Reclaiming a neighborhood
Once a haven for all

When Karla Acosta moved
to the 39th Street and Western
Avenue neighborhood a couple
of years ago, she looked forward to her two children playing happily in the park just five
minutes away.
But she got a rude awakening on finding out that Martin
Luther King Jr. Park and the
$20 million Bethune Regional
Branch Library next to it
had become a magnet for all
sorts of ills — gang activity,
prostitution and flagrant public
drunkenness.
“One time I walked into the
bathroom and there was a man
and a woman in there,” Acosta
recalled in horror.
However, last weekend,

BALDWIN HILLS — After
considerable pressure from
residents who are dissatisfied
with what they saw as a rushed
environmental impact report on
oil fields here, the Los Angeles
County Board of Supervisors
has allocated $155,000 for an
immediate
comprehensive
health assessment of the area.
“This health assessment is
being done in response to the
concerns that were voiced by
residents who live in the vicinity of the Baldwin Hills Oil
Fields,” said Karly Katona, Los
Angeles County Supervisor
Mark Ridley-Thomas’ deputy
for sustainability. “This will be
a more comprehensive analysis
that will allow us to look further
at these issues and there will
be three components to it.”
The survey, which will be
conducted by the Field Research
Corporation over the summer,
will be directed to roughly 1,000
residents randomly identified
from households living in eight
zip codes within the Baldwin
Hills area.
Neighborhoods such as

Leimert Park, Ladera Heights,
Inglewood, View Park and
Windsor Hills, are surrounded
by the two-square-mile site
known as the Baldwin Hills
Oil Field, the last largely undeveloped open area in South
and West Los Angeles.
By way of 15-minute phone
interviews — in both English
and Spanish — residents will
be asked questions that address
quality of life issues, odors,
noise, vibrations, and specific
health conditions that have been
reported by those living in the
vicinity of the oil fields.

Profiling, retaliation
by Torrance Police?

hat’s it like to be Black and gay in Hollywood? Two words: not easy. That topic was broached by a panel of actors,
writers, producers and directors last week in a conference room at the Writer’s Guild of America West’s 3rd Street
headquarters. As a standing-room-only crowd listened intently, actress Sheryl Lee Ralph moderated a wide-ranging discussion that touched on issues both commonplace and taboo. The dais was populated by one of Tinseltown’s
smallest demographics: film and television artists who are African-American, gay and out. After answering questions from Ralph
for about an hour, the panel responded to queries from the audience for about 30 minutes. The conversation was bracingly immediate, often humorous and sometimes poignant. Here are some highlights. Photos by Gary McCarthy

The DL Chronicles
“It’s interesting. What we find is that
the actors who identify as straight are
more willing to play on [‘The DL
Chronicles’] than those that aren’t. …
But I understand it. I’m not belittling
anyone for the choices that they make. I
understand why openly gay actors — at
least, at home, amongst their friends
— are less willing to play. It’s because
they’re afraid that taking on a role like
that would be instant career death. Because, somehow, I don’t know if they
think that maybe because it’s already
kind of in the air — what their sexuality
is — that to do the role kind of endorses that. So that’s the situation we have
with the show. Moreover, just in general numbers, period, there’s not a whole
bunch of people knocking down the
door to play on ‘The DL Chronicles.’
That’s kind of the dynamic we’ve had
on the show. And there’s a lot of tugging
and finessing that we have to do, to kind
of create an atmosphere. We have to be
really honest and let them know what
scenes are going to be required and how
safe the set is going to be. We have to
go through a lot of finessing to even get
the people who are willing to kind of
come to the audition to physically …
show up to the room.”

Actor, My So-Called Life,
He’s Just Not That Into You
“If we don’t make it a priority for
ourselves as a community that the goal
is for all of us to be out and still do our
work, then no one will ever come out.
No one will ever decide to come out
because it won’t be a priority for us.
People won’t understand why it’s important to come out. I’m talking about an
ideal. I think it’s important to have that
ideal and to voice that ideal, because
we don’t hear it enough. We don’t hear
it enough from gay artists who come
out and say, ‘I don’t want to be out here
by myself. I need company. I need reinforcement.’ And unless we voice that, no
one’s going to know that it’s needed.”
“I would be a liar if I said that [coming out] had not affected my career.
Of course it did. Has it enriched my
career? Absolutely. Because I feel like
I was able to use what work I did do
to actually say something about my
experience here and to illuminate the
experience of people I know. Would I
have had a different career? Absolutely.
But would it have been better? I don’t
know.”

Robert Taylor, a local minister, says officers have harassed
him since he filed an official complaint about racial profiling.
BY OLU ALEMORU

“GLAAD produces a report that’s kind
of a grade for the [television] networks
on the representation. They grade the
representation of recurring or regular
LGBT characters on broadcast and on
cable. They’ve done this for 14 years.
What I find interesting, when you track,
is that … the numbers hover around the
same for the last 10 to 12 years. There’s
kind of slight variations. So if Network
A has 7% of LGBT characters this
year, in a couple of years they’ll have
10%, in a bad year they’ll have 5%, then
they’ll go back up to 11%. But they’re
kind of never really bursting through
with characters. Part of that analysis
also looks at the racial and ethnic
makeup of those characters, and those
numbers don’t change, either. So, in
terms of whether there’s a commitment
there, I think the proof’s in the pudding.
It doesn’t really appear to be a thrust
to kind of shift it where the characters
would be, say, more African-American
than not or more Latino than not. What
I think [the networks] are trying to do
is figure out, How can I get the marketing value out of these categories of
people without having to really change
the tone and the tenor of the programming that I’m making to really speak
to that audience?”

