by Ophelia Williams

Ophelia Williams’ little niece and other family members wait for the bus near her mother’s house in Hayes Valley.

Where I’m from, boys don’t become men; they become inmates – lifers whose development is stifled by institutionalization. Girls don’t mature to womanhood; they become baby-mamas who steal and prostitute their adult lives away, their growth strangled by the byproducts of institutionalization.

Mothers don’t stick around to watch their children grow. They abandon them at birth and escape their responsibility to return to the call of the crack-rock. Fathers don’t exist. It’s on the promise of hope that our aging grandmothers attempt to raise children 50 years their younger in their “golden years.” Then, you have the institutions that feed off this prevalent despair.

I have witnessed this all.

My nephew was a recent victim of systemic racism at the hands of an unethical judicial system. From the point of his arrest, he was treated as if he were guilty of a crime he had not committed. Yes, he is Black. And yes, he was with two Black boys the night of a robbery that took place near my mother’s house. Yes, it was late into the night.

But it was wrong for his White accuser – who was driven around in a San Francisco police car hours later for the sole purpose of identifying the assailants – to accuse them with the line, “Those must be them, the guys that robbed us. What other three Black guys are out at this time?” For the last three months, my nephew has been locked up for a crime he did not commit.

When he thinks back to his 21st birthday, my nephew’s memories won’t be of family, friends, a night with his girlfriend or even a hangover like most celebrating their first taste of adulthood. His memory will be of a cold cell, trapped night after night in the company of strangers, fighting for his freedom to be restored. This is all because a White man wanted so badly to accuse someone of robbing him and his girlfriend allegedly at gunpoint as they left a Haight Street bar.

You’re probably feeling conflicted, because human nature leads us to sympathize with the alleged victim. I’m sorry this man and his girlfriend were allegedly robbed of her purse containing medicinal marijuana, but the fact that there was no gun found, no purse found, and nothing at all that connected my nephew and his friends to the robbery should have been enough to force a further investigation of the alleged crime.

But that’s not what happened. A White couple had been allegedly robbed by three Black boys and someone had to pay! Because my nephew “fit the description” – Black in the wrong place at the wrong time – he had his first experience fighting the labyrinth of the criminal justice system.

Over the past three months, the prosecuting attorney tried to coerce my nephew and his two friends to admit guilt. They refused. At each court date, the prosecutor tried to push a deal, and each time the deal got sweeter. Each time my nephew and his two friends refused to deal.

“I’m innocent,” my nephew would say, over and over. He insisted he had an ATM receipt in his jean pocket the night of the arrest that would serve as his alibi. Finally, the prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge from a felony to a misdemeanor. This offer came July 22, four days shy of three months from their arrest.

On the evening of this final offer, on the ride from San Francisco County Jail back to San Bruno County Jail, the youngest of the three boys, just 18 years old, agreed he would accept the deal in exchange for all three to be released from prison — a place they should not have been in the first place. The system of bureaucracy had successfully broken his spirit. A warrior nonetheless, he was agreeing to sacrifice a bit of his future in order for his friends to be freed.

But every dog has his day. The next day, before the 18-year-old could accept the deal, the case was suddenly dismissed. There was no official explanation. Or an apology for the hell my nephew, his friends and our families have had to live for three months.

It made me think about what the system sees in us. It’s obvious we’re “throw-aways” in their eyes. Adult boys dependent on government assistance and adult girls relying on welfare for income because their skills aren’t marketable in the workforce. (And few employers will give them a chance. – ed.)

Poverty only trained them to hustle for food, run errands to keep a roof over their head and pounce on opportunity when it comes their way. An essential skill they can’t market is staying alive. Dodging stray bullets, avoiding gangs and saying “no” to drugs aren’t prerequisites for working in retail. In fact, if you’re born poor in the hood, you don’t see a mall or a food court until you’re old enough to venture beyond your hood, which, to be safe, you most likely won’t.

I’m speaking to depravity many can’t fathom unless they’ve witnessed it, like I have. Most people never ask what’s going to happen to the “crack-baby” or the young boy or girl who ages out of foster care. Many end up in jail or homeless.

