The one bright side of ignorant ass posts like this is it keeps stuck-up white folks out of Newark. Let’s keep it that way because we are building our Black & Brown city up beautifully right now and if people are too bougie to appreciate it then so be it. Y’all can move to JC and Hoboken while we have all the soul right here in Brick City.

Is there something wrong with Newark ? I like your art but you could’ve just posted it without being classist and anti-Black lol. And I know y’all gone be mad at me for calling it out but it is what it is. Newark is a beautiful city. Camden hasn’t received the funds or energy to be rebuilt however. But neither deserve to be thrown under the bus just to aggrandize your art.

The houses criticized were the Forest Hill ones you mean ? Or the Newark row homes ? Cause the Newark ones are lovely to me, surprising anyone would speak low of them. They aren’t as grandiose as the cities you mentioned but definitely have that small Jersey charm to them.
