I’ve actually read three completely different accounts of why you said you called the police and how Nadra provoked that from you. One iteration actually lacks physical validity in how you described it. It seems like you make up plausible insinuations of what would lead someone to call the Police on someone, simply to cover your ass, but in reading each account by you, it seems you are lying each time just to provide yourself cover. Like a criminal would do once caught red handed.

There’s also a history it seems with you and other people of color getting into conflicts at KPFA, you seem to have a disregard for people of color and sought out to make Nadra the target of a vendetta to satisfy your need to control. When you add up all the information and ancillary information Nadra seems a lot more credible and you seem like a bigot with a chip on your shoulder with ready made plausible deniablity when people start to look your way.

What it looks like is that you decided to get your jollies calling the cops on a power trip and it went a rye when they decided to take it up to violent levels which you did not expect nor wanted to be pinned as being the instigator of. So you invented some violent images of Nadra to cover yourself, not let yourself be looked at as the cause of this violent incident. Then you counted on European American prejudice to take over and do the rest, by letting the assumption that an African American lady is loud, violent, and potentially dangerous do the excuse making for you. And to prove your bigotry right, it seems to have done so to date.

You are a despicable person, I hope something as violent as what happened to Nadra happens to you, so that you can lay on the floor and think to yourself “now I know that I’m no better than the people I look down upon”. Maybe then you’ll see the error of your ways and stop making excuses for your behavior.

If it’s true that Nadra was impeding someone and was posing a threat, why isn’t this information made public and investigated by a media outlet which boasts of uncovering truths hidden from people. It is very quaint to paint a picture of a violent and dangerous African woman that must be restrained, then hide behind a veil of “it’s secret.”

You simply want to use insinuation while avoiding an open process that includes debate and question of your actions. The way you present things, your decision is the final justification for itself, there can be no open examination of what went on by outside people.

If your reasons are valid include the whole picture and details of each, and have them all open to scrutiny. As well as anyone with a contrary stance doing the same. Your avoidance of such a process is what removes credence from what you say.

I resigned because I got a better job as a controller for an environmental firm. It had nothing to do with Nadra Foster.

Do you realize Nadra had screamed at manager previous to my even working at KPFA? There are tough choices managers have to make at times and not everyone will agree with those choices. Nadra was impeding someone who needed to work in the studio. She refused to leave so I was asked to assist. After we asked her to leave again and she didn’t Dominga said we had to protect staff and call the police. This is because of a prior incident that involved more serious behavior and is confidential. If she wants to disclose it to you she can.
