PC friday question of the day.

Google will likely not give you the accurate info. You will read about "tensions" and about a "clash between Hasidim and African Americans" - none of that is accurate.

Where will I get an accurate view, from members here?

Why ever not. Some here lived through it.

Most would not be objective, human nature.

If I remember correctly, kool aid doesn’t just come in red flavor, and it affects views on all areas of life and is not limited to politics.... 
I’d really write more in length, but I’m on a chol Hamoed trip with my family and my wife wants me off the phone....

Indeed. And even involved in protecting "Lifsh" back then.

Kindly explain how can one objectively explain rioting against Jews as a response to a terrible accident.

BTW, the antisemitic attacks started at the scene of the accident, where Hatzolah came and wanted to render medical assistance to the injured black children, but were sent away by policy due to the antisemitic atmosphere on the scene.

Kool-Aid comes in all flavors. You have to have the self-control to leave that out of this discussion.

Just trying to explain why your missing what we’re all saying

That is possible but it could also be you are missing what I am saying?
We can continue later. Put your phone away.

The Crown Heights riots were a modern day pogrom incited by Al Sharpton and his kind in response to a tragic car accident that was caused by a Jewish driver. No sugar coating. Every pogrom needed an excuse to start. This was as @ExGingi says, the result of class warfare rhetoric.

I had to look up pogrom to make sure I had it correct.
Is this the how you meant to use it: an organized massacre of a particular ethnic group

That idiot was so full of himself, thanks to some efforts, no-one ever managed to get a photo of "Lifsh" (going out of the court building from the Grand Jury appearance, I was the designated as the decoy for him, the media were all so convinced that that I was him and tried to chase us for a photo, which they didn't succeed in getting, while he was able to calmly walk out of the building several minutes later when they were all gone) and he pompously announced that he would fly to Israel to personally hand a civil lawsuit (never mind that "Lifsh" was in Brooklyn at the time). He flew to TLV and arrived on Erev Yom Kippur, only to catch the first flight out, or else he would be stuck there for the 25 or 26 hours that the airport is closed.

Its called “first hand account”

A pogrom is where the Masses violently turn against the Jews while the people in charge of law and order turn a blind eye. That is EXACTLY what happened in Crown Heights back then. I don't recall the exact timeline, but there was a significant delay between the beginning of riots and the time the NYPD took action to stop them.

The report said differently about turning a blind eye, no?

Ask yourself how you had no idea that people you interact with here on a daily basis had to hide in their basements as violent mobs broke their windows and screamed "kill all the Jews", and while the mayor of New York ordered police to stand down and "let them vent".

It has been explain to me over and over again that Jews looks at each other as family members, no?

This is objective by your standards as well

Never mind how Jews look at each other. Survivors could tell you what they lived through.

You really think that is fair when I have no idea what you are talking about. Why should I have any respect for someone who does that?
