NYC Politician Blames ‘Jewish Success’ for ‘Knock-Out’ Attacks
National Review ^ | December 5, 2013 | Andrew Johnson

Posted on 12/05/2013 4:00:21 PM PST by grundle

Amid an array of “knock-out” attacks against a number of Jews in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood, a city councilwoman pointed to the success of the Jewish community as triggering the aggression. Councilwoman-elect Laurie Cumbo emphasized that while she “admire[s] the Jewish community immensely” for its work ethic, black teens may see it differently.

“While I personally regard this level of tenacity, I also recognize that for others, the accomplishments of the Jewish community triggers feelings of resentment, and a sense that Jewish success is not also their success,” Cumbo, who was recently elected, wrote in a letter. Chief among the issues causing resentement against Jews could stem from hostility towards Jewish landlords, she added. Cumbo, who is black, said that she was looking to “offer possible insight as to how young African American/Caribbean teens” think and how it can lead to the attacks.

Cumbo expressed concern over the attacks and supported investigations and legal actions against perpetrators.

Jews were to a large extent the backbone and the brains of the 1960’s civil rights movement. They marched, bled, were jailed and murdered fighting for the rights of blacks.

- There are high number of “alleged” humans on this planet that have a brain that is 15% smaller that most so-called “modern human primates”

- Col. Allen West must be an exception as his IQ soars.

- This sub-human woman is no exception - Her tank will not fillith up.

- You cannot put 100 pounds of anything in an 85 pound capacity bag.
