And if anyone”polarizes” it’s the tech greed and white privilege that destroyed the Mission, along with police violence that protects then

You weren’t on 24th.I was. You aren’t part of the Latino Mission of which you speak. The piece I’d admit y24th street and Latinos losing their community to tech greed and white privilege. Read it

Fri, 31 Oct 2014 17:01:52 +0000https://ofamerica.wordpress.com/?p=2452#comment-3747This article is quite poetic, but further polarizes the many groups of the Mission.
I have been a public school teacher in SF for 6 years, mostly in the mission. This article is actually just as racist as that which it pushed against. Police brutality, vandalism and property damage to “fellow” Latino businesses and homes is not exactly what the long time, bus riding, $7 Giants ticket buying dad’s would consider a Mission celebration. I know a lot of 2-3+ generation Latino and black mission families that were appalled by what happened that night.
I’m pretty saddened that the literary talent in this article is so utterly wasted in the exact racism it tries to address.

Time to deface with “Santa Clara” every time we see a 49ers anything with “San Francisco” on it. Fakers.

Comment on Passports Denied: Mexican-Americans Can’t Travel by Candida Orta
https://ofamerica.wordpress.com/2008/09/23/passports-denied-mexican-americans-cant-travel/#comment-3430
Thu, 12 Jun 2014 04:15:00 +0000https://ofamerica.wordpress.com/?p=669#comment-3430I got a letter from the passport office today telling me that: Thank you for recent passport application. the evidence of your birth occurred, and the US citizenship or nationality you submitted is not acceptable for passport purposes for the following reason: the certificate shows that your birth was recorded more than one year after your birth occurred, and the evidence used to create the delayed birth record is not sufficient. and they go on to say please submit a certified birth certificate, for the birth certificate to be acceptable, is must—–
1 be issued by the office of vital statistics of the state, county, or city where your birth occurred
2 show your full name at birth
3 indicate your date and place of birth
4 list the full names of your parents
5 bear the embossed, impressed, mutli-colored, or raised seal and signature of the issuing authority, and indicate a registration or file date that is within one year of your birth.
I wrote back saying—To whom it may concern; I’m so totally confused, Basically why would I need and delayed certificate of birth if I had a birth certificate within one year of my birth, I called and the passport lady customer services department and was also confused. It is not my fault that my parents were so irresponsible, but they were native Americans and did not trust the U.S. government.
I was born in the back seat of a car on the Fort Apache Reservation, I have contacted the reservation but they only record births of tribal members.
I was born 6 weeks early and my parents ‘thought that I would die so the a priest came to baptized me, I have contacted the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gallup but because the baptism happen so long ago and the speed of which it was done that they no longer have these records, but I do have my mother’s family bible showing my birth.
My mother was born on the Big Cypress Reservation in Florida on 6/6/1940 and had ran off with my father at 14 years of age. My father was born in the Alberta Canada in the Northwest Territories on 5/15/1923, both of my parents were Native American. My father had me home schooled because we never stayed in one place long.
I became pregnant at 19 years old and was kick out of the house and all communication was cut off, I have tried for years to locate them but to no avail, I have not seen or heard from them in 39 years and I doubt that they are alive
I have scan and sending copies from my mother’s family bible and I’m sending you certified copies of my children’s birth certificates as well, So please send them back when you no longer need them.——-
this is not right the way they (passport office) treat people who have no control of what their parents do or do not do. if there is help for people in my situation please help. I live day by day and I 59 years old. please help
