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....

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....

Lennar a Rogue Company will hit below the belt and draw in the worst elements in the fray
Lennar is a Rogue Company and will draw the worst elements in the fray to make a point to some how satisfy - Lennar's evil ploys and goals.

Parole Time for MOVE 9 (audio/mpeg 2.0MB)
All 9 MOVE men and women were convicted in one of the longest (and most contentious) trials in city history, on dubious charges of 3rd degree murder of a city cop engaged in the raid on their home, and related charges. Even if all the charges were true (and they most certainly are not), the sentence 30 to 100 years can only be termed grossly excessive. At the time of trial, 3rd degree carried a sentence of 71/2 to 15 years --so essentially the MOVE people got more than double, and indeed, qua...

Proposition F stands for Fortitude, Facts and the bright Future of the Bayview community.
Lennar the Rogue Company has acted as the proxy for Aurelious Walker, Lola Whittle, and Robert Simms three Blacks that have NOT attended a single endorsement meeting. The are the proponents of Propostion G that Lennar is backing. Lennar proxies, Michael Cohen from the Mayor's Office, and the Fadem Associates have been acting as proxies. Lennar is all out to spend another $3 million dollars - they say they cannot afford to lose - because too much is at stake. Well, Lennar is not wanted in our...