We live in a nation that believes if you are separated from poverty, then the symptoms of poverty won’t affect you. But violence perpetuates violence and the predatory design of this country perpetuates violence upon the vulnerable through its institutions.

I’ve experienced incarceration as a crime against humanity. Homeless people are arrested for sleeping on the streets. People of color are arrested for hanging on their block with friends. Children in poor communities are arrested for horse-playing at school while their counterparts in affluent communities get detention.

What rational being believes you can cage a human being – made of the same flesh and blood but merely cut from a different cloth – and expect to produce an individual capable of love, respect, loyalty and independence? Our criminal and juvenile justice systems are irrational.

It is not a fair expectation to throw back into society someone you’ve treated worse than a stray animal, without education or love, and expect him to then stay out of the system. The punitive origin of the institution of incarceration cannot serve anything but pain and suffering – especially when the foundation of the institution has been replaced by backdoor deals and under-the-table exchanges.

In my eight years working in the juvenile and criminal justice field, I’ve heard the stories, I’ve cried with the families. I’ve attended the rallies and I’ve marched in the streets to fight human rights abuses. But it was not until this incident did I realize, I cannot and I will NOT fight injustice alone.

We must to tell our stories and unite through our pain. A victory is in the near future. Even through my tears I can see it.

For the people who awake every day to families torn apart by institutionalization, our journey is young but our fight is old. We must find our strength in the footprints of our creator.

Support real freedom and democracy in Africa

by the Africa Faith and Justice Network, Friends of the Congo, Hotel Rwanda/Rusesabagina Foundation, International Humanitarian Law Institute of Minnesota, Foreign Policy In Focus, Mobilization for Justice and Peace in Congo

In mid-July in Spain, Prime Minister Jose Rodriguez Zapatero refused to meet with Rwandan President Paul Kagame, who was visiting for a U.N. conference, after human rights defenders urged him not to and protesters took to the streets chanting “Kagame! War Criminal!”

President Obama said, in his 2009 speech in Accra, Ghana, that America should support strong institutions and not strong men. However, in the case of Rwanda, this has been no more than rhetoric. Rwandans, like most Africans, cheered Obama’s election, hoping that it might signal a new, more peaceful and cooperative relationship between the U.S. and Africa, but Obama has expanded AFRICOM, the U.S. Africa Command, and now he remains silent as Rwanda’s strongman, President Paul Kagame, prepares a sham presidential election to retain his brutal grip on power.

On Aug. 3, in Washington D.C., we, a coalition of Africa advocates, will gather at the National Press Club to call on President Obama and the U.S. State Department not to recognize the legitimacy of Rwanda’s upcoming Aug. 9 election results and to stop militarizing Africa and supporting repressive regimes.

“The U.S. policy has been to support strongmen,” says Maurice Carney, executive director of Friends of the Congo. “And at the head of the class is Paul Kagame, who has received military support, weapons, training and intelligence and as a result has been able to invade Rwanda’s neighbor, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and sustain proxy militia fighting there to rob the Congolese people of their natural resources. He has contributed to the death of over 6 million people in Congo and to the destabilization of Africa’s whole Great Lakes region.”

Assassinations, arrests, disappearances, imprisonment and torture of both politicians and press critical of Kagame have led up to Rwanda’s Aug. 9 presidential polls, and now the question is not “Will Rwanda’s August 2010 election be free and fair?” but “How much more violence will the population suffer from Rwandan police, military and security operatives?”

And how much longer will President Obama continue to support the brutal Kagame regime in the heart of Africa, even though 40 of Kagame’s top officers and officials have been indicted in both Spanish and French courts for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide? Kagame himself has not been indicted by these courts but only because he is a sitting head of state and indictment would therefore be a declaration of war.

Spanish protesters in mid-July want Kagame held accountable for genocide. Still applauded by the mainstream press only a few months ago, Kagame’s record is now being questioned and condemned by some of the most influential media in the world.

