Cunningham Issues Statement on the Harassment of Tameka Bordeaux

Trenton – Senator Sandra Cunningham issued the following statement in response to the social media video circulating of Bayonne resident Tameka Bordeaux being harassed by her neighbor while walking down the street:

“It is horrible to wake up this morning to this appalling video of Tameka Bordeaux being harassed as she walked down her block. As a Black woman, it is beyond sad and frustrating to have to still listen to this kind of shameful and offensive language as we embark on a new year. I know in my heart that the majority of humanity does not want hatred to be our way of life. I want to emphasize that in this particular situation, this is the ignorance of one racist woman and we cannot say her behavior represents the opinion of an entire city or racial group. Unequivocally, we must stand together to condemn racism, discrimination, and all acts of hatred.”
