What I resented was not this specific couple.
It all converged into a silent scream in my head of, Get off my lawn! Instantly, I was flooded with emotions - astonishment, and then resentment, and then astonishment at my resentment. … I saw a young white couple stopped at the library. This piece is a very weak, jerry-built screed - built on pernicious premises:Ī library is not so much a marker of wealth and whiteness as it is an affirmation of community. I am sure the Times gets loads of op-ed submissions, and that it is not easy to get published there. What about the value of this op-ed as an opinion piece, as a piece of writing? Let’s forget for a moment the anti-white racism. How did this racist “guest essay” get published? Or, I should say, what is it doing there? Of course, this pertains to news, but there must also be a high standard when it comes to the editorial/opinion pages. The New York Times has - since its inception, I would imagine - been regarded as the exemplar of responsible, objective journalism. ‘Is My Little Library Contributing to the Gentrification of My Black Neighborhood’
