Insult is perhaps too generous a term considering how one of the riot's chief anti-Semitic instigators, the Rev. Al Sharpton, has managed to become a respectable member of the Liberal Élite and one of the most influential Democratic power brokers in New York City and beyond.

During the Crown Heights Porgom and until today,leftist journalists, politicians, and community leaders have downplayed the violence and the incitement by Al Sharpton and other leftist politicians and community leaders. Jewish blood is cheaper than leftist causes.
