DESCRIPTION:

A forum on standing up for civil rights in the Bayview:

Speaking:

Barbara Becnel (advocate for Stan TookieWilliams, CO-producer of "Redemption", featuring Jammie Fox as Tookie)
Minister Christopher Mohammed (Nation ofIslam/SF)
mesha Monge-Irizarry (ISF - Idriss StelleyFoundation, Bayview ACORN)
Mark Leno Assemblyman
Charlene Smythe (Green Party People of Color Caucus / Bayview resident)
Sandra-Juanita Cooper (Campaign to End the DeathPenalty/Bayview Chapter, Bayview ACORN)
Pam and Ramona Africa, internationally acclaimed organizers of the Free Munia Abu Jamal Campaign, and the Family of Julio Ayala, killed at the S Airport Inn by San Mateo PD will be present


PG&E is spitting out toxins that give our children asthma, police harass and even gun down innocent people and get a slap on the wrist (if that), Governor Schwarzenegger is planning on spending over $200 million to refurbish San Quentin’s death row while cutting school budgets across the state, and California plans on executing five time Nobel peace prize nominee, Stan Williams, (an innocent man on death row) who has done more to effectively lead kids away from gangs and violence than any single person in California. Enough is Enough! More than ever, we need to build a new civil rights movement.

I agree. Enough! Enough mindless gang violence! Enough crime! Enough deadbeat parents who don't give a damn who they sire! Enough deadbeat single mothers who sit at home all day bitching about welfare-to-work requirements that interfere with their social lives! Enough assault! Enough harrassment of Asians in public housing projects - (Earth to Bayview - no, they are not 'your' housing projects). Enough shootouts on Muni buses by 15 year old thugs! Enough bitching about what "whitey" owes your sorry asses. Enough! You know what? We're tired of your bitching. Get a fucking job and deal with your own problems. They aren't mine and I don't owe you a goddamn dime.

Steve, Mr. White man, bigot, sir, if you feel that these problems don't cocncern you, why-oh why, are you waqsting your precious time and energy posting about these non-relevant problems? You could be doing all the important you bigots do, like watching COPS on teevee or going hunting, or beating your wife (if a woman would put up with you). And when did you get to like and defend Asians anyway, or is it only when they can be part of your racist argumentation?

Good lord, what universe did you come from?
Do you have any socially constructive ideas to address these problems, which by the way are not just local?
Perhaps you are using indybay to vent either your racism or some bad experiences on the bus?
Like my mother used to say, "actions speak louder than words." so be a good boy and talk like a real man, yes, you know, "talk the talk, and walk the walk"
You will be judged by your actions or non actions.
