Wllingboro New Jersey. This book gets a one star because the author failed to mention a few pertinent facts. To elaborate, before and after 1688,before that area was called Willingboro or Levittown or Wellingsborough, it was Timbuktoo. Timbuktoo was a refuge for kidnapped Africans and red men who managed to escape the torture that europeans inflicted upon the races of beautiful hues in those days. The Africans went into the woods of Willingboro and the surrounding areas and built a Marroon type society of splendid granduer. Timbuktoo was actually according to old maps of a few tribes of red men, an area encompassing a good portion of what is called today Burlington County New Jersey. Africans coming from down south would risk their lives fighting to get along the underground railroad to dwell in the only place in all of america named after a legendary African city, Timbuktoo.The proof of this is in the fact that in Westampton New Jersey, a town that borders Willingboro and a Native American reservation, there is a cemetary where Black soldiers lie, and the signs explain in detail, that these Black men were from Timbuktoo. And if you call the Burlington County Historical society they have pamphlets that explain the history of Timbuktoo, the major rebel "slave" haven on the east coast of america. Timbuktoo became famous because at some point some europeans from down south came to Timbuktoo to once again kidnap more innocent people, to drink the blood of the blameless, and the mighty men of Timbuktoo would have no more of it... so they picked up their guns and gave the kidnappers a taste of what they were looking for, they gave them a blood-bath, they gave them war. In the end the men of Timbuktoo were forced to relocate from Timbuktoo or die fighting. Some stayed and fought long and hard, some refused to escape along the underground railroad but most simply moved on up to New York or Canada.
Today Timbuktoo, called Willingboro by europeans, is once again predominantly Black African. And the warrior spirit is still very much alive.The police in this suburban town have much more technology and funding than most suburban towns, like Sicklerville for example, and the police use this funding to be as brutal as ever to the majority of town. The Willingboro police department in a fews years time have beat young men, they have killed young people, they have even shot a young man to death at a Church in that town! Church officials say that the willingboro police murdered the young man at church so they could complete their evil satanic ritual by spilling the blood of the innocent on the house of almighty god! Then they went even more sadistic and shot a young child at school, traumatizing hundreds of children. The racist and corrupt police there lie to send innocent men to prison, racial profiling is law in that town and its only getting worse.They try to blame the poorer minority areas of that town but even in the bourgousie parts of town where the rich people lay beyond the hills, even wealthy non-black people have been shot by other wealthy non black people for who knows why, in one of the rich areas thats happened in the last few years.So theres no easy scapegoat. But its a fact that if some of willingboros funds go back into the community to give the kids something to do so they would be off the streets; as opposed to funding police with more batons to beat the people, or more mace to spray into the eyes of the people, maybe there wouldnt be the influx of gangbangers there now. Streets are filled with gangbangers, muslim gangs, neighborhood gangs, white supremacists groups and now bloods and krips in red or blue cars and trucks, with red or blue bandanas on, 30 at a time fist fighting at the supermarket. Banks have been robbed almost every month in Willingboro in 2008 and there are daily shootings and robberies and house invasions that rarely make it into the paper. Much like how rich people deal with places they dont like, like Haiti for example, Willingboro will always be purposefully ignored and politically corrupt.Until it goes back to its roots...the roots of being a natural agrarian town governed by good humane people. Until then, while Timbuktoo is occupied by the rich and racist, as the violent murder that occured in Willingboro earlier this year proves, it will get more violent and it will stay uncontrollable....as uncontrollable as Timbuktoo always was..Timbuktoo, the first and only city in america to be named after an African city.
