Why? That's the scary question....
Don't Worry It's Just Reality Brooklyn Edition
"Dreadnaught" plunges headfirst into the race debate as he wonders why Forest City Ratner sent out a direct-mail flyer that depicted only minorities.
And why when this was mailed out to neighborhoods the developer knew were majority white - like, for example park slope...the question is why? Was it to pander to blacks, or more importantly to intimidate whites with charges of racism?
The blogger also wonders why Roger Green has backtracked to the issue of race. Is it a knee-jerk response or part of a more calculated master plan:
Why is he kicking up this dead horse, much ado about nothing issue now? The race angle has been played out and Forest City has backed away from it - or have they?
NoLandGrab: Maybe the question is "why not" — Ratner proves that you can be white and still play the race card.
