Youth have no place to congregate and be safe in the Bayview Hunters Point area
The Lee Gym is under construction by the Bayview Opera House and youth hang at the corners. The Gyms on Kiska Road are shut and the youth have no where to go. In the mean time the Mayor is talking WiFi and inviting the Governor's wife to make vain speeches that defy the truth. San Francisco is a Racist City and the Mayor is heading the diatribe that makes it so.
The Lee Gym by the Bayview Opera House use to be a safe haven for those youth that wanted to play ball and make small talk. This gym is under construction and will be for some years. Hundreds of youth have no place to recreate.
There were two gyms by Kiska Road up on the Hill and they too have been shut down. The youth have no place to go but hang around some corners and become prime targets for the Law Enforcement.
We have over 70 Churches in the Bayview Hunters Point but few care for the youth. Calvin Jones and Aurelius Walker are for big money, back Redevelopment but NOT our youth. The same can be said of Sophina Maxwell and her cronies that are into Green and not those that need help most - especially our youth.
In the mean time Mayor Gavin Newsom has been playing to the media like the FOOL he is. He invited the Governor's wife who took the opportunity to talk about her father and the good work he has been doing for the poor far way from the Bayview.
She spoke about programs that will not work at Alice Griffith and Double Rock. You cannot address chronic programs using PLOYS like WiFi. It simply does not work. She made a fool of herself, so did Mayor Gavin Newsom and his cronies.
Well, the Kennedys have NOT visited any Public Housing in San Francisco in a long, long time - the last one was Bob Kennedy. Poor folks and youth are suffering in Public Housing because they have no facilities and those youth linked to Bayview and closer to 3rd Street.
Any decent recreational facility that was available - a couple of them renovated by Captain Rick Bruce is NOT available to the youth. The Lee gym is under construction and the youth have no where to go. Up on the hill the youth have no gym and no place that is SAFE.
Mayor Gavin Newsom does not care and nor does the Media. Up on the Hill the youth hang around and the two gyms by Kiska road have been shut for months. It is as if the youth have been punished for just being youth.
Some talk about the youth hanging round the corner but they do not think for a moment why?
In the interim Mayor Gavin Newsom and his crones run their mouth about this, that and the other thing. The Mayor when he was young was taken care of by the Gettys. Even now he spends more on his hair and other extra curricula activities - much of it dubious in character.
Mayor Gavin Newsom is all about Spin and Media Hype. How can he in good conscious try to address Crime and what is going on in the Bayview Hunters Point when the youth have no place to go to play and be safe?
The Mayor is creating a situation where he is putting the youth at risk on purpose. In the mean time the dumb, inept, ignorant, and very arrogant Supervisor - Sophina Maxwell is selling her community to the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA).
Huge areas have been declared Project Areas and crooked developers are ready wrecking buildings all along 3rd Street. Gentrification has begun and the folks that saw it coming are at a loss for words.
The woman Sophina Maxwell has NO clue about what is happening in her community.
You could ask her why are the gyms closed and the Youth have no place to go and she will look at you in the eye and with a blank look that defies logic. It is as if she is on drugs or something. The woman is pathetic and a pupet for those that use her like a dirty rag.
Sophina has been busy working with SELL OUT BLACKS the likes of Ms. Vincent, Angelo King, Aurelious Walker, and many more that have no clue that for months - our youth have no place to go to play that is safe and where they can have clean fun.
In the mean time the Law Enforcement is ready to round up our youth and ruin their future. LE will take any and every opportunity to adversely affect the lives on our youth. I see it all the time and defend the youth when I can and as best I can.
Killings and shootings are on the increase and no one in their Right Mind is thinking straight.
The Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice (MOCJ) is a joke.
The head of this Department has been brought from the Windy City and has no idea what is really happening to the our Great City. He keeps pandering to the local idiotic politicians and bending back wards to cater to the whims and fancy of the Mayor and the Mayor's cronies.
In the mean time our youth are dying and we in the Bayview Hunters Point have a very high percentage of youth that cannot understand why everyone is against them?.
In previous years our youth have done well in their studies and sports. Have proved to be good producers in the arts and especially in creating music. But now it is all about survival and shootings and killings and stuff that one would not like to think about.
The girls have joined the boys and everyone is tight and about that which ought not to be talked about. The authorities have a plan and the plan does not favor the youth. The authorities have BLOOD on their hands. The authorities have created a very bad situation. So has the District Attorney - Kamala Harris.
Mayor Gavin Newsom with his White Ass cannot go there and so do his cronies. The Black Sell Outs he gets his advice from like Dwayne Jones is a Uncle Tom and a disgrace to the Black Community. Others that act like spies and are a disgrace to the community. Time will tell.
The corrupt Black Leaders in recent years have been backing San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA). SFRA is all about Blight, Eminent Domain, and Tax Increment. SFRA has never, ever helped the community.
SFRA has not done anything much for our youth in the neighborhood.
SFRA has given over $850,000 to Arc Ecology and a White Saul Bloom to do outreach. What that means no one in the neighborhood understands. Yes $850,000 for outreach. Saul Bloom does not live in the community but he gets all the help from the crooks and SFRA and Marcia Rosen.
In the mean time our youth have no place to go. Shootings and killings are on the increase. Parents, relatives, and friends are worried. The Mayor and his cronies are talking WiFi when the immediate need is to save lives.
Others, are talking about putting CAMERAS to SPY on our youth.
It is simply pathetic how this Racist City is attending to the business at hand. It is simply pathetic that the Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice is making no head way.
The Black Leadership in the Bayview is swimming in the cesspool with no direction.
I tried to give some advice but the MOCJ keeps bonding with cronies that have NO clue about the youth and the neighborhood in the Bayview Hunters Point and Visitation Valley.
Thousands of dollars are being spent to push for Redevelopment and take over property using Blight and Eminent Domain. You see the crooked plan and the pushers all over the Bayview.
Over 8000 housing units are in the Pipe Line in and around the Project Area. It is all about Greed and Pushing our youth and people of color out of Bayview Hunters Point.
I have not seen the Local Media address the concerns and the plight of the youth. I have seen them address stupid issues and spend more time on writing about negative issues.
As I said this is a Racist City and the Mayor is heading in the wrong direction with his White Ass and his Getty connections and mentality.

