Article referenced in my post was formerly posted here, on reddit, and on FireWorks (now both removed) but still live on BayAreaInfanta: http://bayareaantifa.noblogs.org/post/2015/02/04/oakland-fascists-in-north-oaklandtemescal/ Now my friends' home has been attacked, and I am posting for clarification.

1 - Thanks to IndyBay, to reddit author "cosmic" and to FireWorks, for reading my, and our friends' letters, and for taking this article down from your sites. This home is rented by my friends, as well as an Eritrean family, and a Chinese acupuncturist.2 - The article, posted on BayAreaAntiFA is still live here: http://bayareaantifa.noblogs.org/post/2015/02/04/oakland-fascists-in-north-oaklandtemescal/And the acupuncturist sign in this article was tagged NO NAZIS IN OTOWN last night. Right in front of my friends and the Eitrean family's home.The poster of the article even acknowledges errors in its posting:"Re-post from Indybay, where it has since been deleted. While certain elements may be overconfidently definitive, or simply unsubstantiated, we feel it warrants dissemination regardless."This BayAreaAntiFa posting is simply irresponsible. I know IndyBay has nothing to do with what's on BayAreaAntiFa, but I'm posting here in hopes that the OP sees and takes down (registration / contact seems impossible on BayAreaAntiFa).And at the very least, people who WOULD see the BayAreaAntiFa article and take action get all the facts / not put my friends in danger. I understand your desires to bring justice to fascists / nazi's / racists, but you have the wrong target.I'll edit later this afternoon w/ a video walkaround of the home to dispute the other tag photo in the BayAreaAntiFa posting.I'm Filipino. I'm friends with the people who legally rent this home. All of them.They are not fascists.They are not Nazi's.They are not racists.They live in harmony with this neighborhood.Most of them have grown up in Oakland in lower-middle class families, and are certainly not a part of the gentrification that's overtaking the area.I'm one of the people who originally asked for this post to be taken down from indybay, as well as my jewish friend Adam, who is their friend as well. One of our friends who's a renter there is Mexican. Our circle of friends includes Peruvians, African Americans (many of whom self-identify as black vs. AA), Mexicans, Hondurans, Japanese, South Korean, Hindi, Jamaicans, Haitians, Hawaiians, Tongans, Brazilians, Indigenous Americans, that I can think of right off the top of my head.The people who live in this house cannot monitor 24/7 for graffiti. If the BayAreaAntiFa who had posted this had seen this house over the past 5 years, such would be very evident.Noone is being done a service with this post. Not victims of facism / nazism / racism. Not the impoverished residents of this neighborhood who are threatened by gentrification. And certainly not my friends, who are in no way affiliated with the finger-pointing in this post.If anything happens to my friends, the Eritrean family, or the Chinese acupuncturist for this post, BayAreaAntiFA are to blame. Not my friends. This does not sit well with me, nor our circle of friends. And despite all the good intentions of the poster, the Real facists / nazi's / racists will continue unabated, and unidentified.If you have contact with BayAreaAntiFa, please relay my message:Please, for the love of decency that drives your antifacist efforts, take this post down. Just as you and your friends would want to never be mis-labeled / misidentified / wrongly accused, my friends want the same. And they deserve to be left alone by people who would fashion themselves crusaders of your cause.This has been written in respect, and I hope you read it with the earnestness that I intend.Respectfully,Robert KurtzOakland CA