Lloyd remembered as

Funeral services for Charles
E. Lloyd, the Southland icon
who rose from the depths of Jim
Crow Mississippi to become one
of California’s most successful
and famous trial lawyers, will
be held Thursday morning at
Holman Methodist Church at
11 a.m.
Lloyd, 76, died March 30 following a long illness and an
illustrious career that took him
from jobs as a Los Angeles
police officer, to a prosecutor
in the city attorney’s office, to
a defense attorney in partnership with a fabled former Los
Angeles mayor, to a stellar turn
as a defender of the rich and
the poor that earned him acco-
lades and honors from the highest levels of the legal profession,
the U.S. government and the
African-American community
he served.
Lloyd, who was familiarly
called “Charlie,” was born —
the second of seven children —
on July 3, 1934 in Indianola,
Miss. He attended Indianola
Colored High School, where
he was the quarterback and
captain of the football team
and president of his 1952
graduating class.
He came to California with
12 cents in his pocket when he
was 18. At age 20, he took the
police exam; at 21 he joined
the police force and at age 23
he received his bachelor’s
degree from what is now Cal
State Los Angeles. He worked

INGLEWOOD — The leadership crisis in the city deepened this week with the resignation of Chief Financial Officer
Jeff Muir, the third high-profile departure in an exodus that
has included former mayor
Roosevelt Dorn and ex-
city administrator Timothy
Wanamaker.
The stunning news comes
just a week after Muir gave a
special presentation that looked
at the city’s troubling financial
picture. According to council
spokesman Ed Maddox, no official announcement has been
made. “I don’t know the exact
date he resigned,” Maddox
told The Wave at press time
Wednesday. “It was probably
either Tuesday or Wednesday.
Right now, I can’t say for certain
if the council or Mr. Muir are
going to issue a statement.”
Calls to each member of the
city council were not returned at
press time. Interim city administrator Sheldon Curry also
declined to comment.
However, the reaction has
been one of dismay and incredulity. “It looks like everbody is
trying to jump ship,” said mayoral candidate Lorraine Johnson.
“The city is in a bad state of
affairs with top administration
staff resigning left, right and
center. There is no leadership
at the head of the council and
this could prove deadly with all
the budget and financial issues
the city is facing.”
Meanwhile, fellow candidate
and former Inglewood Police
deputy chief James T. Butts said
that with every crisis comes
opportunity. “This is a chance
for others to step up and do
the vital things that need to get
done,” he said, “so we can give
our residents, businesses and
children the city they deserve.”

Roundtable’s
offices
in
Inglewood. Taylor’s Doors
To Heaven Ministries, a nondenominational organization, is
based in the same office building as the civil rights organization.
Joining Taylor in his meeting with federal investigators,
in which he submitted evidence, was activist Earl Ofari
Hutchinson and Lita Herron
of the Youth Advocacy Group.
Peter Sebring of the American
Civil Liberties Union was also
present at the meeting.
Hutchinson revealed that civil
rights leaders are planning a
town hall meeting in Torrance
where they are urging racial profiling victims to come forward
and tell their stories publicly.
“In conjunction with the
ACLU, we are going to do a
town hall meeting and essentially hear people who have had
adverse experiences with the
Torrance police department,”
Hutchinson said. “We want to
know who they are and what
they experienced because that’s
the only way we can establish
if there’s a systemic pattern and
practice of racial profiling.”
Taylor filed a complaint after
he claimed he was stopped
“without just cause” March 4
while driving his white 1997
Ford Thunderbird after picking up his 15-year-old daughter
from North High School.
Police said Taylor’s car
matched the description of one
used in a violent abduction and
robbery of an elderly woman the
day before outside the Target
store at Madrona and Sepulveda
boulevards.
The suspects, who were
described as a dark-skinned
Black man and the female, a
light-skinned Black woman,
remain at large.
However, Taylor obtained
stills from surveillance camera
footage of the two suspects, and
maintains that the man “looks
nothing like me” and the female
suspect “doesn’t look anything
like my daughter, who is 15
years old.”
Taylor also showed a photo
of the suspect’s car — which
although it is white, has “no tail
spoiler, which is clearly visible
on my car.”
In another incident that
occurred April 4 at about 10:15
p.m., Taylor alleges that he was
deliberately “targeted” again
by police when dropping his
daughter off, this time at a relative’s home in Torrance.
He said a police car drove by
him slowly and officers shined
their bright flashlights into his
face. According to Taylor, he
asked if there was a problem,
but they kept looking at him
“menacingly” and then drove
off.
But a police department
spokesman said that officers
said they saw a white
Thunderbird idling with its
lights on in a red zone on the
east side of Prairie Avenue near
182nd Street and drove by it
shining their flashlights to see if
it was occupied.
The spokesman added that
once they recognized it was
Taylor they decided to keep
moving.
Taylor remains skeptical, and
wonders how the officers could
identify the red zone in the
dark, and why they did not
attempt to cite him if they
believed his car was parked illegally.
“I feel very convinced that
the FBI will look into this situation,” Taylor said in an interview
with The Wave on Monday. “I
wasn’t sure where this incident
was going because I was told
by the Torrance police department that three weeks after the
[initial] incident occurred they
had not interviewed anyone.
“Now that the FBI has interviewed me, maybe they will
step in and find out exactly
what is going on in the Torrance
police department.”
He added: “I’m hoping the
FBI will open up an investigation into [the] Torrance Police’s
practice of illegal and unwarranted stops and profiling and
harassment of all minority citizens.”
According to Det. Hector
Bermudez, who is investigating
the case for the department’s
internal affairs, the “process is
ongoing.”
“It’s not accurate to say
that nothing has happened,”
Bermudez said, adding that the
officers involved in the incidents had not been interviewed.
“The case has been opened
and everybody in the case will
be questioned. It takes a while.
But police officers have due
process — just because someone
makes a complaint, it doesn’t
mean it’s true. By law, we have
to investigate within a year and
[I’m sure] we’ll be done before
that.”
Reached for his response,
Torrance Police Chief John Neu
declined to comment.
“It’s an ongoing personnel
matter so he won’t be making a
statement,” said another police
spokesman, Lt. Patrick Shortall.

