This Week in the Voice: “The White Mayor’s Burden”

This week in the Village Voice, I wrote the feature story “The White Mayor’s Burden.” It’s a story of how hypocritical Mayor Bloomberg’s Young Men’s Initiative is, given all he’s done to suspend, stop and frisk, and lock up young black and Latino men. I was especially fascinated by the role of race in marijuana arrests, school discipline, and the FDNY.
