public policy with regard to the
handling of accident victims in
any other way. And there you see
the tragic and pathetic result of
our sense of victimization.
Anyway, about three hours af-
ter the traffic accident and sever-
al blocks away, a group of black
youths came upon 29-year-old
Yanke1R,osenbaum, a rabbinical
scholar visiting from Australia.
Mr. Rosenbaum had nothing to
do with the accident. In fact, he
probably didn't even know it had
occurred. But Mr. Rosenbaum
looked Jewish. He had the full
beard and he wore the somber
clothing of an Orthodox Jew. So
someone yelled, "Get the Jew!"
And he was stabbed to death.
We often become so
fixated on our own
rights that we
trample heedlessly.

Police arrested Lemrick Nel-
son, 16, and charged him with
murder. He was acquitted of crim-
inal charges in 1992, but pressure
from New York's Jewish com-
munity led to Nelson's being
charged with violating Mr. Rosen-
baum's civil rights in 1994. An-
other man, Charles Price, 43, also
was charged with civil rights vi-
olations. Price was captured on
videotape inciting blacks to "get
Jews."
A federal jury of five whites
(including two who are Jewish),
three blacks and four Hispan-
ics convicted Nelson and Price on
those charges recently. They face
up to 20 years in prison.
David N. Dinkins, New York
City's first African-American
mayor, was severely criticized for
his handling of the incident by
nearly everyone. The fragile
coalition that put him into office
splintered and so New York now
has a white Republican in City
Hall: a man who might be con-
sidered Mr. Dinkins' exact op-
posite. Thus, the black
community's self-indulgent wish
to think itself powerless became
a self-fulfilling prophecy.
But let's be candid: Too many
of us are slow to condemn big-
oted statements aimed at other
ethnic groups, including Kore-
ans, Jews, and even white Amer-
icans.
So, in Crown Heights, Cha-
sidic Jews pushed for federal
prosecution of two black men un-
der the same civil rights laws .
that were used to protect us
against the excesses of the deep
South; the same laws used to
seek justice against the white
Los Angeles police officers who
beat up Rodney King.
A case of our own laws used
against us? The civil rights laws
are meant to provide justice for
everyone, not just us. ❑
