"Mr. Cappelli is planning a multifaceted development, and the renderings should reflect the faces of those who will live, work and play there," civil rights lawyer Michael Sussman said. "By portraying his target users in a racially exclusionary or singular manner, the developer, perhaps unconsciously, makes the full range of the region's population less welcome."
Nearly 17 percent of White Plains residents are African-American, according to the 2000 U.S. Census. Because blacks rely disproportionally on mass transit, Winston Ross, a former regional director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said making them so hard to find in renderings depicting a rebuilt White Plains train station is doubly curious.
If every detail of the public square, including cartoons apparently, must be accurate to the letter when it comes to race, then why can't we report accurately the crime statistics for minorities (Ex. in 1999, of the 1.7 million violent crimes involving blacks and whites, 90% were commited by blacks against whites) without being accused of racism by the same activists? Why it's almost as if the race lords aren't really concerned with the truth, but only with casting themselves as victims of a racist society.