Maybe the youth could; do homework, work part time, read a book, choirs around the house, go to the library, join ROTC, spend time with family members, volunteer in some sort of community service, play video games, the list goes on and on.
I'm not really sure who is "forcing" them to hang out on the street. Maybe we should direct our anger at the parents and hold them responsible for their children before we start blaming total strangers and the rest of society.

So they are caught up in the injustice system, victims of a failed "War on Drugs" (kind of like the "War on Terror"--it can never be won)
Great advice:
"Maybe the youth could: do homework" (who will help them?)
"work part time", (since finding jobs is so easy)
"read a book" (there's a great group activity for you),
"choirs around the house" (picking up the dead vermin? or rebuild the neighborhood?)
"go to the library" (another great group activity),
"join ROTC" (you could also swallow cyanide to see if it works),
"spend time with family members" (but dad's dead and mom's in prison),
"volunteer in some sort of community service" (dead body removal?)
"play video games" (with your expensive computer that you already have, right?)
"the list goes on and on."
The list sure does go on and on for someone who appears to have come from an upper-middle-class background. Thirty minutes talking with someone from that neighborhood would explain everything,
but you've never been there, have you.
"I'm not really sure who is "forcing" them to hang out on the street."
Yeah, instead they should go home (home?) and sit in a chair with their hands in their pockets. Every day, day
after day, for as long as it takes to make sure you never hear about them. If they don't have anything to do
individually, they might as well hang out together doing nothing. Company is nicer than no company.
"Maybe we should direct our anger at the parents and hold them responsible for their children before we start blaming total strangers and the rest of society."
What parents? Can those parents make the City fix poverty? You make it sound so easy, maybe you should
enter the real world and reassess your opinions. Go read "Is Bill Cosby Right?" by Eric Dyson.
Those darned poor people. It must be /their/ fault.

It is wrong that youth have no place to go.
That we all can agree on.
Sadly, the Supervisors, the mayor, the police:
They all coddle businesses that PRETEND to offer a safe place for kids to go. But they are not safe places. They do not serve liquour (that is the key criteria)-- but they attract nothing but trouble: drugs-- outside druckeness-- no supervision.
They exploit the youth-- turn them upside down and take their money (and their parents' money)-- they are COMMERCUIAL ENTERPRISESZ: not altruistic NON- PROFIT organizations.
They have NO redeeming features.
They attract TROUBLE, CRIME, VIOLENCE.

