Black, Jewish Tension Rises Again In Crown Heights

NEW YORK (CBS) ― Police are mobilizing a massive presence in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn in the wake of increased tension between black and Jewish communities.

Leaders from both communities have come together recently to preach cooperation among residents of the neighborhood where blacks and Hassidic Jews live side by side. But recent violence has showed that religion and race don't always mix.

"I definitely feel [like there's unrest] because I see it everyday. I'm around here a lot and that's what I'm hearing," said Crown Heights resident Anthony Rios.

Another resident, Joe Morgenstein, agreed, saying he hears "a lot of racial slurs all day" in the community.

Since 1991, when riots broke out after a 7-year-old black boy was killed by a Hassidic driver, Crown Heights has been hurt off-and-on by periodic tension. In the past month, 20-year-old Andrew Charles, who is black, was beaten up, and the suspect is Jewish.

I guess Jews are technically white, but are often considered a minority

BTW, many Jews would disagree.

I recall from hearing the story years back that an ambulance came for the Jewish motorist and left the black kid.

FDNY EMS and Hatzoloh ambulances came to the scene at the same time. FDNY took care of the kids and the police told Hatzoloh to get the Jewish driver out of there because of the mob.

The article you cite is from The Jewish Forward, so obviously they're going to bias it that way.

Actually The Forward is a ferociously anti-religious rag, they will bias anything against the Hasidics.

I assume that's a journalist, but I don't know who it is.

Nice looking guy.

Yaphet Kotto. He’s Black, Jewish, and a Republican, too.

Gosh, I do know who he is.

Black I could figure out, Jewish and Republican I didn't know.

He is clearly last in line for an ambulance.

...when riots broke out after a 7-year-old black boy was killed by a Hassidic driver.

That incident was a tragic automobile accident. Almost as if on cue, the jerk writing the story for CBS omitted that essential fact. Also omitted was that a another Hassidic man - not involved at all in that accident - was killed in the aftermath by a black mugger after Al Sharpton (the very same Sharpton who today is a widely respected "leader" in the national Democratic party and a TV personality) incited rioting with publicly aired antisemitic comments.

Excuse me but what does your account (not that it is accurate) have to do with the killing of Yankel Rosenbaum who was nowhere near the scene of the accident?

What does that hve to do with the uncurbed riots and crime that the Dinkins administration allowed to rage - black on Jew violence - for days?

And your account of the police is wrong too. The police have refused to call the latest incident anti-Semitism. News reports I have heard (Channel 11) referred to the prior incident thus: “A Jewish man killed a black child.” They did not even say it was a car accident.

Is your high estimation of the MSM applicable to Conservative issues as well?

You ended your excerpt from Wikipedia without mentioning the fact that another Hasidic man, Yankel Rosenbaum, was beaten and then stabbed to death in the ensuing rioting. (Please see post # 11.)

I was asking because that’s what I heard about it. Everybody here seems very fast to jump to the worst opinion of me. Also, I said “PC police” - I wasn’t referring to the actual police. I was referring the sticklers for political correctness, who are omnipresent in the MSM.

Yeah, I remember that too. Dinkens ordered the police not to act against the rioting blacks. Assaults and murders on the Jewish community in Crown Heights, Committed by blacks were commonoplace. Back in the 70s it was a real free for all..

Intro: this is a song, that uh, theres alot of xmas songs out there, but not
Too many about hanukkah, so I wrote a song for all those nice little jewish
Kids who dont get to hear any hanukkah songs—here we go...

Put on your yalmulka, here comes hanukkah
Its so much fun-akkah to celebrate hanukkah,

Hanukkah is the festival of lights,
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights.

When you feel like the only kid in town without a x-mas tree, heres a list of
People who are jewish, just like you and me:

David lee roth lights the menorrah,
So do james caan, kirk douglas, and the late dinah shore-ah

Guess who eats together at the karnickey deli,
Bowzer from sha-na-na, and arthur fonzerrelli.

Paul newmans half jewish; goldie hawns half too,
Put them together—what a fine lookin jew!

You dont need deck the halls or jingle bell rock
Cause you can spin the dreidl with captain kirk and mr. spock—both jewish!

Put on your yalmulka, its time for hanukkah,
The owner of the seattle super sonic-ahs celebrates hanukkah.

O.j. simpson— not a jew!
But guess who is...hall of famerrod carew—(he converted!)

We got ann landers and her sister dear abby,
Harrison fords a quarter jewish—not too shabby!

Some people think that ebeneezer scrooge is,
Well, hes not, but guess who is:all three stooges.

So many jews are in show biz—
Tom cruise isnt, but I heard his agent is.

Tell your friend veronica, its time you celebrate hanukkah
I hope I get a harmonica, on this lovely, lovely hanukkah.

So drink your gin-and-tonic-ah, and smoke your mara-juanic-ah,
If you really, really wanna-kah, have a happy, happy, happy, happy
Hanukkah. happy hanukka!
