About

I am the young brother seated during my formative years in the Black Panther Party for Self Defense with a far off look of optimism, hope and determination. I was born and raised in Oakland. I finished my education in Oakland Unified Public School before graduating from Merritt Jr. College, San Francisco State University, and Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. I also completed the elementary school credentialing program at state when I first met Dr. Marcus Foster.  I knew Chauncey Bailey. We always called him Chauncey. We understood that Chauncey was just Chauncey. He wasn’t a Gary Webb type of investigative journalist by any means.  We knew that we could depend on Chauncey to do an occasional story of particular interest to the Oakland Black Community if it wasn’t too hot. He did a landmark story for me on the scandalous affairs of conservatorships and the abuse of Black elders in Oakland before he felt some heat from reactionary forces. Chauncey also did some milestone stories for us on public trust land issues developed by Dr. Henry Williams and its misuse and abuse in Oakland. Chauncey didn’t deserve to die like that. Chauncey assassination involved some heavy Family Jewels and hitters in Oakland. I also did some work with one of the late Yusef Bey’s former wives to expose his kid-rape molestation agenda before his 2003 indictment, but early on we discovered that he was protected from the top of Oakland and maybe California. Child Protective Services entered the scene and threatened to take her children if she continued to pursue the Bey Rape-Molestation Scandal. Neither Dr. Foster or Chauncey deserved to be blown apart in the public street with shotgun blasts. Someone or something far more powerful than a group of misguided young Black manchilds continues to send deadly messages to the Oakland Black Community.
