Racist Graffiti Covers Entire Crown Heights Block

CROWN HEIGHTS – The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating after racist graffiti was discovered on an entire block in Crown Heights.

Authorities say someone spray-painted anti-black and anti-Semitic messages on buildings along Lincoln Place, between Utica and Rochester avenues, Monday morning.

Neighbors say they were shocked to find that door posts, stairs and other parts of people’s homes were covered with vulgar words and signs.

    now more people can learn hands on, that its not one targeted group which is attacked. Its about letting the mode and expression of hate spread and not be addressed. Nobody wins when hate is not addressed.

    I think that this should serve as a wake up call for Jews and blacks alike, that we face the same enemy, racists are antisemit’s and vice versa.
    We must stand up for each other when one of us are attacked, or we will stand alone when we are persecuted.

    I don’t doubt for a minute that some of unzerer who have unfortunately fallen are capable of a stunt like this.

    However, I’m old enough to remember Tawana Brawley and this is what first comes to mind, given that the style of the graffiti is classic NY inner city. It would take one of unzerer oisvorfen years of practice to spray that way.

    #4: “You think they’re low? Why do you think that?”

    Low odds = high probability. High odds = low probability.

    You should know that, Milhouse.

    So you are telling me only Jews and Blacks live in Crown Heights? I guess my eyes are playing tricks on me because I see something different.

    • Milhouse

      Um, no, I’m not telling you any such thing. How on earth did you derive that from my comment? What bizarre train of thought led you from 2+2 to 37?

  • IF it was only anti semitic

    There wouldn’t be any reaction. There are so many hate crimes againstr Jews here almost on a daily basis and there’s NOT ONE WORD from all these politicians. Just so you know the facts.

    We need the State police involved to solve this hate crime. And the people who did this need to go to prison for life.
