Oakland has been a communist and black extremists/idiots paradise since the 1960’s.
If honoring an armed BPP thug is what they think is important, then they shouldn’t complain when their schools turn out imbeciles and incompetents.
Eldridge Cleaver later renounced his BPP days and activities and told the truth about what really happened, stuff that didn’t show up in the media.
Also, his book “Soul on Ice”, was reportedly more fiction than truth, esp. he claims about raping white women. Got this from a fed investigator in the know.
PS: As a sidebar: Hillary worked for Charles R. Gary (Communist Party USA member and supporting lawyer) who had headed the defense of the radicals known as the “Oakland 7”.
This was a precursor tactical run for the Chicago 7 trials. If it worked, i.e. disrupting the court, discrediting the witnesses and the judge, and creating media chaos/publicity, then it would be adopted for the Chicago 7 trial.
I got this directly from William Kunstler at a meeting in DC in March 1969.
Hillary worked with Gary at the New Haven Black Panther torture-murder trial of the BBP killers of their own member Alex Rackley. In fact the law firm that Gary was a senior member of, was a CPUSA westcoast legal asset (Burstein, Treuhaft, DOris Brin Walker, Charles R. Gary).
Hillary’s ties to communists/Marxists was not just with Alinsky and continued into the 1990’s.
“Oakland has been a communist and black extremists/idiots paradise since the 1960’s.”
My parents moved to the Bay Area in 1936. When I was old enough to understand, they told me that back when they first arrived the “professors” at UC Berkely were openly talking about making berkeley the first Communist City in the country. We lived in Oakland right after the end of WWII in a very nice appt house near Lake Merritt. Now that neighborhood has gone completely minority and it’s not a place I’d go after dark. Oakland’s problem IS THE MINORITIES, AND THE PEOPLE THEY ELECT. All of the problems there are as a consequence of WWII and it’s aftermath, and the Berkeley professors.
