Nothing bizarre. City of Newark is den of nepotism. Most likely one of Baraka’s not so bright minions though it would be a good way to impress the boss. Turned out to be a bad move. Doesn’t matter though, it’s not like accountability is a thing at city hall😂

Also, like I pointed out earlier, no big loss; it’s a minor PR blunder that will blow over soon enough.

Wym by Spanish people wanna level up ? As in have a bigger role in the city’s name / culture ? They already have entire wards essentially catered to them. No shade cause I live in one anyway but yeah.

I remember seeing it on the sub, going "damn that's crazy", and then forgetting about it.

Someone "close to the situation" said that this was Ras's idea, but idk.

Regardless, it was a good intention by him. I think he wants a more unified & diverse Newark but is having a hard time getting there // surrounding himself with people that want the same.

Many people in his administration suck.

Anyways, he's moderating the panel tomorrow on black and brown relations since lots of Spanish people feel like it's their time to level up and become big bro, and that's dividing the city.

I'm sure there's foolishness on our side too, but I'm only hearing about Spanish kids bullying // being racist towards black kids since I'm on this side of the aisle.

Shit was posted on Reddit as soon as it happened. The fucking news outlets had their story then if they were decent at their job. Why are they saying it was reported halfway around the world first?
