You are the one being disingenuous. In the comment I initially replied to, you said every documented incident, not every conviction.

I have provided a report by an org that shares your point of view that still demonstrates your comment is full of shit.

The point you’re now harping on, so that you can back track, that the rare cases where they actually get convicted they are usually black, doesn’t really mean anything.

Let me ignore for a moment that you’re pretending that you aren’t a more chronic reddit user than myself…

Not even the report by Dov Hikind’s org (who has had a demonstrated agenda pushing for racial profiling measures) dares to claim that almost all antisemitic attacks are by black people.

So where are reading all of these convictions where every single one is a black person?

White people should be able to take a joke about bland food imo. The real reason this tweet sucks is because it’s begging for disinvestment instead of proposing a responsible middle ground between NIMBYism and YIMBYism that embraces New Urbanism while protecting long term residents

Living without a car doesn’t mean just having one bus route in town if your office building is off a highway, or if you need to take a long bus ride or cross dangerous intersections for every grocery or laundry haul

While we do have better transit than most states, most of NJ still isn’t very livable without a car, at least compared to just living in a decent neighborhood in a dense major city

Their best bet is probably looking in Hudson county first since it’s the highest density and has better walkability in most parts

I was just surprised no one else pointed out that you have some flexibility with that price range at least up here in NNJ. Most cities in NJ that have a large rental stock should have some apartments in that range.

So I’d look for cities you would want to move to and see what you can find. I think you’d have some options pretty much all over Hudson, Essex, and some of Union and Bergen counties despite these generally being the less affordable ones

I’m confused, are cities off the table, or are you just looking for small towns? Because with that price range you could possibly find an older apartment in places like downtown Jersey City, downtown Newark, Hoboken for ~2k or possibly less and you’d be less bored

Or cultural participation. I would need way more context about both the cultural practice and the planning of this event to be able to have a clue whether this is cultural appropriation. Just looking at a picture of someone participating in another group’s cultural event is not enough.

Especially as a white person, it would be naive if I just started looking up pictures of people participating in cultures that I don’t know anything about and claiming that appropriation is happening. Context is important.

Edit: according to that article, this is literally an educational event intended to spread awareness. So I’m leaning towards this probably not being appropriation until I see a good reason to think otherwise.
