Martin Luther didn’t pull his anti-Semitism out of thin air. The Catholics of his time (remember, he was a German monk, Catholic priest and professor of theology before he split with the church) were plenty anti-Semitic.

I wondered if I had mis-remembered this (never having been to New York), earlier, so I looked it up on google/ Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Heights,_Brooklyn

What does she mean “the growth of the Jewish community”?

“During the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s, many middle class Jews lived in Crown Heights. In 1950, the neighborhood was 89 percent white, with a small but growing black population. Some 50- 60 percent of the white population, about 75,000 people, were Jewish. By 1957, there were about 25,000 blacks in Crown Heights, about one fourth of the population.”

This isn’t the first time there’s been a racial/ ethnic conflict either. (Which maybe why I remembered that Crown Heights was primarily, a Jewish neighborhood) There were problems in the 60s & 70s and a riot in 1991.

I really get sick of the left trying to re-write history.

I dont disagree and that’s really not the point.
