was inherited from Sharpe James, the former mayor who is now in jail. I grew up in the Newark area and follow this closely. Sharpe James had setup a 20 year old political fifedom that was designed to pay homage to him. Booker has torn all of that up, fired many political cronies, and has put the citizens of Newark first. The whole political structure in that city hated him because of it. He has even won them over and continues to do an excellent job. Maybe YOU should check your facts Mr. racist bobo before deflecting your racist attitudes.
