Whitewash of Sean Bell’s Murder by Police Continues in Court
“This whole thing is so twisted. You’ve got the victims—Sean and the other two with him that night—being attacked like they’re the criminals, and the criminals—the cops who killed Sean—being treated like they’re the victims. But you know, I’ve been at other trials of police who’ve murdered Black people and here’s the thing. It plays out pretty much the same way every time.”...

Lennar refuses to apologize for harm done to our children and elders now spreads lies
Lennar has bombarded our children with poisons and refuses to apologize to the community at large - especially the children. I have been saying this for years. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) has issued Lennar Corporation many Notices of Violations (NOV). The San Francisco Health Department has issued NOV to Lennar. Lennar is a rogue company. Now it has resorted - as any rogue company does to malign my name - but the community knows a thief and a rogue and has been knowi...

Race, class and the politics of the Obama campaign
Thursday, March 20, 2008 :The widely publicized speech Tuesday by Barack Obama on race relations in the United States was another exercise in walking the political tightrope for the Democratic candidate in his closely contested struggle with Hillary Clinton for the party’s presidential nomination. Obama made the speech after two weeks of attacks on the views of his long-time minister, Rev....

Lennar drunk with greed is floundering and deep in debt - drowing in its own cesspool
Never mind that Lennar all over the Nation has built inferior homes and more built homes on toxic land. Never mind that Lennar has poisoned our children and Elders in the Bayview Hunters Point area - that is San Francisco. Never mind, Lennar has no money and cannot even pay its loans. Do mind that Mayor Gavin Newsom, Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, and others - want to give this dubious company - hundreds of acres of land in San Francisco - to continue the exploitation of innocent people....

The "White Season": The British Broadcasting Corporation's Pim Fortuyn moment
Wednesday, March 19, 2008 :Last week, the BBC ran its “White Season”—a series as puerile as it was offensive. Billed as an exploration of “what it means to be white and working-class in 21st century Britain,” the trailer summed up the central message. A close-up facial shot of a white, bald and obviously working class male was shown....

Coalition for San Francisco Neighborhoods rescinds NO vote on F untill April 15, 2008.
Coalition of San Francisco Neighborhoods (CSFN) known for doing things the right way - blew it. They failed to contact the true proponents of Proposition F - James Queen and Francisco Da Costa.

Anti-Asian Column Becomes Rallying Cry in Boulder
Originally From New America Media
Saturday, March 15, 2008 : A peace rally and a list of demands for the chancellor are just some of the actions taken by AA students protesting a racist column in the U. of Colorado at Boulder's student publication. Chris Choe, 21, should be studying for his midterm exams right about now but instead he's busy helping organize a peace rally and preparing a list of demands for the chancellor - all this in response to the frenzy created by an anti-Asian colu...

Lennar wants to tout the MOVEMENT but does not have the Fortitude to do anything right.
Lennar is now trying to convince Matier and Ross and other such gossip columnists to do it a favor - target someone like me to cloud the matter at hand - Proposition F. Matier and Ross has long provided drab gossip to folks that dwell on such rubbish. Lennar is losing ground and groping for something while it is drowning. Its Stocks and Shares are at a all time low - and it is spreading lies to sell its Conceptual Plan at Candlestick Point - a dream that will never come to be....