“Kagame is doing everything he can think of, including killing journalists, jailing and torturing political opponents and denying political opponents their constitutional right to register their parties to exclude them from the election. Because as soon as he loses the presidency, he is likely to be tried for all the mass killings he ordered,” says Rwandan exile, writer and activist Aimable Mugara, who now lives in Toronto.

All the viable opposition has been kept out of the election, but four Kagame allies have agreed to stand so as to make it appear that Rwanda is having a real election.

Victoire Ingabiré Umuhoza, Rwanda’s leading challenger to Kagame, is under house arrest and banned from the Aug. 9 ballot.

Leading presidential candidate Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, who was arrested and indicted on trumped up charges to prevent her from registering to run against Kagame, has said that she will not vote and has urged other Rwandans not to vote either. “We know that the military and police will use violence against the population,” Ingabire said, “but we have to fight for our rights. There is no reason to vote if you don’t have a choice.”

In May, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Johnnie Carson announced that the U.S. government plans to send a dozen teams of election observers to Rwanda before the Aug. 9 polls, but many Rwandans now say they will only be wasting U.S. taxpayers’ money.

“There is no reason to vote if you don’t have a choice.” – Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza

“Why do people seriously think of going there to observe elections?” asked Charles Kambanda, an American of Rwandan origin, former member of Kagame’s RPF Party and former professor at Makarere University in Kampala, Uganda. “Which elections are they going to observe? There is nothing to be observed, because what we have is a one-man show. What we have is a situation where the government has created the so-called opposition.

In this pre-1997 map, Congo is shown as Zaire.

“The RPF has kicked out all the real opposition leaders. They are either under house arrest, like Victoire Ingabire, or in prison or they are already dead or they are in exile.”

“Foreign election observers planning to go to Rwanda to observe the ‘election’ this August are wasting time and money,” said Aimable Mugara. “I would recommend that they stay in their countries and write their reports based on all the insane actions Gen. Kagame’s ruling party has taken since the beginning of this year, actions that make this so-called election null and void.”

The United States government has provided not only election observers but also over $1,034,000,000 in United States taxpayer-funded foreign assistance to Rwanda since 2000. An additional $240,200,000 is proposed in the president’s fiscal year 2011 budget.

Long time Black tenants in Vista Del Monte on Diamond Heights and on other scenic hills in San Francisco are being pushed out in favor of wealthier residents who covet their panoramic views. – Photo: Marion Merriouns

The United Farm Workers is an organization for the people led by Cesar Chavez, who fought for equal rights for Hispanic farm workers. The National Farm Workers is a separate organization, not to be confused with the United Farm Workers. The National Farm Workers have nothing to do with equality; in fact, this organization is trying to strong arm long time Afro American tenants out of their San Francisco apartments.

Vista Del Monte is a HUD-subsidized apartment complex located on Diamond Heights in San Francisco, one of the city’s highest and most scenic hills. The apartments were built in the early ‘70s for moderate to low income working families. Tenants have long been plagued, however, by a revolving door of incompetent managers and property owners. Because of management incompetency, tenants take the brunt of National Farm Workers’ mistakes.

In August 2009 Afro American and Hispanic tenants were targeted by a Vista Del Monte manager investigating unreported income. The manager threatened tenants with eviction if they refused to sign an investigation document called 4506-T, which would allow them to pull tax returns and W-2 records for the previous three years. Many tenants did have minor income issues, but the managers misrepresented the tenants’ income information to their superiors, the National Farm Workers. Some tenants were under investigation for six months or longer. Tenants are walking on eggshells.

Between 2006 and 2010, Vista Del Monte has had five different managers; two were fired for horrible tenant record keeping, and the tenants don’t know what happened with the other three managers. All of them were losing tenants’ birth certificates, social security cards, job paystubs, whole tenant files and verification forms. The property owners fired a maintenance man in 2002 for stealing tenants’ files. Many tenants had their identities stolen; their social security numbers were used in Los Angeles.

One tenant who we will name Lisa stated that the manager called her, accusing her of unreported income. She went to the office and was shocked to learn that the unreported income was earned in Los Angeles. Then the manager received a fax from the employer apologizing to Lisa, stating, “Your social security number was used by a man.” Lisa thought that would be it; however, the manager advised Lisa she is still responsible for the unreported income.

