If there are pawns, it might very well be blacks who are content to reside on a plantation run by the Democratic Party -- a party that often gives very little financially to black candidates and a party that failed to fund the fight to defeat Prop. 209, which banned statewide affirmative action in California.

This is California, where 6 per cent of the voters once said they could never support Tom Bradley for governor because he was African American. If people think voting for Fong just because he is Asian was a terrible thing, I would say voting against Fong just because he is Asian is a lot worse.

The writer? Chauncey Bailey.

Who was shot and killed outside a courthouse in Oakland today in what is being called a deliberate hit.

*buh* *checks calendar*

It's 2007, not 1967....

OH WAIT

I just heard about the reporter being killed. I wonder if his writings were motive inducing or it was someone he angered in his personal life.

I just posted a link below -- he was investigating one of the local Black Muslim bakeries, there was a raid on it this morning. (I live ~10 miles south of there.)

I was in the car with murphymom this morning as KGO-AM broke away from the sports with the first report of this...nobody knew who it was at that point.
