The Name "Centro Legal De La Raza", Does not say "Diversity" for all. Yet they get 100% of Funding for Outreach. Do they go to D Street in East Oakland with that outreach. Do they approach the people who illegally dispose of trash? Those are the ones this "outreach" always misses. If I am not Latino, I would not even look to / trust. You are breeding Segregation with this mentality. Why can't I have someone of My Color to help me... They(Central), Have a name based on their outreach. You do this with Education, Head Start... ect. It is modern Day segregation. Now "Whitey", (Schaff, "Gap"Fisher Family, & Browns') are bringing "white baseball" to Downtown. Leaving East Central Oakland with No Economic Engine. And $$$Millions teaching Restaurant Service at 3400 International... YeP...
