Blame the Jews. Newly elected Brooklyn councilwoman, Laurie Cumbo does. She believes that blacks resent the success of Jewish people and this is why they have been targeted in the crime whose diminutive, less serious term is known as the "knockout game."
Ms. Cumbo, who is black posted on her Facebook page that black residents in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, are afraid of being "pushed out" by their Jewish landlords. Now that is definitely a new, neat way of looking at what is motivating these young thugs to attacking unsuspecting, often elderly Jewish women and men. They are afraid they will lose their apartments. It makes perfect sense; if I want to remain living in my current apartment house, the way to ensure that is to beat the crap out of my landlord, or at least do it symbolically. That's like a damn James Joyce novel. To be fair, Ms. Cumbo stated that she admires Jewish people, but added "The accomplishments of the Jewish community triggers feelings of resentment, and a sense that Jewish success is not also their success." You mean to tell me that if I break a world record in the New York City Marathon that record doesn't include everyone else along the sidelines? Okay, maybe not the Jews, but what about all the others who stood there and watched me succeed--don't they deserve credit too?
