London Breed is best -
when she talks from both sides of her mouth -
she can talk the talk - but there is NO - walk.
Realistically speaking when one hears Mayor London Breed and some the SF Board of Supervisors - we advocates -wonder on which " planet " are we living on.
They talk the talk - but when it comes to walk the walk - all we see is - " cheap comedy ".
Very little meaningful attention is given to our youth by our leaders - the Mayor London Breed and the SF Board of Supervisors.
SF Unified School District -
Superintendent Vincent Mathews -
keeps making promises -
and stops short of delivering - anything.
Our SF Public School are in a mess.
Even less by the Superintendent of the SF Unified School District - Vincent Matthews.
We have NOT has a single meaningful meeting with the YOUTH in the cockpit - making a " needs assessment ".
The paradox is we have the adults who are planing for the youth and young adults future.
The time has come to permit the " youth and young adults " - who have astute aspiration - and know what is best for them - the have little given them - to do well - and that time has come to help them as best we can. Talk is cheap.
It is shocking to see so many youth and young adults incarcerated more from the Black and Polynesian community.
Well some leaders in Sacramento have at last done a needs assessment for Asian youth and young adults - taking into consideration Cambodian, those from Viet Nam, Laos, Hawaii, Samoa, Tonga and more.
A consolidation of the community with smaller population has at last been done - and better, complete picture - can create a viable and sustainable - needs assessment.
Here is one of many document that can give you an idea - on the Asian and Polynesian community :
http://aapidata.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/AAPIReport-comp.pdf
We have yet to hear about the funding in place to make good things happen - but the important fact to note - there is an acute awareness - that our Asian and Polynesian youth - have a role to play - in the contribution of making better things happen - here in the United States.
No detail needs assessment has been made linked to Black youth and this one singular factor - is playing havoc in our Public schools - and in our communities - all over California.
California has a population of 340 million - many undocumented - we need a through " needs assessment " linked to the Latino youth and young adult population.
The Black youth and young adult population.
In Sacramento the Black assemblymen and Senators talk a lot - so do the Latino assembly men and Senators - the Asian assembly men and Senators are leading the away - and all this and more - has not be advertised - and should.
In our communities, in our institutions. within our churches, in our hospitals, at places where youth and young adults work - even our shopping malls have been adversely impacted - by violence.
Black youth and young adults - targeting stores - grabbing what they can - higher end and pricey clothing and other things of value that they can sell - and running away.
At other times - youth and young adults - going to our shopping malls and selling drugs - when they meet competition - they use their guns - much as they have been doing it - on the streets of San Francisco - in broad daylight.
Amos Brown is most comfortable -
when he has the mike -
and can make statements and promises -
none of which he has kept - our communities
of color - suffering.
We have pastors and other adults - looking at the current problem in a nonchalant manner.
As was the case at the meeting organized by Amos Brown - advertised to help the youth.
Showcasing - adults from Visitation Valley, China Town, Black business leaders, The Black Superintendent Vincent Mathews who lied to the public at large - others who are spokespeople for their organizations - but none of them - fight for the youth all over San Francisco - in the trenches.
Our Faith based organization can talk with all their might - but just like the homeless problems that is endemic to our Society.
The underlying issues with our youth and young adults - the killings and shooting - the lack of spirituality in our communities - the failing attendance in our churches of color.
Inherent the " toxic stress " - many families two and three families living in a one bed room and two bed room unit.
The lack of space, the lack of nutritional food, the lack of discipline - long hours of noise - lack of sleep, Toxic Stress is slowly killing those that are embedded in it - survival of the fittest - exercised every day.
It is not uncommon for children, youth, young adults - coming from such conditions - Toxic Stress - to leave their families - and strive to live on their own - they call that type of living " crashing".
Crashing in vacant cars, crashing in homes and buildings that are vacant.
They live in tents, living in filthy conditions - some youth taking a shower once a week.
All this and more - real suffering and experience - taken to the Public Schools - where these youth and young adult - try to survive.
Many youth and young adults - making " truancy " their mode of life.
The Pastors on Sunday preach - but they do not touch the subjects I have mentioned above.
The OGs meet and have BBQs - they eat, play loud music, food is in plenty, but not once - they organize something for the youth - the children and those that must have their day - but are forgotten.
