We did a 2 week vacation in Ca and visited my liberal aunt about 5 years ago.
The only crime we experienced was near Oakland, someone stole a suitcase my son in law foolishly sat next to the car when we were getting out for some reason.
Who ever stole it was a little biatch. They had to drag it as their arms were too puny, and the marks were in the gravel. I could easily carry one suitcase in each hand—love to throttle who ever did it.
Maybe national guard?
Nuke it from orbit.
Defund the police, then refund the police.
Ain’t no pleasing some folks.
Just put White men back in charge.
The democrats want the US to be like South Africa and exterminate all whites , well except white democrats ,LOL
“it’s surprising that no jurisdiction with significant minority majorities has made a push to rename the town or city “
I’ve been wondering what’s taking them so long myself.
White dude here. I was born in Oakland. Went to school there. It has a well earned horrible reputation, but it truly is a beautiful city. The Oakland Hills, Lake Merritt, the Fruitvale district...all gorgeous. I was all on board with the Democrats until the mid 1980’s (born in early 60’s) when in spite of this wonderful rhetoric, protests, and speechifying the democrats were putting out there, it occurred to me that nothing was getting better. In fact, things were getting worse.
My assumption was that eventually everyone would come to realize the same thing that I did and that things would naturally turn around by voting for people who were more than just talk. No one likes to feel unsafe...and that includes black people.
But the voters are just stuck on stupid, I’m sorry to say.
The anti-white rhetoric, the constant picking at the wounds of the historic injustices done to black people, the politicians that are in the pocket of the crime element in Oakland. It all simply prevents voters from being smart and politicians from doing the right thing.
Further contributing to the problem is college-educated white suburbanites. Even though they wouldn’t step foot in Oakland, as I do quite often, they throw in with the urban democrats as a way to get absolution from their guilt over being white or successful or simply as a way to seem worldly and caring. They are brain-dead idiots in my mind...probably don’t even truly follow politics like we do.
Don’t worry...I’m bring this home: The politicians love that we’re all against each other. It keeps them in power. At some point, one would think the typical Democrat voter would simply wise up an stop letting themselves be used by the race-hustlers and con men such as Gavin Newsom. But its been 40 years now...with no end in site. It’s heart breaking.
Interesting story; thanks.
OAKLAND was failing 40 years ago.
It only has gotten worse.
Oakland is indeed a beautiful city. And California is a beautiful state with rich resources. Both could be turned around with the right people in charge.
