Words matter?

You asked if its been like this and just publicized. It has been this way since then. Incitement to violence is not words matter.

Was this the Tawana Brawley case?

[ExGingi]

So you are saying it is his rhetoric?
Words matter?

Exactly. It's the rhetoric. And the rhetoric that contributes heavily to hate crimes is that of class envy and warfare. Rather than encourage success, excellence and self-reliance, it conveniently shifts the blame to another group.

When were the Crown Heights riots? What's the background?

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.
