Johann,
Your post is a non sequitur, that has nothing to do with anything. Of course "there are racists all around," but doesn't refute the fact that this New York Times article, from a publication comprising half of all the Alaska dispatch's chosen stories,  is being deceitful in there journalism..
.
"If you don't want to celebrate Martin Luther King Day, it must mean you hate civil rights leaders?"  Sorry, that's not honest or proper journalism.
