I would think that if you have any issues, you would be an adult and directly speak to Ms. Ntofon, instead of hiding yourself behind technology. You say all of these comments about someone, when you don't realize that your words really reflect on the kind of person you are. So, really, whose the wannabee? Be upfront about your stuff because your actions have NOT represented any concern about the West Oakland community, it just shows a fear-driven person whose got nothing better to do.

And your point for bringing all of this up is?... your comments about the artist and her relation to Marcel Diallo are to???This blog is about art and it's social,political& spiritual impliclations for the artist and our community.Can we stay focused and give the sister her props for her journey and HER art...this is not about Marcel Diallo. I am sick of folks like you who hide behind the matrix aka the internet when you decide to get Political or stand up for a cause.Is this your idea raising public awareness? fostering community? Suppoting arts?Furthering the Panther's mission? How effective...NOT. If you have issues with the Diallo family, find another method to address your concerns like face to face or with the person you have issues with? I believe that you think that you are really doing something by putting somebody on Blast but your not.

Ntofon is the common law wife of <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/inoakland/detail?&entry_id=51942" rel="nofollow">Marcel Diallo</a> with whom she has four sons. <a href="http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/you-dont-know-jack/Content?oid=1428761" rel="nofollow">Marcel Diallo</a> is a scammer and a bully, and Letitia Ntofon is in on Diallo's game big time. Don't support art of someone who supports a racist cabal that's terrorizing a neighborhood.

Love to see art that whether visually abstract or figurative, surprises with its its meaning for the artist. Her work reminds me a lot of folklore just in its visual representation and of the barber/hair shop painted signage found throughout Africa. Beautiful work!