Sometimes people forget where they originally came from and what was initally here before the factories and pavement. Every human originally came from some region where special trees were honored and respected. In Africa's savannah the baobab tree usually stood in a central location in many villages, providing shade, nutritious leaves/fruit and a gathering place. The griot, an African name for a historical storyteller, often gathered everyone under the baobab tree for edutainment stories. In Africa's tropical rainforest many other great trees were interwoven in the dense and lush canopy..
"In Senegal the Baobab tree is a symbol of longevity. It is known as the king of trees, the most symbolic and majestic tree of the African savannah. The Baobab tree has miscellaneous uses – you can eat the fruits, cook a sauce with the leaves, make ropes from the bark and it’s said to have medicinal powers."

Here in north america (aka Turtle Island) before Columbus sailed across the atlantic the SF bayside and penninsula region was part of the greater temperate redwood forest ecosystem. Many diverse cultures of indigenous peoples populated the forest, living amongst nature's beauty without destroying it. Recently the descendants of the Ohlone and friends have worked together for a regional park. This could be a model of the future bayside park replacing the now deceased PG&E smog factory..
"Many, many years ago, there ran a pristine body of fresh water through large expanses of marshes in the southeast sector of present day San Francisco. This body of water ran almost 3 miles inland to Alemany Boulevard and was fed by numerous tributaries, springs and small creeks. This area was the home of a cornucopia of marine wildlife that fed the original human inhabitants — chiefly the Yelamu Ohlone Tribal group, one of the ancestral groups within the present-day Muwekma Ohlone Tribe's historic territory. This body of water is now known as Islais Creek.
Today on the north shore of Islais Creek a team of local residents ("Guerilla Gardeners") have cleaned, tilled, planted, irrigated and maintained a small open space, which has become a sanctuary for native plants, birds, and community. Grant funding will now enable the caretakers of the pocket park to undergo a master planning process for restoration and preservation. This community-based plan will celebrate the original history and peoples of the area, expand and preserve the resources of the park for the wider neighborhood and safeguard the area for future generations.

In modern urban settings youth can experience some relaxation and a safe place for socialization minus the pollution and noise if forested parks exist. By giving the redwoods some room to return to bayside the local residents could benefit from having some nature back around their homes. The bayside location of the now defunct PG&E plant would be an excellent addition to the park already in existance that consists of a narrow strip of rocks surrounding the PG&E plant. Since the plant is shut down it will need to be demolished and removed. This could be accomplished with needed safety materials and union labor force with required protection from pollution, dust etc..
Following the demolition of the PG&E plant, the lot will be a vacant eyesore and contribute to the general unease of the residents. Looking around at an apocalyptic scene like a post-war bombed out bunker doesn't help in lifting people's spirits. Planting some native redwood trees to begin the process of bioremediation would probably benefit the health of residents the most of any other options. Housing on top of a polluted toxic site such as the PG&E plant would not be recommended for human health. Any other forms of human construction will not be able to recycle the accumulated toxins and resonant residual energy as good as the trees could. Redwood trees living near the bay could also filter the runoff and guarantee (over time) cleaner water, making fishing a safer and healthier lifestyle. In addition, redwood trees would provide shade in summer, windbreaks during storms and fresh oxygen throughout the year. After so many years of residents breathing NOx, SOx, COx, etc.. and other toxic components of smog from natural gas combustion, a little localized oxygen from redwood trees in a public park would help improve the health of everyone..
Since many urban youth also like sports, maybe a small basketball court could be located in the middle of this future forested bayside park. Gazing upwards at the immense redwoods (in a few years time) while shooting hoops may be inspirational for urban youth of the future whose elders were previously exposed to the monotone blank walls of PG&E's power plant and their toxic smogstacks..
New days with fresh air and clean water are coming..

