Race Riots
After getting some perspecitve on what occured in the Harlem Race Riots I have to say that I am more sympathetic to the hissidic jewish population in Harmel. This is not because I think that either side did anyhting right in this situation I just feel like the jewish population was less at fault than the black population. This is supported by the fact that the accident that set all of the thing off, the death of the little boy, was an accident. I think that this is also a situation where blame was attempted to be shifted in order that some tangible entity could be blamed for the death of the boy. This came in the form of accusing the driver of being drunk and the ambulance drivers of ignoring the little boy. I was not there but I can only think that the driver was just trying to stay witht eh motorcade adn lost control of his vehicle. Not because he was drunk but because he was hurrying to stay with the motorcade. In terms of the ambulance system I agree with the jewish population again because I would have assumed that the police would have wanted the jewish man to be taken away from the situation as soon as possible and in order to do that and help the children the Jewish man had to be taken away in the jewish ambulance. What follows after this makes up the race riots and I think is more building on an original mistake.
