Black, Jewish Crown Heights Leaders Seek Unity
Upswing In Recent Violence Has Communities At Odds
Fears Of Riots Similar To 1991 Grip Residents
Reporting
Sean Hennessey
NEW YORK (CBS) ― Police are mobilizing a massive presence in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn in the wake of increased tension between black and Jewish communities.

Leaders from both communities have come together recently to preach cooperation among residents of the neighborhood where blacks and Hassidic Jews live side by side. But recent violence has showed that religion and race don't always mix.

"I definitely feel [like there's unrest] because I see it everyday. I'm around here a lot and that's what I'm hearing," said Crown Heights resident Anthony Rios.

Another resident, Joe Morgenstein, agreed, saying he hears "a lot of racial slurs all day" in the community.

I understand that the people that yell the loudest about racism are themselves very capable of racism, but our society is seems to look the other way at "this racism".

If what is going on right now in Crown Heights was going on in Utah and Mormans were involved it would be FRONT PAGE daily and speaking of daily, the Racism in Calif between Black & Hispanic is going on daily, that also is being played down.
But, "Get Imus"

Okay, so what do you understand about racism? Serious question. Patters says racism is a function of power, so black people apparently can't be guilty of it.

I think anyone can be guilty of racism, if they don't like someone just because of race.

Why don't we ask Yankel Rosenbaum, what he thinks about the racism in Crown Heights!
