Tyrangiel focused on an alleged personal vendetta between Eminem and me, but doing so obscures the real issues. It is The Source's journalistic responsibility to bring Eminem's multiple racist rants to light and publish excerpts of the song tracks. Our hope is not necessarily to topple a talented musician; it is to make Eminem accountable for his words and engage him and his fans in a real dialogue about racism.

Anti-Semitic incidents are up in Italy and Belgium, too, while in France the number of anti-Semitic attacks increased dramatically until late 2002, then dropped this year. In London, racist and homophobic attacks have dropped slightly; but anti-Semitic complaints have increased nationwide. Is there a method to this madness? To find out, TIME has reconstructed a week in the life of the people who've suffered a verbal or physical assault because of their perceived differences. In this imperfect...