Study to explore health trends in
communities near Baldwin Hills
HEALTH from page A1
The assessment will additionally look at three components:
Mortality rates and patterns in
the selected population based
on death certificates provided
by the Department of Public
Health; cancer rates and patterns based on data gathered
by the University of Southern
California Cancer Surveillance
Program; and data reported in
a 2007 community survey,
regarding self-reported illnesses
such as asthma and other upper
respiratory conditions.
The 2007 survey collected information about health
status, health-related behaviors and access to and use of
health care or preventive health
services, and is the basis upon
which the assessment will follow.
“This [upcoming] study
responds to the Baldwin Hill
community’s concerns over
their health and safety. It will
be an important step towards
understanding and monitoring
any health trends in that community,” said a statement by
Ridley-Thomas, who in collaboration with the Department of
Public Health are working with
the communities to formulate
questions for the survey. “In
order to analyze the Baldwin
Hills Community’s health concerns in a meaningful way, the
community survey must use
the same survey methods as
those used to conduct the 2007
study.”
This, he noted, will allow
the Department of Public
Health to compare data for each
survey and provide a baseline
for evaluation of future health
impacts.
But some residents and community organizations do not
feel the assessment is inclusive
enough.
“It seems as if it is just a
PR puff piece because they do
not want to try to determine
any causality with this thing.
If they are really concerned
about the effects, air emissions,
leaking wells, leaking tanks, or
leaking fixtures, it should be
more specific than this,” said
Culver City resident and cochair of the county’s public
health committee Paul Ferazzi.
“It is still being developed but
it revolves around a 15 minute
phone survey. The way I see,
I don’t see how you could
possibly get the kind of questions that you have to ask in that
amount of time. It is just going
to be a superficial thing.”
Windsor Hills resident Gary
Gless, who is also co-chair
of the county’s public health
subcommittee, agreed that the
study will not do much for the
community and that the “true”
questions needed for an assessment are more in depth.
A real comprehensive study,
he said, would require agencies to go door-to-door and
spend more than 15 minutes
asking questions about health,
odors and property damage. In
addition, he believes it would
require surveyors to test the
residents’ soil and vacuum their
homes to study the particulate
matter they are breathing, then
go back to the field to see if
those same particles are in the
soil or are being emitted from
the drills. At that point, the
particles can be analyzed to
determine whether they have
cancer-causing agents.
Community Health Councils,
which has been at the forefront
of advocating residents’ rights
in the matter, is urging the
county to work with the South
Coast Air Quality Management
District, the water board and the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency to take a better look at
air quality. In addition, they are
calling for ground water and
surface water testing, as well as
soil testing.
The previous environmental impact report, said CHC
Executive
Director
Lark
Galloway-Gilliam was not
localized and included areas
near the LAX airport and I10 freeway, which caused the
organization and some residents to believe that the study
was faulty in terms of getting
a conclusive analysis of health
impacts to those living in the
direct vicinity of the oil field.
“There is some data but
there was a lot missing,” added
Galloway-Gilliam. “It relied
on air quality information that
is gathered around the airport
versus actually on this field.
Water testing and stuff didn’t
really happen. … People want
to know their exposure. There
was a dissatisfaction in the
depth of that study. There was
no real surveying of people.”
According to Katona, the
EIR did not reveal any significant health impacts to the communities surrounding the oil
fields.
John Pierce, project manager with Marine Research
Specialists who was hired by
the county to prepare the EIR,
contends that more than 100
soil samples were taken. The
study, as well as another conducted by the South Coast
AQMD a few years back of
the entire L.A. Basin, found
that “the level of health risk
is pretty high, but the main
driver is diesel particulate from
mobile sources on highways
and roads,” he said, estimating
the health risk in the Baldwin
Hills area “was less than 10.”
The Citizens Coalition for a
Safe Community, a nonprofit
formed to protect the environmental health and safety of
citizens of Los Angeles
County, conducted their own
survey, which they say is
much more in line with what
residents have reported. Results
from the 34-question survey showed that 62.9 percent
of the residents have smelled
odors coming from the oil field.
Of those 30 percent either
have cancer or have family
members living with them who

Neighbors celebrate a new day in South Los Angeles community
NEIGHBORHOOD from page A1
Ricardo, 10, Ruby, 9 and
their 11-year-old friend Karla
Flores — joined scores of local
families to celebrate the neighborhood’s turnaround at a
“Family Fun Eggstravaganza”
at the park.
The event was organized
by the grassroots Community
Coalition of South Los Angeles,
which has helped residents
launch a two-year campaign to
revitalize the park and its surrounding area.
In scenes that reflected a
perfect example of community
involvement and racial harmony, Black, Latino, Asian and
White residents were treated to
music, food and the traditional
Easter egg hunt.
A focal part of that effort has
been cleaning up nearby businesses, especially the Century
Market liquor store on the corner of 39th and Western.
In the past year, residents
won and maintained strict conditions on the business, which
has reduced negative activity
around the park. They also won
significant new and improved
resources for the park, including new basketball and tennis
courts.
“Today is all about celebrating how the residents have
reclaimed their neighborhood in
order to live in a safe and happy
environment,” said coalition’s
president and CEO Marqueece
Harris-Dawson. “The LAPD
had shown crime figures for
this neighborhood that were
double for comparable areas.”
He added: “The residents
did it by coming together and
pressurizing the city. We vowed
to get the mayor down here
and when he came and walked
the block he was shocked with
what was going on.
“He went back and talked to
his staff and asked them what
they could do to help. It’s an
example of what people can do
if they work together.”
Acosta, a resident community leader who works for A
Community of Friends, a neighborhood housing center that
helps low-income families,
agreed.
“The transformation has been
great,” she said. “You see more
families and kids using the
park now and the new playground and basketball court
is the kind of investment we
need.”
Les Benson, a 74-year-old
retired city worker and fellow
neighborhood resident leader
who has lived across from the
library for decades also praised
the turnaround.
“Two years ago the park
was like a breeding ground,”
he recalled. “Gang members
would meet there to plan their
things. Homeless people would
buy liquor from the store and
go drink it in the park. …
Prostitutes would use the side
streets behind the store for their
business. I’ve seen the gang
members grow up to have kids
and teach them the negative
ways of the streets.
“But little by [little] we made
change happen. With help from
the mayor’s office and cooperation from the police, we got
services for some of the homeless. They had a choice to either
go to a shelter or spend time in
jail.”
Benson said he also laid a
similar truth on the elder gang
members.
“I said to them, ‘You’ve got
kids now, maybe a son and a
daughter and you’re on two
strikes,’” revealed Benson.
“Well, a third strike will put
you away forever and what if
another man comes into your
family and starts messing with
your kids. You couldn’t do anything about it. They would say,
‘Mr. Benson I never thought
about it like that.’”
It’s that kind of realization
that activist Karume James,
who is the coalition’s 39th and
Western’s block leader, hopes
to foster and continue.
“For the last 18 months we
have been going door to door
surveying the community for
their ideas on how we can
improve the neighborhood,” he
said. “And what you’re seeing
today is the fruits of that. But
we have to keep up the pressure on our local officials and
the businesses that serve this
community to be responsible
because this kind of pride is
how it should be.”
Some fear

