New York Times Article Reponses and Information Here is the official (and final, finally ;) repository of information relating to the article in the New York Times about Billy Wimsatt, presented in chronological order. If you just want to go straight to Billy's (15 page!) response, it's here. The original New York Times Article Billy's diary entry from the next day. The letter to the editor that Billy sent the next Monday Yvonne Bynoe's Article about the general disrespect that whites have for hip-hop and black culture in general, and the dangers of cultural appropriation. Billy's epic response to the article, presented here in 13 parts. If you'd like to print it out and read it on paper, you can download it here in Word or Text format. I've set up this discussion board so the discourse could continue... Please post here instead of emailing Billy directly. It would be a shame if all that came out of this was a series of angry/defensive/etc. articles on Internet webpages (like this one). Makani Themba-Nixon has written a piece called How Race is Lived in the Media: The New York Times Misses the Mark that's well worth the read.
