Citizen M does it again

Here's another email I sent to the Times and CC'ed to the Mayor's office:

Hello,
Thank you for publishing Diane Cardwell's article on the racial implications within this transit race. Please move the article further into the public view. By keeping it buried from the first page of the newspaper's website and from front view on the NY/Region page you are tacitly confirming the erroneous belief that racism is nonexistent in New York City. You are also demonstrating that the self-righteous 'northerner' mentality, that too profited and gained from slavery in the American South, remains alive and well.

Racism was not created by minorities; nor is race some sort of weapon to be wielded by people of color as Mayor Bloomberg's spokesman Mr. Skyler's quote connotes. ("It's despicable for anyone to inject race into this situation.") In fact, his statement can also be construed as offensive as well. Since racism, sadly, is a factor and a variable to every single transaction in our society it must be addressed as consistently and at every opportunity in order to ascertain how to end it. Even in its subtle or subterfuge manifestations, racism needs to be studied, scrutinized, and critiqued as much as in its most extreme and tragic examples such as during the New Orleans disaster.

Best wishes,
