I find this prevalent in groups of individuals, who have an agenda, guised as something else. I have not lived in this country, ignorant of bigotry and racism, as I've seen in the state of NJ, in the 36 years, I've lived here, in Monmouth County. I've seen it in the schools, employment and just in daily living, where I'm reminded constantly, that I don't matter and I don't count, but it's okay, for nearly every male in my family to serve in the military, then be "profiled", when walking, driving, or just "being". Ask any Black man, that walks into a room, filled with another race. No, I don't have a "chip" on my shoulder; it's just a fact of life, to be of another hue and treated like a "second-classed", citizen. Just look at the schools, here. Mostly Black and brown. The kids are "under-served", while enormous amounts of money is expended on a "lost" cause. Blacks are, "herded", on the West-Side, that looked like a "bombed-out", remnant, from the "Blitz", in London! Public housing, sub-standard housing, vermin and rat-infested housing, while rents are jacked up to receive "Section-8", funds, from the Federal Government. While Blacks are 90% or close to it in this town, they are under-represented and a "bone" is thrown at them, every once in a while. While the City is Gay-Tolerant, it isn't too much else! Where are the jobs? Where's the education? In the toilet, that's where! Okay, blame the parents, but what happened to THEIR, opportunity? There ISN'T, any! No training programs, no connecting transportation, for a population, that don't own autos, in a commuter state! Ridiculous! Where the real industry, was placed in suburbia and the malls, only offer minimum wage jobs. An influx of illegal immigrants, that the Police and City Officials, seem to avoid, because it is the Federal Governments' job, to enforce immigration! Where the jails, are filled to capacity, with OUR "fruit"; men and women of child-bearing age, locked up for drugs, theft, etc., where they are doomed to wind up back in jail, a method of keeping voting down, because they are disenfranchised from voting, while prisoners in other northern states, are permitted to vote, even while incarcerated. NJ and AP, are microcosms, of an overwhelming system, devised to keep people of color, in check, so when I hear of individuals, bent on keeping one segment of society, OUT of the system, of the "land of the free and home of the brave", while practicing a form of "apartheid", I get suspicious. When a council, files a "friend of the court", in matters, NONE of their business, it is an attempt, to "muzzle", something! Okay, keep the Mission OUT of Asbury, then when a homeless person, pops up dead, I'll say, "I told you so", all you so-called Christians, OUT there! Would you turn Jesus, away, too? > --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "2fine4u" <sharon_b283@> wrote: > > > > Werner, > > I agree with YOUR post, completely!

Not being a part of this group, I wouldn't know, so if there are other races, they are just as bad! > > Neither might I add does socio-economic status.