have cancer.
A map of the area also shows
an overlay of where odors and
cancer claims have been detected. According to it, those with
cancer — lung, brain, bladder,
breast, prostate and lymphoma
— are also those who have
smelled odors. Another set group
claimed they suffer from upper
respiratory illnesses — such as
asthma and chronic bronchitis
— cardiovascular disease and
immune system disorders.
Despite this apparent coincidence, no party can be sure that
the two are the result of oil drilling activity.
County officials say they
expect that the study will only
provide an overall view of the
current health of the population,
not conclusive information on
the causes of reported disease
and illness.
“Of course,” said GallowayGilliam, “scientists will tell you
that there is no way to make
a connection between the high
rates of cancer, which we know
we have, the high rates of heart
disease, which we know we
have, and drilling.”
And while this is understood
by Baldwin Hills resident Irma
Munoz, who believes that more
in depth studies and tests could
in fact determine if there is a correlation, “we deserve the right to
know either way.”

Breast
Cancer
Treatment
2010 Breast
cancer continues to be
the leading cancer
in women
with over 178,000 new cases detected
yearly. The diagnosis is an inevitably life-altering, frightening experience for patients. New treatments are
being developed at an unprecedented pace and navigating the maze of
options available can be overwhelming and difficult for those affected
by breast cancer. Women need information in order to be active participants in their care. Dr. Sara Hurvitz
(pictured), assistant professor in the
Department of Medicine, Division of
Hematology/Oncology at the David

Help is on the way
BY LAURA RICHARDSON
ince 2000, many of us
have experienced the
toughest of times (see
accompanying graphic). Record
unemployment,
financial
turmoil and spikes in neighborhood crime.
Our
communities
in
particular have been among the
hardest hit for several reasons.
Because of the failure to provide
adequate investments in underserved communities, the people
there have seen only minimal
results. While downtown Los
Angeles is bursting at the seams
with positive growth, the neighborhoods surrounding the city
have witnessed only closures,
not openings.
I would like to think that help
was coming, but unfortunately relief was nowhere in sight,
until the entire country felt the
pain. As the representative of the
37th Congressional District, I
think now is the perfect time
to share with you some of the
help that is available.
First, I have opened a satellite office in every city (Carson,
Compton, Long Beach and
Signal Hill), where we can help
constituents with long overdue
assistance on Medicare, Social
Security and veterans claims.
So far we have helped more
than 423 individual cases.
Second,
the
American
Recovery and Reinvestment
Act was passed to put money
into the economy and help
people get on the right track
again. Here are just a few
examples: tax credits for hiring
recently discharged unemployed
veterans and out of work youth;
$120 million for community service jobs for low-income older
S
Americans; extended unemployment benefits and increased
amounts for 20 million jobless workers; $19.9 billion to
increase food stamp benefits
by 13 percent; $100 million for
elderly nutrition services like
Meals on Wheels; Payment of
$250 for Social Security receivers, Railroad Retirement beneficiaries, and disabled veterans receiving VA benefits; $2.1
billion for Head Start to lowincome preschool children;
made college more affordable
by increasing the Pell Grant
by $500 for a maximum of
$5,550; $500 million to help
persons with disabilities prepare for gainful employment;
repaired and modernized public
housing.
Third, some of the helpful upcoming workshops we
intend to have for you are the
“Annual Senior Briefing,”
“People’s Congress,” “Getting
a Government Contract” and
“Immigration/VISA 101.” I
strongly believe that information and access to services are
deeply needed in our community.
For two-and-a-half short
years, I have been fortunate to
serve the people of the 37th
District. In the last month, I
have submitted bills that, if
passed into law, will provide
major benefits to our community and the nation. This legislation includes the Expanding
Opportunities
for
Older
Americans Act of 2010, which
will help low-income senior
citizens that need to work
to make ends meet, but cannot afford to lose benefits they
are receiving; and the Not Too
Small to Succeed in Business
Unemployment Foreclosures
Carson 12.8 percent 1 in every 122 families
Compton 21 percent 1 in every 96 families
Long Beach 14.2 percent 1 in every 220 families
Signal Hill 9.6 percent Not Available
Act of 2010, an amendment to
the Small Business Act (SBA)
so more small businesses qualify as “economically disadvantaged,” giving them access to
valuable resources to help them
succeed. Another piece of legislation I’ve introduced is the
Drivers Accelerated Interest
Deductibility Act, which would
allow people to deduct car
payment interest on their taxes
when the national unemployment rate is 7 percent or higher,
which would help many who
missed out on the “Cash for
Clunkers” program last summer.
Finally, just days ago, I supported the biggest reform of the
health care system in a generation. The legislation makes
it possible for families to afford
prescription drugs and decent
health insurance, and it means
pre-existing conditions like diabetes and heart conditions will
no longer prevent you from
getting coverage.
It has been, and will continue to be, my goal to improve
the lives and communities of
those I represent. Whether these
improvements happen through
legislation or at the more personal level of helping someone
get their federal benefits, it is a
position I am honored to hold
and I look forward to working hard with my staff to help
meet the needs of all the grandmothers, grandfathers, mothers,
fathers, brothers, sisters and
children of California’s 37th
Congressional District.
Rep. Laura Richardson is a
member of the U.S. House of
Representatives.
Groundbreaking leader, attorney
LLOYD from page A1
as a policeman at night and
attended USC’s law school during the day and earned his law
degree in 1961.
He resigned from the LAPD
and took a position as prosecuting attorney in the criminal division of the city attorney’s office, where he set about
winning 140 jury trials of the
145 he tried. This success rate
led to his promotion to chief
trial deputy, making him the
first African-American to supervise a staff of 25 lawyers.
Lloyd went into private practice in 1964 and a year later he
became the senior partner in the
firm of Lloyd, Bradley, Burrell
and Nelson. His Bradley partner was another former black
LAPD cop who would go on to
become the city’s only AfricanAmerican and longest-serving
mayor, Tom Bradley.
For the next 30 years, Lloyd
blazed a spectacular career
representing the interests of
community residents in all
walks of life — from the richest
to the poorest — earning him
the highest rating in criminal
law from Martindale-Hubble
Inc. He was named Trial
Attorney of the Year (1992) by
the Los Angeles County Bar

