Doc Bethune Candidate Statement

I am a current member of the LSB and the PNB. I serve on the Outreach Committee and Chair the Anti-Racism Committee and Diversity Committee on the local level and I am a member of the Personnel, Audit, Executive Director Search, and the Committee to Investigate Racism & Sexism. I Believe in KPFT and Pacifica because it is one of the most critical mechanisms for communicating the truth to our community.

I bring the ability to listen and believe that collaboration works for the good of the network. Collaboration with the diversity with the diversity we seek. We must keep the voice clear and open to the people. We must serve the people and remember that without them we don’t exist.

Peace for Real

Doc Bethune

tilmaya: concerned listener

I am deeply concerned about the increasing exclusion of "other" communities by KPFT's programming. Specifically, I was listening to Connect the Dot today (November 28, 2007) and the host made a racial slur against Asians (referring to KidCare as having been "Shanghai'd") right after talking about the racism that the black community faces from HPD. This statement is clearly derogatory and it is truly disappointing that the person answering the phone calls at KPFT during the show didn't bother to address my concern. I fear that KPFT is going down a path that is increasingly excluding persons outside of the black/African-American communities. What are your plans or vision to make KPFT more inclusive and balanced?

How will your being on the LSB help your radio station?

How will it help Pacifica?