New days with fresh air and clean water are coming..
The 'Africa Today' magazine weblink in comment above has a banner advertising Shell Oil in Nigeria. Of course i noticed this Shell banner only after having posted the link in comment, to provide info about the baobab tree. Had i noticed this banner earlier i would have chosen a different article about baobabs, not one that blatantly advertised the genocidal actions of Shell Oil in Nigeria. When talking about sacred trees like the baobab in Africa, the journalists at the 'Africa Today' website also need to be aware of the human rights violations of their advertisers..
To counter the effect of this ad banner for Shell Oil i will include some websites containing info on Shell's human rights violations and ecological destruction, specifically in the Niger River delta of Nigeria, traditional homeland of the Ogoni, Ijaw and others. since we're on the subject of indigenous people's and their connection with natural ecosystems for food, shelter and nutrition, this is sort of a continuation of the topic. Nearby residents in Richmond also are exposed to the air pollution from a different oil corporation, Chevron. Chevron themselves are also profiting from oil extraction on the Niger river delta while simultaneously polluting the air and water quality of the delta with their unharnessed natural gas flaring (burning), similar to the harnessed combustion of natural gas by PG&E that for decades caused respiratory problems in African-americans of Hunter's Point/Bayview. So with petroleum corporations and natural gas fossil fuel combustion, asthma, air and water pollution we come full circle from Africa to North America and back to Africa..
some basics on Shell's activities in Nigeria's Niger river delta;
"Although oil from Ogoniland has provided approximately $30 billion to the economy of Nigeria1, the people of Ogoni see little to nothing from their contribution to Shell's pocketbook. Emanuel Nnadozie, writing of the contributions of oil to the national economy of Nigeria, observed "Oil is a curse which means only poverty, hunger, disease and exploitation" for those living in oil producing areas2. Shell has done next to nothing to help Ogoni: by 1996, Shell employed only 88 Ogoni (0.0002% of the Ogoni population, and only 2% of Shell's employees in Nigeria)3. Ogoni villages have no clean water, little electricity, few telephones, abysmal health care, and no jobs for displaced farmers and fisher persons, and adding insult to injury, face the effects of unrestrained environmental molestation by Shell everyday.
Environmental Degradation
When crude oil touches the leaf of a yam or cassava, or whatever economic trees we have, it dries immediately, it's so dangerous and somebody who was coming from, say, Shell was arguing with me so I told him that you're an engineer, you have been trained, you went to the university, I did not go to the university, but I know that what you have been saying in the university sleeps with me here so you cannot be more qualified in crude oil than myself who sleeps with crude oil.
-Chief GNK Gininwa of Korokoro, "The Drilling Fields", Glenn Ellis (Director), 1994
Since Shell began drilling oil in Ogoniland in 1958, the people of Ogoniland have had pipelines built across their farmlands and in front of their homes, suffered endemic oil leaks from these very pipelines, been forced to live with the constant flaring of gas. This environmental assault has smothered land with oil, killed masses of fish and other aquatic life, and introduced devastating acid rain to the land of the Ogoni4. For the Ogoni, a people dependent upon farming and fishing, the poisoning of the land and water has had devastating economic and health consequences5. Shell claims to clean up its oil spills, but such "clean-ups" consist of techniques like burning the crude which results in a permanent layer of crusted oil meters thick and scooping oil into holes dug in surrounding earth (a temporary solution at best, with the oil flowing out of the hole during the Niger Delta's frequent bouts of rain) 6.
Natural Gas Flaring
Ken Saro-Wiwa called gas flaring "the most notorious action" of the Shell and Chevron oil companies7. In Ogoniland, 95% of extracted natural gas is flared8 (compared with 0.6% in the United States). It is estimated that the between the CO2 and methane released by gas flaring, Nigerian oil fields are responsible for more global warming effects than the combined oil fields of the rest of the world9.
Oil Spills
Although Shell drills oil in 28 countries, 40% of its oil spills worldwide have occurred in the Niger Delta10. In the Niger Delta, there were 2,976 oil spills between 1976 and 199111. In the 1970s spillage totaled more that four times that of the 1989 Exxon Valdez tragedy12. Ogoniland has had severe problems stemming from oil spillage, including water contamination and loss of many valuable animals and plants. A short-lived World Bank investigation found levels of hydrocarbon pollution in water in Ogoniland more than sixty times US limits13 and a 1997 Project Underground survey found petroleum hydrocarbons one Ogoni village's watersource to be 360 times the levels allowed in the European Community, where Shell originates14."

McSpotlight asks,
"What's Wrong with Shell?
Ken Saro-Wiwa and 8 others were tried and executed for murder in late 1996. The real reason for the execution of these people was that they were leading the protest by the Ogoni nation in Nigeria against Shell's operations there. Ken Saro Wiwa played an important part in leading the protest against the exploitation of Ogoni lands and Ogoni people by oil giants such as Shell. As media interest in the trial peaked, Shell Oil was forced to admit that they had supplied guns to the Nigerian government. Nineteen others are still detained without charge for their involvement in the anti-Shell movement.
A Channel 4 documentary 'The Drilling Fields' accused Shell of being in alliance with the Nigerian military government. Shell had to withdraw their complaint about the programme after admitting to paying the military.
Shell continue to operate in Nigeria."

