U.S.A. District Court - Southern District

New York City, N.Y.

Dear Judge Pauley:

With respect to the unfortunate and egregious example of untreated racist/colorist treatment with which New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn has degraded New York City Councilman's Aide Viola Plummer, a Black activist from Brooklyn, may I tell you that as a concerned resident of Brooklyn, I am distinctly outraged.

In my estimation, and as a longtime activist myself, with over twenty years of community anti-racism/colorism research and training , Ms Quinn has overstepped her authority and, as I wrote to her, has revealed a deeply entrenched level of untreated colorism which has embarassed her and, in her capacity as Speaker, the entire New York City Council. I am not only embarassed as a local citizen by her obvious colorism, I am angry that she has gratuitously showered her opprobrium on to the hired and appointed Aide of the Hon.City Councilman Charles Barron.

I would like to see Ms Quinn referred to the administration of the www.racismtest.com (Racism/Colorism Quotient Test Program with Follow-Up psychological/psychiatric Counseling, whichever is indicated) for the healing she so obviously needs, as evidenced by her overstepping of her authority in the current contretemps with Ms Plummer.

Sincerely,

Carol Taylor R.N.