Charles E. Lloyd died March 30. Services are scheduled for
April 8 at Holman United Methodist Church at 11 a.m.
Assn., and received a commendation for outstanding achievements in the field of law from the
city of Los Angeles. Lloyd also
received a U.S. Congressional
Award for Public Service,
and the President’s Award for
Outstanding Achievements as
an Attorney from the San
Fernando Bar Association.
Lloyd received honors for
his work from community
groups such as the Brotherhood
Crusade, the USC Black Law
Students Association and the
National Bar Association, and
he was inducted into the John
M. Langston Bar Association
Hall of Fame and was last
year’s recipient of the Los
Angeles Criminal Courts Bar
Association’s Johnnie Cochran
Memorial Award for Lifetime
Achievement.
Lloyd is survived by his wife,
attorney Anslyene Abraham
Lloyd; his daughter, Janet
Marie; three grandchildren, four
great-grandchildren, four siblings and a number of nieces,
nephews and in-laws. In lieu of
flowers, the family requests that
donations be made in Lloyd’s
name to the American Cancer
Society or to the City of Hope.

One White man’s take
on modern racism and 54%
the Obama presidency
DIGITS
Numbers shaping news and
opinions this week
BY ANDREW M. MANIS
or much of the last 40
years, ever since America
“fixed” its race problem
in the Civil Rights and Voting
Rights Acts, we White people
have been impatient with AfricanAmericans who continued to
blame race for their difficulties.
Often we have heard Whites ask,
“When are African-Americans
finally going to get over it?
Now I want to ask:
“When are we White
Americans going to get over our
ridiculous obsession with skin
color?
Recent reports that “Election
Spurs Hundreds of Race Threats,
Crimes” should frighten and infuriate every one of us. Having
grown up in “Bombingham,”
Alabama in the 1960s, I remember overhearing an avalanche
of comments about what many
White classmates and their parents wanted to do to John and
Bobby Kennedy and Martin
Luther King. Eventually, as you
may recall, in all three cases,
someone decided to do more
than “talk the talk.”
Since our recent presidential
election, to our eternal shame we
are once again hearing the same
reprehensible talk I remember
from my boyhood.
We White people have controlled political life in the
disunited colonies and United
States for some 400 years on this
continent. Conservative Whites
have been in power 28 of the last
40 years. Even during the eight
Clinton years, conservatives in
Congress blocked most of his
agenda and pulled him to the
right. Yet never in that period
did I read any headlines suggesting that anyone was calling for
the assassinations of presidents
Nixon, Ford, Reagan, or either
of the Bushes. Criticize them,
yes. Call for their impeachment,
perhaps. But there were no bounties on their heads. And even
when someone did try to kill
Ronald Reagan, the perpetrator
was a non-political mental case
who wanted merely to impress
Jodie Foster.
But elect a liberal who happens to be Black and we’re back
in the ‘60s again. At this point in
our history, we should be proud
that we’ve proven what conservatives are always saying — that
in America anything is possible,
EVEN electing a Black man as
president. But instead we now
hear that school children from
Maine to California are talking
about wanting to “assassinate
Obama.”
Fighting the urge to throw up,
I can only ask, “How long?”
F
How long before we White
people realize we can’t make
our nation, much less the whole
world, look like us?
How long until we White people can — once and for all — get
over this hell-conceived preoccupation with skin color?
How long until we White people get over the demonic conviction that White skin makes us
superior?
How long before we White
people get over our bitter resentments about being demoted to
the status of equality with nonWhites?
How long before we get over
our expectations that we should
be at the head of the line merely
because of our White skin?
How long until we White people end our silence and call out
our peers when they share the
latest racist jokes in the privacy of
our White-only conversations?
I believe in free speech, but
how long until we White people
start making racist loudmouths
as socially uncomfortable as we
do flag burners?
How long until we White
people will stop insisting that
Blacks exercise personal responsibility, build strong families,
educate themselves enough to
edit the Harvard Law Review,
and work hard enough to become
President of the United States,
only to threaten to assassinate
them when they do?
How long before we start “living out the true meaning” of our
creeds, both civil and religious,
that all men and women are created equal and that “Red and
Yellow, Black and White” all are
precious in God’s sight?
Until this past November 4, I
didn’t believe this country would
ever elect an African-American
to the presidency. I still don’t
believe I’ll live long enough to
see us White people get over our
racism problem.
But here’s my three-point
plan: First, every day that Barack
Obama lives in the White House
that Black slaves built, I’m going
to pray that God (and the Secret
Service) will protect him and his
family from us White people.
Second, I’m going to report
to the FBI any White person I
overhear saying, in seriousness
or in jest, anything of a threatening nature about President
Obama.
Third, I’m going to pray to live
long enough to see America surprise the world once again, when
White people can “in spirit and
in truth” sing of our damnable
color prejudice.