Let's not forget about Chevron either;
"According to a local observer, "Chevron-Texaco extracts hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil from the Niger Delta in Nigeria every year despite decades of resistance by the people of the Delta. In Opia, one community of the Delta, Chevron-Texaco has destroyed the traditional local economy, run pipelines through gardens and villages and leased helicopters to the military to attack local demonstrators." (Environmental Injustice, 2001)
While local opponents of its activities assert that Chevron-Texaco profits heavily from its operations in the Niger Delta and has provided both dollars and infrastructure to the Nigerian military, (which uses those resources to suppress resistance and kill activists), Chevron-Texaco accepts no responsibility for environmental problems or human-rights abuses. While all meaningful quality-of-life measures continue to indicate that the lives of indigenous people in the Niger Delta continues to decline, the corporation continues to claim that its operations "promote democracy and development." (Environmental Injustice, 2001)"

From the Niger River delta to the East Bay of CA, Chevron's legacy is one of environemntal racism and cover-ups of toxic pollution..
"In Richmond–less than 100 miles from a suburban California compound which will soon house the ChevronTexaco corporate headquarters, the company operates an oil refinery which dumps millions of pounds of dioxins on the largely African American, Latino and South East Asian community. Dioxins, the most toxic group of synthetic chemicals known, cause cancer, birth defects and a host of other health problems. ChevronTexaco refuses the reasonable demand by the community for zero dioxin emissions from the refinery. The residents of Richmond also want the refinery to implement a meaningful Industrial Safety Ordinance to protect workers and residents from frequent and sometimes deadly refinery accidents. The corporation also refuses to provide compensation to affected residents for known health impacts of the toxic refinery.
You do not have to travel to the Niger Delta or Ecuador experience the negative impact ChevronTexaco has on communities. In Richmond, California, the Chevron Refinery spews toxins on the workers and the community, which is predominantly people of color. Refinery accidents are often reported late and community members are not given sufficient notice of the health risks. Accidents have even resulted in death. Health problems in the community attributed to the refinery include cancer and asthma.
The people of Richmond are demanding that the ChevronTexaco accept three simple demands:
Zero Dioxin Emissions
Implementation of a meaningful Industrial Safety Ordinance
Compensation for health impacts to Richmond Residents.

Personally i would go one step further and implement the policies of Hugo Chavez in Venezuala with regards to petroleum extraction. The petroleum corporations (Shell, ChevronTexaco, ExxonMobil, etc..) should no longer be given corporate personhood (giving corporations the same rights as living human beings minus the responsibilty and/or accountability) and should become property of the workers and indigenous residents (Ogoni, Ijaw, etc..) of the oilfields in Nigeria or elsewhere. The corporate executives and certain shareholders of Chevron-Texaco, Shell, ExxonMobil/etc.. need to be held accountable for their actions of ecocide and genocide against the Ogoni/Ijaw in an international court of law, as Bush/Cheney/et al needs to be put on trial for war crimes for their illegal invasion of Iraq. The record profits taken by the petroleum execs needs to be returned to the people most damaged by their activities, whether in location of extraction (Nigeria) or refinement (Richmond)..
Here at least without corporate profit motive and under the care of workers and residents the oil extraction will be far safer and without the toxic pollution we currently face. Though i personally will remain a bicycle/pedestrian/public transit/carpooler, the extraction of the remaining petroleum needs to occur only under the direction of workers and residents. Let's not be afriad to shut it down when needed, a day off from work to walk and bike could do everyone some good. Consumption of remaining petroleum products should not be wasteful and used only as needed, including for research into alternative energy..
Though i don't consider myself a socialist (prefer green anarchy) i realize also that a socialist democracy as under Hugo Chavez is way, way, way, way x15 more desireable than the current state of fascism under the Bush/Cheney petroleum tyranny. When traveling by motor vehicle, supporting the Venezualan people's economy by buying from Citgo would be way better than supporting the big three mentioned above. If u can find a Citgo that is, they're few and far between in many regions..

