size, that's absurd. That was in 95 or so.

[gilbertd2174]

@phagola

if your tLKING ABOUT NEWARK, THATS NOT TRUE

[phagola]

I was speaking of the Central Ward, where the riots were. it may have been closer to '90, but it's true. The Pathmark by UMDJ, first one since riots

[element20008]

what? 'white' newark?

[bdicat]

The 66 riots, I was ten years old, had gas filled bottles with rags hanging out of them for protection. Enter, Tony Imparale. I remember he was driving a tank. I don't know when this was but my riots were in 66

[steveygee1]

they have to spoil it for everyone don't they

[NwrksBigBoss]

Newark is still suffering from the effects of this 40 years later.

[rudeboywhitey]

Look at all those Italian people...they wanna know whats goin on. "Hey Pal whats ehhh goin on there?"

[RealLA969]

PATERSON ARABIAN TALIBAN

[Joesavana]

your right!

the music is just filler. it's best to put in

your own.

js

[yankeedoodlecajun]

Dude, as a Newark native, I have to ask ... what's with the fucking MJQ jazzy music intro ... I mean, your playing music fit for a game show along with video of one of our country's darkest days. Does the word "context" mean anything to you. Jesus!

[KoolKrew]

I was born in 67 but not in Newark,but i remember that stadium well playing Legion and Summer league games there in 82. At that age it was like playing in a big time stadium. Great memories.

[punkhardrockmetalfan]

to those two assholes beneath backspace 07304, fuck you you racist pile of cow shit.

[Y2ANJ]

Hard to believe all that happened in the Stadium I use to go and play in as a kid. The riots really destroyed the city and to this day Newark is still struggling to recover. For all of those glorifying what happened talking about "rebellion" try living in the city for 17 years in the aftermath of it. Everyone lost as a result of the riots.

[backspace07304]

So what!!! BORING. I was there. Show what happened outside the stadium. That's the history.

[jhecht78]

you're right fuck the niggers!!!!!!!

[veronesedissident]

Round them up and deport them back to the Congo!!

[youfugazy]

What Stadium is that Barenger?

[Joesavana]

it's newark schools stadium on bloomfield ave and roseville. i hear it will be demolished in the future. what a shame!

[shortyblackwell]

they already took the walls down. I used to go to First Ave. School which was right behind it.

[Y2ANJ]

Oh wow, I had no idea about that. I use to go to St. Francis Xavier and we'd have our "field days" over there.

[DuDezInBoredom]

@Joesavana and it has lol but the new one looks amazeing

[youfugazy]

My Fam didnt get to newark till the 50s from italy no slaves from my fam.. i was born in newark rased in newark wouldnt take it back for anything alot of great people came out of our city and ya it has its problems like any other city.... from what i seen it was a great city with alot of race problems.i never had a problem with race growing up in newark being the only italian on my street and im greatfull i made alot of good friends. Its just sad to see but i hope newark can get better...

[Joesavana]

yes it is!

add your own track.

[Matwpc]

you are misled. Most of the Crime is not committed by blacks, but they still do time. The black pop is under 20% so how could it. A lot of blacks are in prison because we have not been able to let go of the chains that tied us down during 400 years of slavery. We are doind better though. Just think less than 100 years ago your great grandfather had slaves. Now he's dead and gone and we are. most of us are somewhat free. It's get better.

[DrowOne]

my fam lived thru the riots...the brikks has only gotten worse since then. All the fighting n "striking back" only made it worse. its a big "dont bite the hand that feeds ya" type thing i guess.

[SamIAm1600]

No, you are retarded. It was the rioters, a lot of the cops and the troops that destroyed Newark, it wasn't a particular race that did it you moron. Yes, I agree with you that there are crimes everywhere, esp. in big cities, and there are jerks and there are nice, decent people in every race or group. Remember that, oh, I forgot, you are an idiot, blaming a race for these mistakes. Wise up.

[Dazestr]

It's pretty obvious that your not familiar with your history...& its really no point on arguing with a non intellectual idiot

[SamIAm1600]

You are a stupid moron. You are the SCORN of your race and decent people. Stop this hate speech you bastard. Grow up retard. Fuck you.

[sz42781]

what stadium was that

[taboogie]

wtf do u mean "lost to the dark race?"

[Omnious24]

40 years and Newark has yet to fully recover.

[adelgado75]

And when the crooks got there hands on Newark they allowed it to decline rather than making it stronger. I have walked around Newark and have seen the ghosts of Newark past; The Newark Paramount, S. Klein Dept. store, empty office buildings. Downtown Newark is a miracle waiting to happen. Will it ever happen, though? Perhaps 'some' people don't want Booker to succeed.

[Mojave333]

shame, shame, shame, this didn't have to happen. life stinks sometimes. it breaks my heart that things like this has happened, esp. when innocent people die, some of the victims were elderly women and even children. how can they do such a despicable thing? I will never understand, anyway, peace to everyone.

[ncmoonshine]

with the juneteenth riots and threatened LA riots for 07-08 , it looks like more of an opportunists riot than an oppressed riot these days. back in the sixties , people may have felt like they had reason , now people look for a reason.

[fraedo]

Twelve million renovations are planned. It will be restored to it's prior glory.

[rblaster]

It's really cool that you found and posted this. My family history (past and recent) revolves around Newark. It's kind of weird that I was here watching both of your newark videos last night, and then tonight, I saw footage on the nightly New Jersey Network newscast about the riots/rebellion 40 years ago today using some of this film of yours. How did they find out about it and go about getting your permission, if you don't mind my asking? - Rich

[look9989]

Rebellion...not a riot...

[gxl184]

your right it wasnt a riot..people (animals) destroying their own neighborhood...STUPIDITY..

[Dazestr]

I guess black ppl destroy there neighborhoods while the white ppl destory the world so thank Bush and the CIA

[knotagain]

Interesting video. Right now I am reading "No Cause for Indictment" about the Newark riot precursor activity and The Star-Ledger series on the 40th year since 1967. Do you know the location of Schools Stadium?

[Joesavana]

the stadium is on bloomfield ave by roseville ave.

i hear they are going to demolish the place. what a shame.. i remember the 4th of july shows and fireworks when i was a kid.

js

[lousurf]

I remember it was like a record breaking 105 degrees.....

[azintp]

why do they have to blame everything on everyone else. they destroyed newark. it is still a shit-hole.

[Crippled99]

home sweet home

[boazrg]

I remember this like it was last week. It was the beginning of the end for any cooperation between the races, and just as things were improving too. The blacks still don't know how much they pissed people off with the riots in Newark, Detroit, etc. The heavy-handed cops were also to blame. It's sad - it did not have to happen.

[daybluedog]

Yep. 1967 was the year everyone stopped being an American. From that point on, we were then called "Afro-Americans and Italian Americans." The mayor of Newark was a crook, the cops were off the hook, but since this Negro revolution, Newark remains in the capabale hands that burned the place down.

[partisan77nj]

that sucked. you suck.

[laurensadriaanse]

the newark riots were in july of 1967

[Joesavana]

you are absolutely right.. the riots where in the summer of 1967.

i stand corrected.

joesavana

[laurensadriaanse]

it is a very nice video love the old italians looking on. they must be thinking what the hell is going on

[Brown70Films]

Thanks for the look into a time. Much Respect.
