he said liberals wanted to get rid of it to focus campaigns on urban areas with large populations of minority voters. the result, he argued, would marginalize white voters. take a listen. >> in the large urban areas and blue states like new york and california minorities are substantial. look at the landscape. philadelphia, dallas-fort worth, miami, in all of these places the minority vote usually goes heavily to the democrats. talking points believe this is all about race. the left sees white privilege in america as an oppressive force that must be done away with therefore white working class voters must be marginalized and what better way to do that than center the voting power in the cities. summing up, left wants power taken away from the white establishment, they want a profound change in the way america is run. taking voting power away from the white precincts is the quickest way to do that. >> other than the afterkuan afri don't know what he's talking about. >> i don't know what he's talking about. >> it was in the script. he wasn't riffing. it's not just the electoral college

then i left the political beat for a while to cover housing and urban development, urban affairs. at the time, jack kemp was the secretary of housing and urban development in the first bush administration. a lot of things happened. for years and years, people have been ripping the government off. it was only now surfacing to the extent which this happened. it happened on my watch. i spent a lot of time covering was later called the hud scandal, covering misdeeds that had gone on in many cases years before and people went to jail for this. the other interesting thing about covering housing and urban development is that it taught me , once again, something i always suspected. whatever you bring from your background to your job, it always will inform you. for instance, i lived when i was growing up in buffalo, new york for a short time, in public housing. living in the projects was not an enjoyable experience. but years later, when i was covering people who were living in public housing and were trying to make ends meet i got , they were. i understood what the situations were in a wa

bringing urban used to place by the presidio and east bay regional parks where they have sound nature resource management practices balanced with positive recreation policies it is just a better experience i think that the city is doing a disservice to people who want to be able to use parks and want to feel like they belong to the nature environment and not separate the way that the natural area program has pan handcuffed and unable to move forward with the implementation of that plan for in many years is a huge disservice to our future generations and our parks particularly for people i think that sound management practices can code that with dogs and bikers and joggers any kind of outdoor recreation experience and preserve the bio diversity i think there is a huge imbalance and misrepresentation of the severity of tree remove removal and the severity of toxics with some of the control methods used in natural areas their sound practices i work in ancillary justice community that has 365 toxics sites not a single resident of the bayview people are more concerned with the hunters .5 a
