Ras Baraka welcomes Bill Cosby to Seth Boyden Housing Projects

[60firm]

People do change, yea. Lance MacDaniel gave up his right to change. We may no longer occupy Newark or Seth Boyden, but Lance's crimes are fresh in our memories.

Always will be.......

I grew up in Seth Boyden Housing Projects when it was a whole different place. This was during the 1950's and the 1960's. There were people from all over the world lived there. Mostly Italians and Jews. The neighborhood was a great place to grow up in. There was violence, but not like now. Note, about 20% of the neighborhood was African American then. For the most part, people got along. There was crime, a few addicts here and there. It really has changed!

Newark is a shithole, and the newark anti-violence coalition are nothing but stereotypes

I grew up here and No matter what you tell them damn kids, they look up to the waynes, Jeezys and Gucci rather than Jesse Jackson, & Barack Obama
