We’re all super pumped about the results of the 2010 Census. Who isn’t dying to find out that white people still live on the Upper East Side?

But some just can’t wait for the results to come in to start writing their angry editorials: the Daily News points out today that in the 2000 census, New York was America’s third most racially segregated city, after Detroit and Milwaukee.

And as far as they can tell, the results of the latest survey will come to terrifyingly similar conclusions

They blame some of the housing segregation on real estate professionals who “unlawfully steer white and black renters and buyers to different neighborhoods.”

  • MICHAEL JACKSON (1958-2009) – The entire world felt the repercussions of Jackson’s unexpected death in June. Jackson was a pop artist of unparalleled achievement whose legacy makes the phrase “international megastar” seem inadequate. He won hearts as the lead singer of the Jackson Five with his brothers and the hits “ABC,” “The Love You Save,” and “Dancing Machine,” among others. Later, his 1979  adult debut album Off The Wall was a soul/dance genre-defining gem. Three years later, he released the album Thriller, which became the biggest selling album of all time. With several more albums released over the past two and a half decades, Jackson created everything from stellar booty shakers (“Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’,” “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing),” “Remember the Time”) to love aphrodisiacs (“I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” “You Are Not Alone,” “Butterflies”) to poignant meditations on our place in the world (“Human Nature,” “Man in the Mirror.”) Following his death, a slew of celebrations around his music were had throughout the world, reminding us that, even with all of the controversy that surrounded his life, that there was never any question of the love we had for his work. He inspired us to never stop until we get enough. (AP PHOTO)
