Tasneem Raja Of Oaklandside Your Tweet’s A Lie; Explain Your Favoring Politicians Who Support You?
Happened to see a tweet by Tasneem Raja, the Editor of Oaklandside and about me. I have never met her, or knew she existed until now. It is very clear she has an agenda against me and so here we go with someone else who’s racial prejudice keeps them from seeing clearly.
She believes that Zennie62Media was paid to blog for Ignacio De La Fuente. That’s an assumption. And as we used to say an assumption makes an ass of you and me, this proves that. Zennie62Media was not retained to blog for Ignacio De La Fuente, but for digital advertising. Period, end of story. That said, I have been more than open that I think he should be the next Mayor of Oakland.
But your claim that I did not disclose that I support him just means you did not watch the video and did not watch my other videos on Ms. LeAna Powell either. In other words, again, you made an assumption.
For you to assume what you did was borne not of any desire for the truth, but from your sheer anger that LeAna Powell’s story did not come to you. That’s horrible, to say the least.
And on that, why don’t you disclose your relationships with Oakland Politicians who are donors to your coffers? I have photos of Oakland City Councilmembers who attended your October 28th 2021 Fundraiser and your June 29th 2021 Fundraiser, too. See: https://oaklandnewsnowblog.com/oaklandside-nonprofit-news-doesnt-reveal-donors-but-fundraisers-draw-oakland-city-councilmembers/
Why do you not disclose who pays you? Where did you get the idea that you’re better than me and from that go ahead and act legally in using your publication to launch political attacks. You’re a 501(c)3 – you’re acting illegally. On top of that, you keep acting up as if no one will say anything. Well, you’ve attempted to bully your last black person.
I fight back.
There’s almost no black owned media compared to the many white-owned media organizations. Moreover, we have an electorate that seems have some who send the message that they do not want black media. Well, that’s too bad, because since 2004 they’ve got a giant dose of me and my Zennie62Media family. I have been called the n-word on YouTube so much that I lobbied for a filter and thanks to CBS News and AdAge, I got it.
I have battled people much larger than you think you are and won. When Francis started Oaklandside I looked forward to having lunch with her and interviewing her, but she acted strangely. Considering she owes her local Pulitzer Prize to me, that was sad. But I came to the conclusion that whatever was going on, I would have been treated differently if I were white. I have seen nothing from Oaklandside to have me think otherwise.
It’s sad that you spend more time focused on me than on LeAna Powell. But then that is another example of the disrespect black women in Oakland get: a white owned publication who’s managers-of-color think that trying to put down a black media celebrity in Oakland is more important than the person he interviewed.
Tasneem Raja that’s nothing less than sick and sad. I pray for a better Oakland, but it looks like the only way we’re going to get their is through this Valley of Evil populated by websites with mean, anti-black, agendas. That’s what Oaklandside looks like to me.
Stay tuned.