The manager also told Lisa she would have to sign the 4506-T form for an investigation. Lisa declined. The manager threatened Lisa, stating, “If you don’t sign the 4506-T, that will be cause for eviction and you will be sent a letter to meet with Sabrina Padama and Alfonso Trujillo of the National Farm Workers.” Lisa was intimidated and living in fear of losing her housing due to something that wasn’t her mistake.

Lisa sought help from Housing Rights of San Francisco, who sent a letter to the National Farm Workers on Lisa’s behalf. Lisa states: “I lost so much sleep behind management accusing me of unreported income. I knew it wasn’t my fault, but management was trying to intimidate me into thinking I was wrong. Tenants have to fight the National Farm Workers to stop their bullying tactics.”

Another problem was that many tenants didn’t keep their paperwork as evidence, so those tenants received bogus 60-day notices to move out or were strong armed into a repayment agreement for more money than they owed or could afford. Furthermore, tenants who submitted evidence of reported income to the National Farm Workers were told by the property supervisor: “During our investigation, your documents were not generated from our system, and the manager signatures and logos were cut and pasted. At this time the National Farm Workers are giving you 60 days to vacate, and you have to sign a repayment plan, plus you will be reported to the Attorney General for fraud.”

Tenants were not given a chance. And National Farm Workers are mainly targeting long time Afro American tenants, focusing on three- and four-bedrooms apartments. Once the National Farm Workers force them out, those apartments will increase to market rent.

Renee Collins has been living in her four-bedroom apartment at Vista Del Monte for 10 years. She was strong armed into signing a 4506-T investigation document by the manager. “I went to the office just to ask why hasn’t my rent been adjusted in six months,” she said. “Just that one question caused an unreported income investigation. I have been under investigation for almost a year. However, I gave management my evidence of reported income that was given to the previous managers in December of 2009. I didn’t hear back from management until April 29, 2010.

“When the National Farm Workers were in the office, I knew the issue was going to be resolved. Then all of a sudden, management told me my evidence was all phony. Then I was giving a 60-day notice to move. I was shocked. Then management told me to sign a repayment agreement for $18,000. I declined to sign.”

Ever since the current manager has been managing Vista Del Monte apartments, the National Farm Workers have ignored many tenant complaints for harassment. The manager has been intimidating me and my family. I’m a single mother with two boys, going to college for my master’s degree. I have been living at Vista Del Monte for 34 years.

The manager strong armed me into signing the 4506-T. I just went to the office to make corrections in my tenant file. The next thing I know, I’m under investigation. Almost seven months later, I was served with a bogus 60-day notice to vacate, then a 10-day notice to vacate.

I don’t why the manager is harassing me and using retaliation tactics on me – maybe because I’m the president of the Vista Del Monte Tenant Association. I’ve written letters to many politicians for help with investigating this so-called unreported income stuff by the National Farm Workers. However, I found out through the manager and director of property management that the National Farm Workers are angry with me because I have not vacated my apartment and I’m trying to bring tenants together to fight their evictions.

Recently the manager had her sister harass me, threatening to cause bodily harm. I had to request a temporary stay away order for the manager and her sister; well the judge stated the manager personally did not harm me, yet I’m in fear of the manager and her sister. Now I’m being harassed by the manager and her sister with legal papers; they falsely accused me of harassment. I have back to back court dates for issues I didn’t even do or have knowledge of. The manager is trying to push me out through retaliation, which is eviction.

This is just a small chip of tenants at Vista Del Monte Apartments being strong armed by the National Farm Workers. Housing Rights of San Francisco, Bay Area Legal and the Human Rights Commission have been overwhelmed with Vista Del Monte tenants complaining about retaliation, harassment and strong armed evictions. Housing Rights of San Francisco sent surveys out to tenants to report lost and missing tenant files, management not adjusting rent accordingly, missing HUD documents, and to address the question: Why are so many tenants under investigation by National Farm Workers?

