Media Ignores the problems of Asian-Hispanic and Euro Americans
I participated in a La Times media forum last week.I mentioned the recent fires that occured in southern california as
having been set by young whites. Apparently high from alcohol, they lit a bonfire that caused this conflagration. The
panel discussed what would have happend were these black or Hispanic kids. Over the next week, I want to examine
some recent social pathologies commited by whites, which, if they were committed by African Americans and Hispanics,
would make the front pages of the Jim Crow media.

Hello Mr. Reed,
I recently did a presentation about you and Mumbo Jumbo in a class this summer at CSU Long Beach. It was my last class to get my Master's Degree in English (20th Century American concentration). I tried to do a thesis on Thomas Pynchon, but ultimately had to test out to finish my degree because the thesis proved too difficult. I would LOVE to hear you weigh in on the whole Dr. Gates/ Obama issue (I suppose, predictably). Also, a native son of Oakland, Rickey Henderson, is being inducted into the hall of fame this weekend. Whaddya think of that? Thanks, Ian
