"Donald Winkfield is one of the most courageous persons I've met.    Not only is he courageous, his integrity is beyond reproach.  As you will read from some of the articles published in the Black Star News, you will find that Donald Winkfield takes on any issue regarding the injustices many of us are experiencing."  -- Bill Murawski

Although the articles written by Donald Winkfield can be grouped under the one topic "Human Rights", each and every one touches so many fabrics of our society.  And since we hear all too much about the corrupt politicians these days  and who did what illegally and never is held accountable, those articles are listed under the topic "Are Elected  and Appointed Officials Negligent?" at the very end of this page.  Instead, articles about issues important to all us in our everyday  lives are grouped FIRST  under the specific headings of Housing, Human Rights, Sexual Harassment Veterans and Taxes.  Bill Murawski

Although the events surrounding Katrina personally affected only those touched by the hurricane, the reaction by those in charge of disaster relief is a far worse disaster.  Not even the devil could cook up a stew equivalent to the one FEMA prepared that contained the ingredients of indifference, arrogance, greed and stupidity.

The 1991 Report of the New York State Judicial Commission on Minorities supports the article Our Apartheid System of Justice.  But don't have the article sway you in one way or another.  It's simply the old story of the rich versus the poor and those who are in control of power versus those who are not.  And wait until you read about my expeiences in the "Uniformed Court System" of the State of New York -- epecially the Housing and "Family Court".

Donald Winkfield's article The Gangs Control Rikers demonstrates what happens to government employees when they are placed in the position to do their job as required by law.  As I've personally witnessed and experienced at the New York City Housing Authority, the New Gangs of New York are those "elected" and appointed officials who are in charge.

Once again smoke and mirrors were used by our elected and anointed officials during "contract negoitiations" that led to the MTA Strike in December of 2005 during the height of the holiday season.  And to make matters worse, Mayor Michael Bloomberg reverted to projecting his own inner feelings of being a thug (read dictionary definition) by referring to the striking union members as being "thuggish".
