These Floridiot Dem politicians have zero zip nada understanding of the race wars that went on in Northeastern cities between the Jewish and the black communities from the 1910’s to the 1970’s.
The Jewish retiree community in Florida that are living on fixed incomes are most likely to have 1st hand street view memories of those events, starting in the 1890’s (in German Harlem and elsewhere) and culminating in 1st ring inner suburbs in the 1980’s.

My guess is you have your history wrong. Most elderly New York-area bred Jews have fairly good memories of the relatively few blacks with whom they had contact in their youth and early adult years. The problems really started with the Ocean Hill-Brownsville school district dispute and teachers strike in the late '60s. Up through the heyday of the civil rights movement, relationships between the communities were, on the whole, good.