The Soulvine
By Betty Pleasant
Joseph Phillips
P
erhaps it was unfair to
expect that the election
of Barack Obama would
bend the curve on hundreds of
years of racial attitudes and the
politics that developed around
those attitudes. Then again, for
a man that entered office with
a promise to calm the seas and
heal the sick, doing “post-racial”
should have been a piece of
cake. Moreover, with all the talk
of “hope and change” it was not
outrageous to imagine that there
might be some positive change
in the tone surrounding discussions of race. Certainly it was
not unreasonable to imagine that
at the very least this president
— who was going to win back
the worlds respect — would not
stoke the fires of racial enmity
here at home. Well, as my mother used to say: “If wishes were
horses, beggars would ride.”
Instead of bringing Americans
together, this president is proving to be the most divisive and
racially polarizing president in
recent memory. And France still
isn’t all that crazy about us.
The press of course has been
filled with reports of the racism
rampant on the political right.
There is no doubt in my mind
that there are American citizens
that dislike President Obama
because he is Black, who are
threatened with the increase in
the population of Brown people
and resent the idea of a Black
man with as much smarts, power
and charisma as Barack Obama.
I am also absolutely certain that
there are Americans that continue to believe O.J. Simpson
did not murder Nicole, believe
men from space have landed
and infiltrated our citizen ranks
or believe the recent healthcare
bill passed by congressional
Democrats and signed by the
president will actually reduce
the deficit.

the various Tea Parties, who

WILLIAM WARREN
ists come together to protest a
brother with power and prone
to chant the N-word at members of the Congressional Black
Caucus. Of course this yarn is
spun with an absolute disregard for the truth and absolutely
no evidence. The tea parties
were formed in response to
profligate spending by a white
Republican president. And in
this day and age — with every
cell phone equipped with a
video camera — it is difficult to
imagine that not one frame has
materialized showing dozens
of tea partiers chanting the
N-word and spitting on Black
congressmen as has been
reported over and over again.
The charges, however, fit so
neatly with the new left’s narrative that facts just get in the
way. As does any notion that
playing the race card every
time someone disagrees with
this president hinders political
debate and stirs the pot of racial
animus.
Now comes news that the
Obama Justice department has
filed an amicus brief supporting a return to the use of racial
preferences at the University of
Texas at Austin.
Following the 1996 decision in Hopwood v. Texas, the
University of Texas was forced
to find race-neutral means
to increase the enrollment of
minority students on its campus. The school began grant-
ing automatic admissions for
students graduating in the top
10 percent of their high school
senior class.
In 2003, the Supreme Court,
in Grutter v. Bollinger, held
that some use of race is permissible only if race-neutral methods
fail and then they must be narrowly tailored. The University
of Texas chose to hold onto
the top 10 percent program and
return to the use of race preferences for students falling outside that percentage.
In 2008, Abigail Fisher,
the lead plaintiff in Fisher v.
University of Texas, graduated
in the top 12 percent of her high
school class and was denied
admission to the university. Her
lawyers argue that the race-neutral 10 percent plan has been
successful and therefore any
use of race preferences oversteps the dictates prescribed
by the Supreme Court and is
unlawful.
What is of particular interest is that the administration
has gone beyond simply filing
a brief in support of existing
law. The President has extended the argument beyond what
The University of Texas applies
and the Supreme Court envisioned in Grutter and endorses
the use of racial preferences in
all “educational institutions”
— K-12, undergraduate, and
graduate. As Roger Clegg,
president and general counsel
at the Center for Equal
Opportunity points out, “The
Supreme Court has never
found there to be a compelling
interest in the former instance
— nor, for example, in postdoctorates for chemistry — and
it is aggressive and wrong to
argue that, because the Court
found there to be compelling educational benefits in
diversity at the University of
Michigan law school, therefore
any educational institution can
make that claim.”
In the battle against discrimination, Obama seeks to take us
backward. This administration
does not envision an America
moving away from preferences,
but a nation of increased preferences based on race! Just as
unfounded cries of racism lead
to an increase in racial enmity,
racial preferences create racial
hostility.
It was anticipated by many
of us that a black man sitting in
the oval office would fundamentally change the racial
discussion in America. This
nation would finally and at
long last leave the chains of
race on the ground and thus
unburdened soar to the heights
promised at our founding. This
new post-racial America would
be the defining contribution
to the American narrative by
the first post-racial president,
Barack Obama. Or so we
hoped.

“I’m going to go out on a
limb and say that it’s easier for
a Black man to say “Come out”
than a Black lesbian. Women
have always been in a more
precarious economic situation
than men and I don’t always
agree because of the different
particular situations of people
that they can always come out.
Not everyone has the privilege
to come out — not just male
privilege, but the privilege to be
on a show, the privilege to have the courage to come out. This
is just like the conversation people had years ago when Black
people were passing, when light-skinned Black people were passing. I personally don’t think we have
the right to ask people to come out, because we don’t
know their story. I believe that’s what needs to happen,
but I don’t believe in outing people and I don’t think it’s as
easy for someone who’s not coming from a place of privilege.”
Paris Barclay
Producer-director,
NYPD Blue, In Treatment
“I do believe that more
people are alive today
because we’re out. And
I do believe that if
you’re ever doing something in your life, whether
it’s writing or directing
or acting, and you’re actually
helping
people
to continue to live, for
whatever reason — because their family has told
them, because some bully in their class has told them
that they are worthless and they look at you and they say,
‘Well, I want to do that someday,’ and you’re out there and
they’re still alive, that’s worth doing. But that is not the
reason why I came out. I came out because I was just tired of
being inauthentic.”

“There is a direct connection between homophobia and sexism.
When you talk about why men have
to be a certain way and this and
this and that and why they’re
viewed a certain way if they’re
gay, it all has to do with men’s
position over women. I’m not
saying all men, just the society
and its nature, being a male-oriented nature, has always viewed
women as submissive, as less than. And so when you
have homosexuality, people view the sex, the submissive sex,
the receptive sex as being likened to a woman. That says
something about how the society views women, because all
of a sudden a man is less than because he’s compared to a
woman.”
Maurice Jamal