To counter the effect of this ad banner for Shell Oil i will include some websites containing info on Shell's human rights violations and ecological destruction, specifically in the Niger River delta of Nigeria, traditional homeland of the Ogoni, Ijaw and others. since we're on the subject of indigenous people's and their connection with natural ecosystems for food, shelter and nutrition, this is sort of a continuation of the topic. Nearby residents in Richmond also are exposed to the air pollution from a different oil corporation, Chevron. Chevron themselves are also profiting from oil extraction on the Niger river delta while simultaneously polluting the air and water quality of the delta with their unharnessed natural gas flaring (burning), similar to the harnessed combustion of natural gas by PG&E that for decades caused respiratory problems in African-americans of Hunter's Point/Bayview. So with petroleum corporations and natural gas fossil fuel combustion, asthma, air and water pollution we come full circle from Africa to North America and back to Africa..
some basics on Shell's activities in Nigeria's Niger river delta;
"Although oil from Ogoniland has provided approximately $30 billion to the economy of Nigeria1, the people of Ogoni see little to nothing from their contribution to Shell's pocketbook. Emanuel Nnadozie, writing of the contributions of oil to the national economy of Nigeria, observed "Oil is a curse which means only poverty, hunger, disease and exploitation" for those living in oil producing areas2. Shell has done next to nothing to help Ogoni: by 1996, Shell employed only 88 Ogoni (0.0002% of the Ogoni population, and only 2% of Shell's employees in Nigeria)3. Ogoni villages have no clean water, little electricity, few telephones, abysmal health care, and no jobs for displaced farmers and fisher persons, and adding insult to injury, face the effects of unrestrained environmental molestation by Shell everyday.
Environmental Degradation
When crude oil touches the leaf of a yam or cassava, or whatever economic trees we have, it dries immediately, it's so dangerous and somebody who was coming from, say, Shell was arguing with me so I told him that you're an engineer, you have been trained, you went to the university, I did not go to the university, but I know that what you have been saying in the university sleeps with me here so you cannot be more qualified in crude oil than myself who sleeps with crude oil.
-Chief GNK Gininwa of Korokoro, "The Drilling Fields", Glenn Ellis (Director), 1994
Since Shell began drilling oil in Ogoniland in 1958, the people of Ogoniland have had pipelines built across their farmlands and in front of their homes, suffered endemic oil leaks from these very pipelines, been forced to live with the constant flaring of gas. This environmental assault has smothered land with oil, killed masses of fish and other aquatic life, and introduced devastating acid rain to the land of the Ogoni4. For the Ogoni, a people dependent upon farming and fishing, the poisoning of the land and water has had devastating economic and health consequences5. Shell claims to clean up its oil spills, but such "clean-ups" consist of techniques like burning the crude which results in a permanent layer of crusted oil meters thick and scooping oil into holes dug in surrounding earth (a temporary solution at best, with the oil flowing out of the hole during the Niger Delta's frequent bouts of rain) 6.
Natural Gas Flaring
Ken Saro-Wiwa called gas flaring "the most notorious action" of the Shell and Chevron oil companies7. In Ogoniland, 95% of extracted natural gas is flared8 (compared with 0.6% in the United States). It is estimated that the between the CO2 and methane released by gas flaring, Nigerian oil fields are responsible for more global warming effects than the combined oil fields of the rest of the world9.
Oil Spills
Although Shell drills oil in 28 countries, 40% of its oil spills worldwide have occurred in the Niger Delta10. In the Niger Delta, there were 2,976 oil spills between 1976 and 199111. In the 1970s spillage totaled more that four times that of the 1989 Exxon Valdez tragedy12. Ogoniland has had severe problems stemming from oil spillage, including water contamination and loss of many valuable animals and plants. A short-lived World Bank investigation found levels of hydrocarbon pollution in water in Ogoniland more than sixty times US limits13 and a 1997 Project Underground survey found petroleum hydrocarbons one Ogoni village's watersource to be 360 times the levels allowed in the European Community, where Shell originates14."

McSpotlight asks,
"What's Wrong with Shell?
Ken Saro-Wiwa and 8 others were tried and executed for murder in late 1996. The real reason for the execution of these people was that they were leading the protest by the Ogoni nation in Nigeria against Shell's operations there. Ken Saro Wiwa played an important part in leading the protest against the exploitation of Ogoni lands and Ogoni people by oil giants such as Shell. As media interest in the trial peaked, Shell Oil was forced to admit that they had supplied guns to the Nigerian government. Nineteen others are still detained without charge for their involvement in the anti-Shell movement.
A Channel 4 documentary 'The Drilling Fields' accused Shell of being in alliance with the Nigerian military government. Shell had to withdraw their complaint about the programme after admitting to paying the military.
Shell continue to operate in Nigeria."

