Councilwoman Laurie Cumbo
Brooklyn Councilwoman Laurie Cumbo blamed the recent ‘knockout game’ attacks in her district on the growth and succsess of the Jewish Community. In a Facebook post she says, “Many of her black constituents told her they feel threatened by the growth of the neighborhood’s Jewish community.”
DNA Info reported:
The alleged “knockout” attacks on Jewish residents of Crown Heights may stem from ongoing racial tension between the neighborhood’s black and Jewish communities, a newly-elected Brooklyn politician said.
Councilwoman-elect Laurie Cumbo, who was elected to represent Crown Heights starting in January, released an open letter Tuesday saying that many of her black constituents told her they feel threatened by the growth of the neighborhood’s Jewish community — and she fears the tension could be spiking the recent violence.
“Many African American/Caribbean residents expressed a genuine concern that as the Jewish community continues to grow, they would be pushed out by their Jewish landlords or by Jewish families looking to purchase homes,” Cumbo wrote in the 1,200-word letter, which was emailed to supporters and posted on her Facebook page.
“I respect and appreciate the Jewish community’s family values and unity that has led to strong political, economic and cultural gains. 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.”
She added that these sentiments among black Crown Heights residents “offer possible insight as to how young African American/Caribbean teens could conceivably commit a ‘hate crime’ against a community that they know very little about.”
That’s it. It’s the Jews’ fault.
Work ethic/success. Envy plain and simple.
WOW, looks like the unity between these two different fractions or Demographic groups of libs lasted just past Obama’s re-election, now they are at each others throats.
I bet Stop and Frisk is where they part.
Maybe they will learn that gun control doesnt keep them safe after all. Or maybe not,
SEIU is purple and AFSCME is green, but the monochromatic theme is familiar, as it was with the Obama campaign.
Blacks, as a group, don’t get along with anybody.
Just not a good person.
This is a major part of the reason that the country of Israel is so resented in the Middle East - highlights the fact that all the Arab countries are shtholes.
Envy of the success, but also shame at their own comparative failure.
So, what this race hustler is saying is blacks feel threatened by the success of others to the point they go feral.
Meanwhile, O'D*ckhead is over in DC stirring up the masses about "income inequality."
Blacks have pushed whites out of solid white city neighborhoods ever since the 1950s. Some whites were headed to the suburbs anyways for more elbow room. But is there some law that says that whites can not move into a black neighborhood, pay more at prices blacks cannot afford. So the blacks have to move and find less expensive housing?
This is happening in a huge way in Washington DC. The white population of DC is increasing as it is gentrifying black neighborhoods. Damn racist Federal workers!!!
That is likely already a “Policy Agenda Discussion Item” in her “To Do” list.
“And how many Crown Heights Jews voted for this Democrat?”
Yeah, how about that? Because standing right alongside Obama are a whole flock of SP Jews.
We laugh, but I wouldn’t bet the farm that it isn’t, would you?
Who said I am laughing? The Anti-Semitism of the Left becomes more blatant by the day.
Crazy bitch..Just like the other black fool women who get a little power.and the only way they can get reelected is by blaming everyone but the thug blacks for the crimes..
No doubt. She’ll still keep mouthing off about the Jews in her neighborhood. I guess she wants the place to resemble Chi-Congo.
“This is happening in a huge way in Washington DC. The white population of DC is increasing as it is gentrifying black neighborhoods.”
Well, this is the reverse of what happened in DC (and other major cities) when the SCOTUS “desegregated” the pubic screwls. DC became a “chocolate city” virtually over night as the whites fled to areas where their kids could get a decent education. But you are right. We see it here in the SF Bay Area. All the “city housing” in Hunter’s Point is gone, and with it most of the Blacks who made it their home (and a ghetto). Now developers are building new, expensive places for people with money to live. It’s economics trumping socialism. The city is willing to “sacrifice the blacks” for the sake of the tax base. I guess that’s what’s happening in DC.
Somebody needs to swap the language, then send it as a letter to the editor.
See if it gets printed.