Bay Area Legal is overwhelmed with Vista Del Monte tenants’ cases and the Human Rights Commission of San Francisco reported over 30 tenants are under investigation for unreported income of between $5,000 and $30,000. The real problem is the people under investigation are mostly Afro American tenants.

The National Farm Workers admitted to the Human Rights Commission that previous managers were improperly keeping tenant files. So tenants at Vista Del Monte are wondering why HUD hasn’t started any investigations on Vista Del Monte Apartments. Furthermore, why are tenants being served first with a bogus 60-day notice, then a 10-day notice, then an unlawful detainer? Why are tenants being reported to the Attorney General before going to trial? The National Farm Workers stance is let the judge figure it out. Many tenants don’t to know how to represent themselves, so many hard working families may be evicted due to the National Farm Workers’ mistakes.

Marion Merriouns, president of the Vista Del Monte Tenants Association, can be reached at marionbanks@sbcglobal.net. She would welcome any offers of help or advice.

WHITE RACE RIOTS

IN AMERICA

By Dr. Gregory E. Brown, Director, BHS Inc.

Between 1824 and 1951 there were over 300 events classified as “White Race Riots” in which entire white communities turned on and destroyed entire Black communities and murdered Blacks in mass. There were 26 such major events and hundreds of smaller ones in major cities and towns across the US during the summer of 1919 alone. This period has been tagged by historians as “The Red Summer of 1919”, because many of the events happened from May to October of that year and the blood of their victims literally painted the streets of America.

That year, tens of thousands of Black Americans were killed, maimed and 375,000 were made refugees, though never being given refugee status, all for economic, social, political and other reasons both real and imaginary. They even killed Blacks for recreation activities in rural areas in events called “Friday Night Boot Burnings” (the burning of a Black man at a stake or bonfire) or ” Picnic” (a slang term for pick a nigger for lynching} Lynching became a common weekly event to kill the monotony of rural life. It was not uncommon for whites to eat, drink, dance and sing church songs as they created a sadistic festive atmosphere, while their victims suffered from torture. White men, men women and children all participated in what was best described by Ida B. Wells-Barnett as ” An orgy of murder and mayhem.”

(I found this website to show you how most whites feel about you)

“We have all seen how the story of a nigger berf sow gets knocked up again and has no clue who dat baby daddy beez. The possible baby daddy joins a group of others on a TV show and the show foots the bill for DNA testing. Eventually the baby momma runs out of guys she has muh poosay’ed and a baby daddy is named. But not always.

The best is when the berf sow has named everybody she can think of and the DNA results can’t establish paternity. At such a time the berf sow suddenly “remembers” she had sex with a group of six or seven more bruthas while she was passed out or selling her muh poosay for drugs or money to pay that Rent-A-Center bill. All hope of finding the baby daddy is lost at that point, but whitey is still blamed. Not like it would do any good anyway. The baby daddy isn’t going to pay child support!

Since Rev. Al thinks Father’s Day greeting cards beez rayciss an sheeit, one of our staffers decided he would create a Father’s Day card just for the nigger community. We think this card will be the best seller next year!”

You cant possibly know where your going

until you know where you’ve been

(How do we at this point and time as black people forget who the real enemy is? How do we determine or even come up with the idea that our real enemy is “within”? I’m glad that this illusion is breaking down because your gona eat those words everyday that your alive during tyranny. We all know what the white man is capable of and we all know that when it comes time to choose between his life and yours, your life will mean nothing, it will be just another meal to survive another day, thats his nature!!!! I’m not a racist, but I’m not foolish to think that racism is over either, it will never be over as long as their is white supremacy!!!!)

I’m not feeling this at all!!! This is where the balance of being spiritual and being real comes into conflict!!!! This is no disrepect to Bobby I love the Black God dearly but I think hes very wrong on this!!!

1) With a vegetable/potato peeler, peel carrot and courgette lenthways into strips/ribbons.  Remember to turn the courgette after a couple of peels get a bit of green edge on some of the ribbons – makes it pretty!  Mix the ribbons together.
