Let me guess who the new pictures will be: Mumia Abu Jamal, Sug Knight, Tupac Shakur, and O.J. Simpson.

"There's not one picture of a person of color, not one kid, not one Latin. Borough Hall should reflect the richness of our diversity . . . How about an outstanding woman?" Markowitz asked.Fine. How about putting up pictures of Queen Isabella and Christofer Columbus?
And Her Catholic Majesty is even a two-fer -- "Latin" and an outstanding woman.

How about Hillary Clinton and Maxine Waters?

"diversity" is making him take down a portrait of "old white man" George Washington"
True, "diversity" is making him take down the portrait of the father of our country.
"I respect history..."
Obviously a lie.
"Borough Hall should reflect the richness of our diversity."
I would say that it should reflect the heritage of our country.
"I guess you'd call me an old white man."
No, I would call you a pandering PC racist.
"he wants suggestions...for whose portrait he should hang in his office."
Marx seems appropriate. Since he appears to be a "useful idiot" maybe Lenin would do...
"We don't have a clue who these folks are,"
And you don't have a clue about what made them great...
"America's strength is it's ability to unify its diversity into a common vision and purpose...
America's strength is in its unity, not its diversity."
A strength that the pro-diversity/anti-unity agenda weakens on a daily basis.
Facts that all the pro-diversity/PC crowd either don't realize or don't acknowledge.

Does this bigot know Washington directed that his slaves be freed upon his death? Either he doesn't know or he doesn't care. Washington could have freed all the slaves in America, and this guy wouldn't care. He's looking at the racial composition of Brooklyn at the present day and trying to pander to it---he even says so more or less in the article. Maybe he thinks that's the only way he as an "old white guy" can stay on as Brooklyn borough president.

Very true. A part and parcel of Stalin's technique for making someone into a "non-person" was to first remove pictures (and all other images) of said individual from public view. Then work on removing written references. Finally, the masses were not even permitted to utter the person's name. I'm telling you, this "diversity" crap is taking us right down that road. I say to hell with "diversity" if it is implemented at the expense of truth.

A "borough" is an administrative division of New York City, often called "The Five Boroughs" because there are five of them: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Historically, for example, New York City originally meant simply Manhattan Island, and Brooklyn was a separate city up until 1898 (many Brooklynites identify much more strongly with their borough than New York City---or they used to in the days of the Dodgers). Borough Presidents head up boroughs, and like this guy Markowitz, often turn them into little fiefdoms of patronage and frequently corruption. It's another reflection of just how big New York is---though not as big as Texas, of course. ;-)

I say to hell with diversity period. It's about unity and assimilation......and regarding the truth whether we like it or not.

Thanks, This guy is in need of some serious citizen response...but since he was elected, his constituents may be too far gone (PC) to see what's wrong.

Here's some old information on the jerk, from the NY State Senate website:
Marty Markowitz
20th District
406 Legislative Office Building
Albany, New York 12247
518-455-2431
---
572 Flatbush Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11225
718-284-4700
I hope I can update it (or someone else can) so that the guy can be FReeped.

PC is destroying our country...
Worse, the "rank and file" folks just don't believe in it, just fanatics the damn liberal media, and most anyone in a coffee house.
We at work were discussing the hideous decision to "diversify" the NYFD flag raising statue.
Here is the make up of the room:
One Korean man
One white woman
Two white men, me and a registered liberal who holds a local office
One black female
With zero debate we concurred that changing the statue to show diversity is the stupidest thing ever thought of.
Political correctness is destroying our country.

As I have learned, diversity means that if your white, your wrong.
