This is nothing new. Twenty five years ago my then husband and I were visiting friends in Crown Heights. He decided we should take our young daughters to the Children's Museum in Jamaica Queens, which was only a half mile away. Walking back from the museum, three young black guys started following us saying things like "Do you thing they are Jews. Should we kill them?" At that time both he an I were serious weight lifters, and although only 5' 6", we were heavily muscled. So we told our 10 year old to look after her 6 year old sister. Then, pumping blood into our muscles to make them bigger, we turned back towards the thugs shadowing us and gave them a dead eyed stare. One guy said "No, they're not Jews", and they peeled off. That happened in front of a former synagogue that had been turned into a black church. So the argument that Jews are taking over black neighborhoods could not apply. I'm quite sure, if we hadn't had gym bodies, they would have beaten us just for instance.
