Fred Blackwell a Black Man annointed by Mayor Gavin Newsom to foster corruption Some us will never learn how the Masta uses folks to do his evil work. Mayor Gavin Newsom is a racist and has now appointed Fred Blackwell from Oakland to do the devil work. In fact Fred Blackwell has been anointed to finish the evil work that has been initiated by Marcia Rosen (who resigned) but is still working behind the scenes. That is just how very corrupt people work. This is indeed a very Racist City - where some exploit other to do their dirty deeds....
