That was a rough year to be living in NYC,,,esp Brooklyn.
The killing of Yusef Hawkins opend cans of worms,,,esp when everybody believed their own "color blind" propaganda. | |

Not only Yusef, but the Central Park Jogger attack too. It was funny haering many white New Yorkers(especially conservative loudmouths like Bob Grant) scream for the death penalty in the Central Park case, but they didn't have the same outrage for Yusef(the black kids were called animals, thugs, lowlifes but not Yusef's killers). Sh!t like this shows you what New Yorkers are really like. | |
