I dont know of any direct influences for a couple reasons. I was too young when they were very active, and I am not black. As for any indirect influences, I am not too familiar with any of their work. h:

Also, growing up...I was mostly confined to Chinatown. That in itself has a culture much different than the rest of Oakland. Once I moved and got out of Chinatown, I gotta say it opened up my eyes being around people of different colors.

you should respond to the posts/questions individually.
you'd get a lot more posts counted.

what do you like about living in oakland compared to other towns you've lived in? what car do you drive?

I like how after 6pm Chinatown is totally dead and most of the stores/restaurants are all boarded up ready for the black people roaming around at night. h:
