NYC Councilwoman-elect blames “knockout game” on FEAR OF JEWS

You’d think NYC Councilwoman-elect Laurie Cumbo was an Arab living in Palestine the way this reads:

DNA INFO – 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.”

Wow. Looks like Crown Heights elected themselves a racist councilwoman. And if her statement is true, they are probably OK with that.

Where can the Jewish people go where they aren’t feared and hated?
