May 30, 08 - 1:06 PM 		Crown Heights and the Black Jewish Community

I have family living in Crown Heights, Brooklyn right now. I am concerned about the unearthing of old tensions between the Jewish and the African American communities (search the news or go to http://news.google.com/news?q=%22crown%20heights%22%20jewish&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=in for more than enough info). I wonder if the African American Jewish community can do or has done anything to ease the tensions. I've been thinking about this lately, and it just seems like there is no answer to unite these communities whose legacy of misunderstanding and prejudice runs deep. Any thoughts?

I'm really surprised (and a bit disappointed) that no one on this forum has any insights on this. I feel that what is going on in Crown Heights is a microcosm of some of the racial and prejudicial issues in America.

Black Jewish teen wants to help his divided NYC neighborhood
June 4, 2008


NEW YORK - A 16-year-old teenager is hoping to help improve relations between Orthodox Jews and blacks in his Brooklyn community by trading on what makes him a curiosity to both: He is black and a Hasidic Jew.

Yosef Abrahamson got a chance _ at least symbolically _ when he was made commanding officer of a Crown Heights police precinct on Tuesday. He joined 120 other city teens for the one-day-only recognition. Abrahamson says he is willing to do anything to help the two communities.

Relations between blacks and Jews in the neighborhood have long been tense. Recent violence between the groups has led to increased policing.

Abrahamson is the son of a Jewish woman and a black father.

Pain and sadness will have to leave. Time is suppose to take away the pain. I'm truly sorry from the bottom of my heart should but not always solve things. Two cultures, two many people too much sadness. I don't think the unsafe driver woke up that particular morning wanting to kill anyone. I don't think the young child wanted to die that day. I do know that death hurts the soul, be it on purpose or on accident (if you are a good person). I hope or have a feeling that the driver was'nt a bad person. What really made the incident look bad was the color of the skin of the driver and that the child was seriously hurt and crying out for help. The brothers and sisters should have help out of love. Both sides need to move the pain and sadness away and hold hands and pray away the anger, misunderstanding and hate because waiting to heal can last so long that people will forget what the pain was all about. 1991 was a long time ago, it is almost twenty years. Who have the time to forgive? If it wasn't said at the time (I'm sorry for what happened, Please, I beg of you- forgive me.) Let us heal. Stars will shine as lion and deers sleep away the days misunderstanding. We all got to eat. The city that helps out everyone in danger is a good city. I hope that bug is worked out by now, and if not (shame)on the people who makes the rules. Vote them out of office and hope they need an emergency vehicle that will pass over them. What goes around-you know the rest.

George:
Is this really hate or are you crying out for help. Mean faces, angry looks, Heads banging against a pole is not frightening; It's funny to looking. Question, do you pray to Hitler? IF so is this a new religion. Hitler is no longer alive and if he saw you, he would try to kill you because his mind was being used by sin; just like yours right now. sin creeps into your body when you are angry, hurt, have a illness or disease. You have one of them. Please get some help. Let the rocks fall out of your head. Don't you want to sit around the house with a smile on your face instead of a frown? Don't be a hate potato; just be a potato.

George, you are lost and wandering in utter darkness. How I pity you because you hate G-d so much and He will judge you according to your evil ways. You think your rhetoric will stop anything that G-d has planned you all of us and especially you. The Holy Scriptures is clear about who is G-d's chosen people from the continent of Africa don't hate because your race was not the one. The Holy Scriptures does not say it was Germany, Europe, England, Russia. But G-d still can love you regardless of your sins, if you only confess your sins and call on the name of Yeshua to save you. It is still not to late....but one day it will be. What side will you be on the Lord's or the evil one?
