This is a quite damning account. (By the way, I do wish people on the left would stop calling Bloomberg a "racist": he's plainly not (as the multiple endorsements from Democratic African-American elected officials might suggest). He's a member of the ruling class, and he's incapable of significant empathy with those not in his class. That includes poor African-Americans, but as many of his policies as Mayor makes clear, it includes many others. The stop-and-frisk policy was damaging enough without further diluting the meaning of the word "racist.")
