Scratch me and I bleed Brooklyn. I'm a purebred New Yorker, and we New Yorkers are fast, sarcastic, brilliant, and resilient. I have never not been proud of the people in my city, people who come from all walks of life. We are black, white, Latino, Asian and Arab. We are Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Buddhists, Sikhs, and atheists. When my city is attacked, all of us are attacked.
