Race card...
"I don't want to make this out to be a black versus white situation, but it seems like that's what it's turning out to be." — James Caldwell, BUILD
"It is because of race and class that whenever you have a small group of white liberals running and screaming about something, people think it’s important." — Bertha Lewis, ACORN
"If you never been in the Marcy Projects, you ain't from Brooklyn. If you haven't to Brownsville or East New York, Flatbush, you not from Brooklyn — you just visiting." — Umar Jordan, My Brooklyn Keepers, Public Hearing on the Atlantic Yards Environmental Impact Statement, 08/23/06
“I was born in Brooklyn... Some of you have not been in the Fort Greene housing project … Some people have not even dared to go into Farragut Houses … And some of us will not be lectured to … I’m from Brooklyn. I’m from Brooklyn!” — Former State Assemblymember Roger Green