Ski Trip, Chappelle’s Show
“I’m a huge advocate,
and I have been for a long
time — and oftentimes I’m
the lone brown kid in the
room saying this: that black
folks have to come out
and they do have a responsibility to come out. Where
I would slightly differ
with [Wilson Cruz] is that I
can’t tell someone that they
have to come out — but I do
believe that I have the right
to ask. I have the right to
ask brothers and sisters in my community to step up and
make decisions that are difficult. … Men are clearly in a different
situation than women are, but by that same token, Black folks
are in a subset from white folks. So I could say that we shouldn’t
ask African-Americans to come out because it puts us on the
brink — and it does, but that’s O.K. because the brink is the good
place. That’s where you make the change.”
CALLING ALL CARS! — A crime may be occurring and the
possible perpetrator is running amongst us, trying to divert our
attention from possible unlawful acts so we can re-elect her to
Congress. On the face of it, Rep. Laura Richardson may very
well be violating the Hatch Act — that law which forbids federal
employees from engaging in partisan political activity; that law
which forbids the staff of federal officials from working to affect
their bosses’ re-election or election to another office; that law
which makes it necessary for federal elected officials to hire, at
their own expense, campaign consultants to handle everything
involving their political aspirations, from soup to nuts.
Richardson is running for re-election this year in the 37th
Congressional District. Among her staff of federally paid
employees is Eric Boyd, her district director, and Ken Miller,
her press deputy/communications director or what-have-you.
In her absence, Boyd was the congresswoman’s stand-in at the
Gardena Valley Democratic Club’s endorsement meeting last
month where his sole task was to convince the club to support
his boss’ bid for re-election. He’s not supposed to do that. His
job is to supervise the delivery of federal services throughout
Richardson’s congressional district and she is supposed to hire
somebody else to tout her candidacy.
I have ignored Miller’s feverish attempts to have me interview
Richardson because all of my questions to her would have been
harsh and would have reflected the stream of really unfavorable information about her coming from her staff, her constituents and other elected officials. For example, I was informed of
Richardson’s commandeering of the county’s emergency helicopters as sightseeing vehicles for her entire staff long before my colleague Steve Lopez reported it in The Times. I chose not to write
about it because I was embarrassed by her lapse in judgment.
Any interview I would have had with Richardson would have
had to include that joy-flying thing plus several other issues that
do not bode well for the congresswoman. But the persistent Miller
got beside himself and e-mailed me a press release he had written
April 1 enthusing about how his boss was “the big winner” at the
Democratic Pre-Endorsement Conference in South Gate. He went
on to detail how Richardson had trounced her challenger, Peter
Mathews, and he threw in a few quotes from the congresswoman,
talking about how she’s so “honored” and “thankful,” and blah
blah blah. It was a good little piece. The only problem, however, is
that Miller can’t write it and he can’t e-mail it to me!! It’s against
the law for him to do so. Richardson has to keep her regular
employees completely away from her election campaigns. She has
to hire somebody else to write and distribute her political propaganda. All politicians know that and she knows it, as well.
I don’t think she cares though, because for some time now I’ve
been getting complaints and comments from Richardson’s defected
former employees (of which there are many) and other elected
officials that she forces her staff to work on her political campaigns under threats of dismissal. I never raised the issue before
because, frankly, I didn’t think it was that important. But now
I see where such complaints could be pervasive, given that
Richardson was a Long Beach City Council member when she
ran for the Assembly and was an Assembly member when she
ran for Congress. She’s always had a government-paid staff at
her command whenever her name appeared on a ballot. I’ll have
to go back and pay more attention to what these people are saying
because what they’re saying to me is showing up in Steve’s
column, not mine, and I’m not liking that. (I must be getting
soft in my old age.)
A RECONSIDERATION — The Los Angeles City Council is
not a bunch of (scatological terms); they are awesome!!! The body
is standing up like people with (different scatological terms) and
telling the DWP what it can do with its rate increase. The council
members are on our side, for a change, and are telling the mayor
and his DWP that they are not the boss of them — that the council
is the boss of them! I love it so much. It feels good to have our
elected officials fight for us, rather than against us. Stand firm,
council; take it to the brink. We got your back — as long as you
have ours!!
INGLEWOOD REPORT — Inglewood’s newly rehired chief
financial officer, Jeff Muir, suddenly resigned Tuesday. You might
recall that Muir was the underqualified fiscal person who popped
into and out of the city’s administrative office at will and who
was pegged by Councilwoman Judy Dunlap to become the chief
administrative officer after she engineered the firing of Timothy
Wanamaker. Well, they offered Wanamaker’s job to Muir
Tuesday morning and he said, “Hell, No!” and quit.
Speaking of Dunlap, I was doing some light reading the other
day of Dunlap’s state-mandated campaign finance filings (Form
460) over the past couple of years, as I was trying to determine
from whence cometh her campaign contributions, and I noted a
couple of interesting things. First of all, her contributions from
people who reside in or do business in Inglewood are extremely
scarce. The overwhelming bulk of her contributions come from
San Francisco, Sacramento, Beverly Hills, West Los Angeles,
Orange County, etc. People and companies in these far flung
places are giving her thousands and thousands of dollars to run
for city council and mayor of Inglewood, while a mere handful of
Inglewood residents have given her $100 to $150 each.
Another thing which struck me as odd about Dunlap’s financial
filings is the fact that she reported to have paid $49,484.93 to
Addra Service Inc. in Inglewood for campaign literature during the
period of Jan. 1, 2008 and June 30, 2008. There was no campaign
in 2008. The Rev. Roosevelt Dorn had already been re-elected
mayor in 2007 and Dunlap’s re-election campaign was waged in
2009. So why did she need to buy $49,484.93 worth of campaign
literature from Addra in the middle of 2008? Did she pocket that
money? I don’t know. I’m just reading.
DATEBOOK — Sheriff Lee Baca will lead a panel discussion on “The Crib to the Penitentiary Pipeline” at 9 a.m. Thursday
at the Junior Blind of America’s facilities at 5300 Angeles Vista
Blvd. The event is hosted by Great Beginnings for Black Babies
which seeks to examine racial profiling and predictions for the
future of Black babies.
The Paul Robeson Community Center, will celebrate the 112th
birthday of legendary athlete, singer, actor and civil rights groundbreaker Paul Robeson on Sunday with a musical program featuring opera virtuoso KB Solomon in the Little Theater at L.A.
Southwest College, 1600 Imperial Hwy. beginning at 3 p.m.
AND FINALLY — What’s this I keep hearing about Nazis
coming to L.A.?! I heard that the NSM (whatever that means) is
a group of openly racist Nazis which plans to hold a rally on the
South Lawn of the City Hall at noon on April 17. Anti-Nazis are
being summoned to gather at the Triforium statue at Temple and
Main at 10 a.m. to form a picket line around the City Hall and
yell at the Nazis. This had better be true because I don’t appreciate
giving up my Saturday morning to go cuss out Nazis and Nazis
don’t show up. (If it’s true, it’s gonna be good, yeah!)

