Once over thirty percent of San Francisco consisted of Blacks - today, Blacks are less then five percent. In the Bayview Hunters Point with INTENT - this Racist City has been depopulating thousands of Blacks. The plan is to wipe out an entire community - and replace it with folks that do not live there - now. Behind...
