Dishonoring Martin Luther King by Honoring Willie Brown Today

Glide Church and its leading parasite, Cecil Williams, the supporter of the current illegal mayor, Nazi Newsom, is a lifelong member of Willie Brown's election fraud team. Cecil and Willie go back many decades together. See the 1970s' election fraud scandal promoted by the CIA front organization, used by the Democrats to commit election fraud and to sabotage the black liberation struggle of that era, the People's Temple, at http://www.brasscheck.com/jonestown. This is the Democratic Party, the twin party of capitalism with the Republican Party. The current members of the Democrat-Republicans' election fraud team are SLUG (San Francisco League of Urban Gardeners, who just sweep the streets for the Dept of Public Works which should do it themselves instead of contracting out), TURF (phony youth improvement outfit), Glide Church and Cecil Williams, Third Baptist Church and its parasite, former supervisor Amos Brown, Nation of Islam, A. Phillip Randolph Institute, Housing Authority, Walden House. The election fraud that Willie Brown is better known for is http://www.brasscheck.com/stadium

These Martin Luther King parades are nothing more than Democratic Party hustles. Either the socialist orgainzations get serious about taking over the MLK celebrations, or they avoid them. Last year, ROTC was in the parade, although MLK was a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and opposed the war in Vietnam. That garbage must be kicked out of the parade too.

Stop voting for all Democrats and all Republicans and all levels of government, for they represent the same bankrupt social order, capitalism.

It is also best to view King as he really was, and not a saint. He was a registered Democrat, and supported Israel. He was also religious, which is anti-science. His efforts were only part of the civil rights era of 1940-1968. He was only one of many leaders. This writer easily remembers MLK and the civil rights era. What we should all remember in addition to the fact that King was just one of many leaders is that he was assassinated by the US government when he began to broaden his movement to a workingclass movement of all colors to fight poverty. We need a mass labor movement where actions are taken collectively, and there are no "leaders" who can easily be assassinated.

Now we have Muni ripping off the Black community though Contracts and Jobs under the former Willie Brown Administration, Now the people are not in the back of the bus they are not even on the bus! Moreso many black people were forced out of the city, or into homelessness 67% of the homeless come from Bayview Hunters Point. Willie you have done an excellent job in steping on or wiping out your peoples future. You can refrence the New York Times Black People Faster Than Any Other City In The Country. SFBayview on the homeless from Bayview Hunters Point. Martin we apologice for this insult to you.

Just a block south of the state capitol, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. pastured his first church -- Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. King’s church, along with churches like Holt Street Baptist, was at the center of civil rights protests. When local seamstress, Rosa Parks, was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white man to protest segregated buses, the Montgomery Bus Boycott marked the first large-scale black opposition to segregation of public facilities. For more than a year protesters stayed away from buses and traveled to work on foot or in private vehicles. With the help of local NAACP official Dr. E.D. Nixon, who was known as the “Father of the Montgomery Bus Boycott,” the boycott became one of the city’s most unforgettable events leading to the desegregation of Montgomery buses. And it provided the model for civil rights activism throughout the country and the world.

New reports show blacks are leaving San Francisco at rapid pace

SAN FRANCISCO -- Bobbie Webb considers himself a survivor of a demographic earthquake that has done more to chase black people out of the city than any temblor ever could.

Blacks have abandoned San Francisco faster than any other major city in the last decade. In search of affordable housing and a sense of community, more than 18,500 have left since 1990, exacerbating a trend that began a generation ago when urban renewal projects forced many to relocate.

Webb, a blues musician who lives in the Fillmore District, once known as the Harlem of the West, still remembers all the fun he had at the skating ring, the late-night talent shows at Ellis Theater and all the shops and jazz clubs along Fillmore Street that gave black people a sense of community.

"We have lost it as far as black people are concerned," he said. "The Fillmore is gone."

Decline since 1970s:Blacks have steadily left San Francisco since their numbers peaked at 96,000, or 13 percent of the city, in the 1970s. But exodus became much more pronounced in recent years, with 23 percent of the city’s blacks leaving even as San Francisco’s overall population grew. Now there are only 60,500 blacks left -- 8 percent of the city of 775,000.

Nationwide, blacks are moving to the suburbs, experts say. Miami lost 21.5 percent of its blacks, and Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles also had striking declines as upwardly mobile blacks moved away from inner cities in search of more services and better schools.

In the case of San Francisco, a city that elected a black mayor and prides itself on diversity, simple economics is at work.

During the 1990s, hundreds of low-income families in San Francisco had to be relocated as federally subsidized housing units were torn down. This hit blacks particularly hard; according to a 1999 Census Bureau survey, the city’s black families were three times more likely than other races to live below the poverty level.

More recently, the dot-com boom attracted thousands of new residents, mainly young professionals willing and able to pay rents that became the highest in the nation.

Webb, 62, pays $576 a month for the rent-controlled two bedroom apartment where he raised his four children, and he knows plenty of people willing to pay the $2,400 his landlords want for the apartment, on a block where tourists check out the colorful Victorians and the corner store sells all organic products.

The city’s first large and visible black community emerged between 1940 and 1950. The black population grew tenfold as people came to build ships and work in other war-related jobs. Many arrived in the Fillmore; others settled in the city’s Bayview-Hunters Point area, closer to the Navy yards.

By the time the urban renewal projects were finished in the 1970s, about 20,000 blacks had been displaced. And as they left, so did the businesses.

Few institutions:Aside from churches, blacks have few major cultural institutions to call their own in the city. An African-American Cultural Center, promised a decade ago as part of a redevelopment project, won’t open until 2003, and organizers are still working on the concept.

Reversing the World War Two-era migration, blacks have increasingly moved back to the South in the last 20 years. Many move to be closer to family, or because they want their children to experience a predominantly black community, Banks said.

"People will move where they can feel at home," said Banks, who lives in Hayward, a San Francisco suburb whose black population soared by 40 percent since 1990. Some have tried to revive the Fillmore District’s jazz venues, and a proposed municipal railway extension along Third Street will eventually connect Hunters Point directly to downtown. But most people feel the black exodus is irreversible.

"The city of San Francisco is becoming an upper-class neighborhood of the Bay Area," said Orfield.

"Rev. Jones is regarded among government officials, civic and religious leaders, and particularly the black community and working class people, with utter respect..."
- Willie Brown Jr.
At the very same time Brown made this remark, many legitimate leaders of San Francisco's beleaguered black community expressed grave concerns about Jones' conduct.

One, Reverend Hannibal Williams, who received death threats from the Peoples Temple, brought his concerns to District Attorney Joseph Freitas, a political ally of Willie Brown. Peoples Temple attorney Tim Stoen, who Freitas had made an assistant district attorney, attempted to kill the investigation.