Janet Jackson
opens up about
Michael’s death
T
CNN
he notoriously private
Janet Jackson opened up
about her brother’s death
on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”
last week, admitting that the
family knew he had a problem.
“People think we were in denial but we weren’t. We tried intervention several times. He was
very much in denial — he didn’t
think he had a problem.”
When the news first broke
that Michael was ill, Jackson said
she first heard about it from an
assistant while she was home in
New York. The last time she saw
her brother was about a month
before, she said, at a party she
had thrown for their parents.
“He was thin then, and we knew
that he had a problem; we all
did,” she said.
His death, she told Winfrey, is
“hard to believe still to this day.
There isn’t a day that goes by
that I don’t think about it — that
all of us in the family don’t think
about it — every single day.”
Her brother’s passing happened right as Janet Jackson had
started production on Tyler
Perry’s new film, “Why Did I
Get Married Too?” and the emotional turmoil she was in comes
through in the film, Winfrey said.
“It was very therapeutic,”
Jackson said of her role.
Tyler Perry, she added, was
by her side the entire time, asking her how she wanted to be
treated on set, making sure no one
had access to images of Jackson
crying in character (lest a tabloid
run them as evidence of what
Jackson was going through at
the time), and even changing
the ending of the movie, which
opens nationwide Friday, for her.
“I changed the ending because
at first she was going to speak at
the funeral, and the things that
she was going to say, it was too
eerie,” Perry, who also was on
the show, told Winfrey. “She
didn’t want to change it, but I
did.”
Veering from the topic of his
movie, Perry told Winfrey he felt
the need to reiterate how hard
PAPARAZZI
Photos by Bill Jones
the Jackson family worked to try
to save their brother.
“I’m sorry, but I want people
to know this,” Perry said. “I want
people to know how much they
tried. They really, really tried
— the entire family. I want the
whole world to know how much
they tried.”
The family was worried,
Jackson said, and did several
interventions. At one of them,
Jackson said she became so
overwhelmed, “seeing him and
knowing that there was an issue
that he was in denial about,” she
had to leave the room. “A lot of
the relationships I’ve been in,
they’ve had issues with addiction. It’s difficult when you see
it. [I] recognize it so quickly
because I’ve dealt with it in past
relationships.”
For Jackson, it’s difficult to
even look at pictures of Michael
as an adult or listen to his music;
the only images she can stand
to view are those of the pair as
children.
“When we were kids, we had
so much fun together,” she said.
“We used to spend every day, all
day, together. I have a beautiful
picture in my home of he and
I when we were just babies. It
takes me to that place, even when
he was still here, that I missed,
that we would talk about. That
[picture] I can look at.”
The
emotional
turmoil
Jackson was dealing with, both
in her role in Perry’s movie as
well as personally, began to
affect her physically as well:
Jackson said she’s definitely an
emotional eater.
“When I’m feeling down, I do
turn to food,” she told Winfrey.
Her struggle with her weight has
even led Jackson to write a book
about it, to answer those persistent questions everyone always
has about her weight.
“Instead of writing about
nutrition, I decided to go into
my childhood, where I’ve always
had issues with my weight,”
Jackson said, adding that the
book would touch on issues like
self-confidence as well.

Tony Scott and Hazel Ramirez are the Wave Newspapers Coach and Player of the Year for girls
basketball for a second consecutive season after leading Inglewood High School to a 30-6
record and the Southern Regional final.
Duo led Inglewood
girls to new level
Prep basketball: Scott,
Ramirez top team
BY RON GUILD
STAFF WRITER
Inglewood High School’s girls
basketball team reached levels
the past two seasons never experienced by the program in the
past.
The driving forces behind a
resurgence that has produced
61 victories, one trip to a state
championship game, a Southern
Section title and regional final
appearance can be found on the
court and the sidelines.
On the court, it’s point guard
Hazel Ramirez, the Wave Newspapers Player of the Year for a
second consecutive season.
From the sidelines, it’s Tony
Scott, the Wave Coach of the
Year for the second time in two
years.
This season’s squad managed
to advance nearly as far as the
2008-09 Sentinels despite heavy
graduation losses.
Ramirez, the 5-foot-6 floor general who has signed with Loyola
Marymount University, took a
fairly inexperienced squad to a
30-6 record, the CIF-SS Division
III-AA title and to the Southern
Regional Division III final where
the journey ended with a 56-54
loss to Bishop Amat. The Sentinels defeated Amat, 63-48 a couple of weeks earlier in the section
semifinals.
Scott gave a lot of credit to
Inglewood High School point
guard Hazel Ramirez will be
playing her basketball at
Loyola Marymount next year
after a stellar career for the
Sentinels.
Ramirez, who averaged 12.5
points, 5.1 assists, 3.8 steals per
game and shot 87 percent from
the free throw line. Her 39 3point baskets also led the team.
The numbers might not jump
out at you, but her ballhandling,
passing and leadership was evident for those in attendance at
Inglewood games. Without her,
those playoff runs likely would
have ended somewhat sooner.
“She put the team on her back
this year because of all the starters we lost,” he said. “She had
to score a little more than on the
previous team. But as the season
went on, she began to trust her
teammates more.”
Inglewood assistant David
Gray phrased it another way.
“Hazel is the key to our Rolls
Royce,” he said. “She’s like our
Magic Johnson, our Jason Kidd.
She’s having a player-of-the-year
season.”
LMU coach Julie Wilhoit is
excited to be adding Ramirez, a
two-time All-CIF selection who
was the 2009-10 Division III-AA
Player of the Year, to the program.
“Hazel is an unbelievable point
guard,” Wilhoit said. “She has
court vision, savvy, and passing
skills. Her first look is to make a
great pass, but she can also score
and hit the three. She will add
great depth to our point guard
position after leading her high
school and club teams to successful seasons.”
Scott, now in his sixth season
at Inglewood, likes what he sees
with the program.
With 6-1 junior Deajanae Scurry the top returnee, the Sentinels
are looking to continue their successful ways next season.
“I’m really excited about
the last two years and how the
program has grown the past
six years,” he said. “To win 60
games over two years and to be
playing for a state title is not bad.
A lot of good things are happening academically and athletically
at Inglewood right now.”
