Racial Flap Continues in the Yards
The Neighborhood Retail Alliance, run by Forest City Ratner paid consultant Richard Lipsky, considers the "community" in Community Benefits Agreement:
There will always be disputes about who does or doesn't really represent the community. In Brooklyn, with Daughtry, Sharpton, Lewis, Coach Screen, Renan Ebeid from Lincoln High and Jocko Jackson from Brownsville all on the side of the Yards the grass roots support is both wide and deep. To paraphrase Justice Stewart's comment on pornography, "We may not be able to define what the community is, but we know it is when we see it."
