New York City Councilwoman, Laurie Crumbo, Blames Jews For Knockout Attacks on Jews

Laurie Crumbo Has Regard For The Tenacity of the Jewish People, 

But Apparently She Also Has a Genuine Concern About That Tenacity

From the Daily Caller:

A local New York City politician and ally of mayor-elect Bill de Blasio says the recent spate of “knockout” attacks in Brooklyn may stem from “a genuine concern” about Jewish influence. Laurie Cumbo, the councilwoman-elect for the Brooklyn neighborhood of Crown Heights, made the comments in an open letter posted to her Facebook page. 

In the letter, Cumbo reports that many of her African-American constituents are alarmed by the growth of the local Jewish community. The resulting tension, she says, could have lead to a number of attacks on Jewish residents that bear the hallmarks of a “game” in which teens attempt to knock someone unconscious with one punch. 

“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. 

”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.” 

Like mayor-elect de Blasio, Cumbo hails from the resurgent left wing of the city’s Democratic Party. De Blasio, who once volunteered to assist the radical socialist Sandinista movement in Nicaragua, will be New York City’s first Democratic mayor in 20 years when he’s inaugurated next month.

I can't imagine that it would take a Christian like me to point out, to Jews, that that word, "tenacity", is a substitute code word for "PUSHY", or conniving, or money-grubbing, or any of the other stereotypes that have been going on for so many years.

That there is what you call yer dog-whistle racism.

But don't worry, because Laurie Crumbo assures us she "regard(s) this level of tenacity." Whatever the fuck that means.

How does she regard it? Well? Or, you know, as tenacious tenacity bordering on pushy and all that?

And really, think about what she's doing here. She is attaching these stereotypes to a very real and persistent attack on Jews which is all but murderous. She is not outright calling for a pogrom, but she does seem to be saying she would understand it happening considering the conditions are ripe, as far as she is concerned.

This woman is insane and dangerous. Someone stop her before she writes again.
