Three Black Pastors all on the take and having their institutions named with names such as Market Place, True Hope, and 3rd Baptist garner around some fake unity to say something about the Bayview - but end up saying nothing before the SF Board of Supervisors. It has become fashionable for some drab, shallow, uneducated Black Pastors to think they can fit in the shoes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and fight for Civil Rights issues.These fools are on the take getting money from the DEVIL himse...

Denver has a long history of conflict over its Columbus day parade. Unlike countless other cities, the local organizers stubbornly refuse to change the parade name to reflect pride in Italian heritage. An anonymous protester successfully punked the local Denver news media by sending out a faked press release announcing that the parade had been cancelled this year. The parade was not really cancelled, and should proceed like normal on Saturday, offering unedited praise for Columbus as the only...

I knew Tiffany Bohee when she worked for SF Public Utilities Commission and did work as that of a peon. Now, Michael Cohen suddenly has embraced this person who lives outside San Francisco and comes to this City to earn her money. Tiffany Bohee should be ashamed of herself - spewing lies and dividing our community. The typical ploy used by the Pacific Heights Mafia - using a Black to sell the goods that the Pacific Heights Mafia want to be sold. Tiffany's presentation yesterday before the Bay...

Adding to the mess that the United States Navy has created, Lennar a Rogue Developer has bombarded the constituents of Bayview Hunters Point and beyond with Asbestos friables - very dangerous and slowly KILLING our children and elders....

In the recent past, attorneys for police on trial for acts of brutality have succeeded in getting acquittals by changing the venue. This is true even in the most extreme and damning cases where the guilt and conviction of police seemed almost certain. The police who killed Amadou Diallo in the Bronx in 1999 when he reached for his wallet were acquitted by an upstate Albany, New York jury. The Los Angeles police who were videotaped beating Rodney King were acquitted in their first trial, in 19...

Monday, September 14, 2009 :We speak with journalist Naomi Klein about her latest article for Harper's Magazine, "Minority Death Match: Jews, Blacks and the 'Post-Racial' Presidency."
