Sorry to sound racist, but as a whole certain races do increase crime and drag down the standard of living, and it's not because of racist old whitey either. |

I WAS LOOKING AT THE 1950 STATS. It wasn't the fact that it was a white city then because it actually wasn't nor has it ever been really. It was because there was an incredible amount of work in the city due to may factories being up and running. Campbells soup is really the only big operation left from those days. The factories all closed up, got bought out, merged with someone else or just died off and nothing replaced them. That combined with the Philadelphia mafia dumping tons of drugs in the city and you have what you have decades later. Learn your facts before you make it a race thing dum dum. |

Quoting: SaltWaterTaffyThe only reason for anyone to stay in Camden is because they have a job there. If you don't, it's time to leave. Everyone dies, but not everyone lives. :moranrico::Rico::moranrico: |

I spent two summers in Camden in HS doing community service and I can't imagine a place more beat down. Back then there were a few good citizens - seniors - I'm sure they are dead now. I feel bad for Pennsauken, South Orange ... all the neighboring cities as well. :SWT name: When the shit hits the fan and the end is quite nigh, will you cry out to heaven? Will you lay down and die?

Grow up kid. You are totally right. Camden is so stuck in cyclical poverty and crime. The people who live there don't have grocery stores or banks. OR cars. Holes open up in the roads and no one even puts up a cone. The people who go there to buy drugs are not black. Our Lady of Lourdes is a wonderful hospital. St. Joseph's always did great work. It's a shame we can't take care of this teeny city - it's got such a small footprint.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1084931 United States 12/03/2010 11:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm from Newark (Ironbound) and the place has turned into a shithole once again. Believe it or not, Newark was the place to go, after hours, back in the 40's and 50's. It was the 3rd largest seaport, founded in 1666. Camden, like planet of the apes. Sadly, black women got rooked and had to be strong after the scam the government pulled on them in the 60's with affirmative action and welfare. It made it so that it was better for their community not to be married to reap the benefits and it just broke up the family unit and community further. Then you have the Jew scumlord landlords who keep them there. Sad that there were no strong black leaders to buy all of that prime real estate (Detroit, Camden, Newark, etc.) and turn it around buy taking advantage of all of the programs that were supposedly in place for the disadvantaged and minorities. Kick the Jews out and make it a Black Utopia. I think Bill Cosby had much to say about his own, as have many others... but then, they can all drop the N word all they want to make their point. Howard Stern often went off on this hypocracy. |

Almost all white. Black men are just more aggressive then white men and don't seem to have any problem with using violence at the drop of a hat, and it's more of a cultural thing, since not all blacks act like this, it's just the way the ghetto, rap culture is. |
