In 1995, in a dispute regarding a Jewish landlord raising the price of rent, Sharpton once again incites racial hatred. "We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business."

Seven employees die in the inferno. <ref>[http://www.jewishworldreview.com/jeff/jacoby011703.asp The Sharpton hypocrisy] Jewish World Review, January 17, 2003</ref>
