Sample Post: I think when people turned on the television, when we marched in Howard Beach and Bensonhurst, and saw people holding watermelons and calling people "n*ggers" -- they never imagined that could happen in Brooklyn. If you had taken some people, brought them in a room and showed them tapes of those marches, they would have thought it was Birmingham in '63, or Selma. No one would have believed it was New York. I think that's one of the problems the media has with me -- that I was able to tear the veil off racism in New York. The civil rights issues of the 1950s and '60s never reached New York as a movement. The city sort of assumed this liberal image without ever going through the catharsis the South did. |
