Because Brooklyn is no longer white, there shouldn't be a picture of a white man on the wall?
Why isn't Brooklyn white? Ah, yes immigration.
Because of immigration, history must be colorwashed. We can't have a picture of one of the founders on the wall. That might offend some of the immigrants.
If they hate us so much, I have a better idea. They should go somewhere else!

PS. If having a white on the wall is so bad, why did the people of broklyn elected a white Jew?
Perhaps he should step down.

If the majority of the population of Brooklyn is non-white then why should'nt they pick their own heroes? Let's face it, whites have their heroes, blacks have their heroes, Hispanics have their heroes etc. This is a balkanized society, like it or not. Go anywhere and you will see people dealing with their "own kind." That's life. You're all fighting against human nature here. Now, no one put this issue to a vote in Brooklyn, perhaps they should have done so.
