Racial remarks were merely metaphors Re: “Fight for D.C. rights gets racial,” April 15

Examiner reporter Freeman Klopott totally misinterprets statements made about Congress’ control over the District as racial when they clearly are not. Mayor Gray’s references to slavery and Emancipation Day were used to illustrate how Congress lords it over D.C. and refuses to give us either legislative or budgetary autonomy.