Francisco,
Your descriptions of your neighborhood are so sad. It makes me want to see what you are describing, but I cannot travel.
Can you put up some pictures of your neighborhood? The closed gyms, the hill where they youths gather, the PG&E plant.
I'm so curious about this part of San Francisco that I will never be able to see. Please help me see it.

Your article addresses some very important issues in the city. You sir, however, are racist. All I heard about was complaints and no concrete solution to the problem. You place blame on "White Ass'" and "Black sellout uncle toms" Way to alienate two important groups of the SF community. Maybe you should spend more citing facts, dates, broken timelines etc. Spend your effort on names, public records...Dig up all the dirt you must, but If you attack this important issue this way, you will get no support and all your efforts will become counter productive. Thank you for your article but a change of tact and strategy is needed!
Whites do not like to be told the truth.
They stole the land from the Ohlone and failed to ratify 18 treaties. They have used the racial card for hundreds of years. First to slave folks and up to 1924 you could kill a Native American no questions asked. They did and continue to do the same to Blacks. Today in San Francisco Blacks form only 6% of the total population. We have about 770,000 in San Francisco.
If you monitor where the polluted sewage treatment plant, the power plants, the concrete and tallow facilties are placed - all in the Bayview Hunters Point.
he Major Freeways run through our neighborhood. The Cumulative Pollution is the worse ever and the City difies tax payers by not addressing the issues at hand.
We have no drug factory and no gun factory in the Bayview that I know of - and yet guns and drugs are brought in and available easy.
The people of color get them from mostly from folks that can afford to trade gun and drugs at the expense of lives. Check out the real facts and find out who is behind this nonsense. I mean the folks on the very top - you will not find one person of color!
Whites have always used the " House Negro" and "Uncle Tom" to divide and rule. Most folks will NOT tell you the truth but Sophie Maxwell, Aurelius Walker, Angelo King, Ms. Vincent, and many more are just that.
Find out who is Jesse Blout, Michael Cohen, Marcia Rosen, Richard Blum, Walter Shorestein, Don Fisher and then find out what are they doing speculating with Real Estate in the Bayview to the detriment of the people of color?
Find out why Lennar BVHP LLC is doing so much development on the Shipyard, the whole Candlestick Area and beyond - Treasure Island - and who are the Corrupt Folks behind this scheme?
My role as an advocate is to tell you the truth. Do you want me to sit down with you and expalin in detail the Housing Element, the Transportation Document, the Land Use and Zoning mishaps that have occured in the Southeast Sector and continue on a daily basis.
Do you want me to explain to you over the years how many young BLACK women and men have been framed and sent to jail? How many have lost everything because of being targeted and are now on the streets of San Francisco?
Would it help you to know who is behind the killing of Blacks that are so young and should live?
I suppose you want a pland and answer from me to all of the above issues? You are a professional MF!
Would it help you to learn that thousands live in cars and other places that are not really NOT habitable to survive and most of them are African Americans or Black in the Southeast Sector?
Do you really know that over Sixty Percent of the folks in the Bayview own homes. That most of them are people of color and that other forces mostly White are offering them CASH so that the gentrification can begin?
Do you know when Blacks go to the Bank they are told to take a hike?
When did you ever set foot in the Bayview Hunters Point? I know you live on another planet!
Some of you jerks are pathetic. I am not here to win folks over especially Racist Bastards that have no clue and most of all are not educated on issues.
I am not here to Baby Sit anyone.
I have seen too many young Blacks killed.
I have attended too many funerals.
I see too many children mostly Blacks suffer from hunger, lack of opportunities, lack of health facilities and health plans - it goes on and on. I am not hear to be nice and tell you MF fairy tales - you can get that in the White Ghetto.
Some Whites will never get it because they never understood what it means to be truly free.
There is Freedom and there is License. What most Whites operate on is divide and rule - the use of License that adversely impacts thousands and many innocent lives are lost.
What is License? It is the abuse of Freedom. Of course you would not know that with your moronic outlook and wanting me to baby sit you and give you solutions on a platter.
Blacks should NOT look for solutions from Whites - they shoudl do on their own. Once the Mau Mau did it and with excellent results. I will not state further.
I am not looking for supporters I have thousands. I am not looking for help from Racists. I am telling the T R U T H - and some MF cannot take it - and so be it.
