Mark this is an excellent piece! I will go further in saying that it is

essential that blacks have an equal voice on the committee

that sets policy at the station. Unless AND UNTIL this is accomplished the

station will be like the titanic AFTER it hit the iceberg- just waiting to

sink! Many of us realize the failings of our society and we are trying to

attain a REAL democracy. If we are sincere we must start by practicing it at

KPFK like RIGHT NOW or admit to hypocrisy! To assure that the station

is on solid ground the position of manager should be rotated month by month

starting with a known left wing BLACK followed by a left wing latino then a

left wing oriental and then a similar white. This rotation will give

minorities the edge that WE all need to keep the station strong! Star's

performance so far shows tragic weaknesses and the sooner we go to something

like what I suggested the better!<\/p>\n","contact":"jschmidt66@earthlink.net","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Rascism at KPFK can and must end for the station to survive as an effective instrument of truth in news media!","numcomment":2,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2002\/02\/14920.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":14948,"heading":"none really","article":"just a little info. oriental is a work that is used to refer to an inamiate object, such as a rug or form of potery.
