Lennar is a Rogue Company and it must always remember that and never forget that the people of the Bayview Hunters Point will not trust Lennar - ever. The Human Rights Commission - that has no clout and less spine - has not spoken out about the atrocities committed by Lennar on innocent children and our Elders. Lennar must understand the dynamics in San Francisco are different - and hundreds of Alex Trouks, Eric Jayes, other consultants all dubious in nature - Store Fronts, From the Ground U...

"Symbolic Racism" and the "US of KKK A"
This brief, two-part, introduction to "Racism 101" should persuade you that Rev. Jeremiah Wright's utterance about present-day racism is no more outrageous than are the smug, self-serving beliefs of symbolic racists who maintain that "discrimination is no longer an obstacle for blacks, that their current lack of upward social mobility is caused by their unwillingness to work hard, that they demand too much of government, and that they have received more than they deserve."