We must have events for the youth and young adults - with the youth and young adult organizing and sponsored by the adults.
Where wholesome food is served and those organizations that purport to love the children, the youth, the young adults - have services offered - to bring about healing, stability, and a sense of being - " loved".
Naomi Kelly our City Administrator -
busy giving commendations to City employees -
she has done Nothing for the youth and
young adults - slowly dying from Toxic Stress -
she supervise over 23,000 employees.
We cannot depend on the City and County of San Francisco - our Mayor London Breed, our City Administrator Naomi Kelly, our Chief of Police William Scott, our Director of Human Rights Sheryl Evan Davis - other people of color - who do not give a damn - nor care for our youth and young adults.
It is not pretty to go to the hospital and find a loved one shot and dying.
Spend time in hospital - to see the end of a life - specially when the youth and young adult - is under 30 years - under 25 years - under 18 years - and in recent years even as young as 15 years old.
Those purporting to be Pastors, Teachers, Doctors, Nurses, Professional people, heads of City Departments, our City Administrator Naomi Kelly, our Mayor London Breed, our SF Board of Supervisors - are far away from " reality " - they have NO clue what is happening - at ground zero.
Our City and County of San Francisco - has an over $12.7 billion dollar budget.
Not much is set aside to have " spaces " - safe havens for our youth.
Our Human Rights Commission is busy fight for the Queer causes - and has been for the last 15 years.
Sheryl Evans Davis - has NO clue - what she can do - except, pander to her minions - that lack spirituality - and are full of ideas and concepts - that are mundane and worthless.
The Unfinished Agenda and Out Migration document - collecting dust on the shelves. Black are now 2% in San Francisco - and slowly that will be none.
Here is one document that may help you understand better the plight of the Black leaders - and more the crab mentality that is prevalent - at every level :
https://sfmohcd.org/sites/default/files/FileCenter/Documents/2127-Product%20I%2007-18-07.pdf
Our Police Chief William Scott loves to smile - but there is more - he has NOT seen the tears, the pain, the acute turmoil prevailing in the many families who face difficult times - more Black and Polynesian.
Once Public Housing built by the Department of Defense - with large rooms - paid for - a hundred time over - was handed over to Housing and Urban Development.
The City and County of San Francisco - created the SF Housing Authority and from its inception the SF Housing Authority - was steeped in corruption of the highest order.
Read more about the Housing and Development created in 1968 :
https://www.hud.gov/about/qaintro
We have the Mayor's Office of Housing and Economic Development - that is playing with fire.
The John Stewart Company, Mercy Housing, Bridge Developers - have all received grants - to help those that need help most.
In reality if you do not earn an income of over $150,000 for four - you cannot find anything decent to live - in San Francisco.
For all the talk that Mayor London Breed talks about - she is busy talking about Navigation Centers - that demean human existence - of course she comes from the " hood " mentality - that is inherent in her being - pathetic - she should know better.
London Breed makes $366,000 plus a year - to hell with the people - she loves her shopping, taking junkets - and having summit - titled " Invincible ".
Dykes and butches - hover around her - and London Breed loves to " pussyfoot " around - she and her minions - despicable.
Our youth and young adult - can be taken for a wild ride - for only so long.
Diabolical Supervisors like the one we have in District 10 - Shamann Walton - is all over the place - addressing mundane issues.
Shamann Walton has failed to help our Elders - he has just to visit the Bayview Library and see things for himself.
Shamann Walton - has just to visit 3rd Street and Palou - and see those sitting from early morning to late night - whiling away their time.
Once a pit stop was close to the circle - where those whiling away their time sat.
Now - the pit stop has been moved a little further.
None of the Public Schools in District 10 - are doing well - the worst Willie L. Brown Jr., Middle School and Visitacion Valley Elementary school.
Shamann Walton - once the President of the SF Unified School District - knows about the problems - but has done nothing at all.
Our Polynesian community is being used and not provided the holistic support.
The Polynesian community - more the leaders - must come together - those that comprehend Education, Safety, Housing, Transportation, Health issues, Environmental issues linked to Toxic Stress, spirituality that is fading into oblivion.
We untied when Joseph Taeotui - met his fate and death - at the hand of a coward - who shot him - near his home.
Joseph Taeotui - better known as " Jungle " is no more - but not his memory and his legacy.
We must build on his legacy - and time is running out.
