Nearly 17 years after riots tore Crown Heights apart, the recent beating of a black college student by Jewish assailants has exposed rising tensions between blacks and Jews in my neighborhood.

The man on the bike sprayed Charles with tear gas, and a few minutes later a contingent of Jewish men arrived by car and in scooters and began chasing them.

In the neighborhood's calculus of tribal resentments, the attack on Charles was the mirror image of a January incident in which a teenage yeshiva student named Samuel Balkany said five black kids jumped and beat him, shouting "little Jew boy, you think you own this neighborhood," and such.

No, we can't all just get along: we want our own cultures, and our own identities, so we can find a consensus that works for who we are genetically.
Pluralism/multiculturalism/globalism are the same thing and they make people alienated by giving them no framework of values in which to exist. Our future is endless racial conflict, culminating in a grey lumpenproletariat, until we figure this one out.
