Of gun ownership is among Black Americans - been trending since 2020.

Money Going out of state - Yeah. We resent that Black Working Class New Jerseyans have to hand over our money to people who call us N-Bombs in Arkansas and West VA. They are just spending it on meth anyways.

Black Democratic members in Hunterdon County NJ are fed up with heroin addicts overdosing like it's something new.

Now that it's Opioids and white folks we have to Molly coddle them. Im 52. Im old enough to remember crack.and how when it was Black folks it was a character issue.

Privacy - Excuse me. When did my party start wanting the government in our bedrooms?

So tell me - what part is Republican? The part where working class Black folks in NJ see their state get the least back from Fed Gov?
