You're way out of line on the Crown Heights comment. Explain please how Sharpton was involved. Al's a buffoon and a racist when it suits his purpose. His history is replete with self-serving ugliness. But if we want to be seen as being honest we have to give credit where it is due. When he was stabbed he did not call for any action by anybody in response. He in fact called right away for quiet.<<

Sorry but you are mixing two different things. Sharpton was inciting against Jews in Crown Heights after a young Black kid died in an auto accident where a religious Jew was driving. At the height of that incitement Yankel Rosenbaum was stabbed by a group of rampaging Black youth who were later acquitted in a race baiting trial. This was all totally unrelated to Sharpton being stabbed but had Sharpton's grimy finger prints and big mouth all ove it.

No. You are wrong.

Yankel was killed at the very beginning of the incident. A child (I'll bet you don't know his name without looking it up) was killed in an accident after being struck by a vehicle driven by a Hasidim. The gathering crowd was incited by a guy named Price (now serving 20 years) to get the Jews. Yankel was wrong place wrong time. Limrick Nelson (now in prison) stabbed him fatally. This happened within hours after the original incident. Sharpton had nothing at all to do with it.

As I wrote, Al is a buffoon and a racist but give him his due when he behaves properly (calling for quiet after he was stabbed). Dropping every racial incident in NY at his feet just because it makes you feel good isn't honest, and we should do our best to be honest.
