Her campaign to promote teen abstinence was taking off. <BR/>She had everything to live for.<BR/><BR/>But the 44-year-old Oakland woman was found dead Friday morning in her Laurel District apartment on the 3600 block of Patterson Avenue, where she lived with two daughters and grandchildren. <BR/><BR/>``We could have never seen this coming,'' said her niece, Nikki Mason.<BR/><BR/>``I just saw her two days ago. She just seemed so happy,'' said her niece, who gathered with stricken family, friends and neighbors as police investigators tried to piece together the events that led to Mason's death. <BR/><BR/>The investigation continued Friday evening. Police were searching for a suspect, Phillip White, 27, who they believed was driving the oversized, white Chevy van Mason drove that bore the slogan of her ``No Sex Policy'' teen abstinence campaign and the license plate number 4LBG301.<BR/><BR/>White, who police said is originally from Indianapolis and goes by the performance name ``Philthy Phil,'' met Mason about five years ago in Atlanta, where she lived for several years.<BR/><BR/>He was staying with Mason while visiting her, police said.<BR/><BR/>After an argument between the two Thursday night while at a Hayward nightclub on Mission and E Street, Mason returned home, packed White's belongings and set them outside her apartment, according to Sgt. Tony Jones.<BR/><BR/>Mason was killed sometime after that while her children and grandchildren <BR/><BR/>slept in their rooms, Jones said.<BR/>Police said they suspect White is trying to flee to Indianapolis or Atlanta, possibly by Greyhound bus. <BR/><BR/>Mason was liked and respected by everyone, Jones said. Here is a woman who was doing something positive in the community and she was killed, Jones added. <BR/><BR/>A licensed cosmetologist, Mason made her newly opened hair salon on 5th Avenue the headquarters for the campaign. <BR/><BR/>She often spread her message about keeping young people safe and on the right path at the weekend flea market in the Ashby BART parking lot in Berkeley, family and other community advocates recalled. <BR/><BR/>"We're all here for a purpose, but I know her purpose wasn't to go out like this,'' said nephew Anthony Stuart.<BR/><BR/>Music was Mason's other passion. She had just recorded a CD under her rap-artist name of Kali Kash, her niece said.<BR/><BR/>``I just want people to know what kind of person she was.'' Mason's death is the ninth in seven years to strike the large family, family members said.<BR/><BR/>Mason's own son was 14 when he was killed in a 2003 car crash, they said. <BR/><BR/>``She never got over the grief of her son,'' said one of seven sisters, Cynthia Mason.<BR/><BR/>Tears poured down the cheeks of sister Gale Mason as she mourned the loss of her youngest sibling.<BR/><BR/>``It will never make sense. It's like a never-ending story,'' said Stuart.<BR/><BR/>Mason returned in 2005 from Atlanta, where she had lived several years and where two of her four children live. <BR/><BR/>Neighbor Tom Slocumb called 9-1-1 about 11 a.m. after he was alerted to Mason's death by family members standing in the front of the apartment. <BR/><BR/>The sight of the coroner's van that would carry Mason's lifeless body away was too much for daughter Revlon Mason, who stormed away, a look of sadness and anger twisting her face. Family members said she found her mother's body.<BR/><BR/>``That's really her,'' cried her niece Nikki Mason, as though it were a question, as though she wished someone would tell her ``no,'' that it was all a misunderstanding.<BR/><BR/>Staff writer Angela Woodall can be reached at awoodall@angnewspapers.com.west coast storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833809632143106334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-18665059587408456822007-06-28T23:46:00.000-04:002007-06-28T23:46:00.000-04:00I take that many women don't set out to be in abus...I take that many women don't set out to be in abusive relationships and its a tangled, complex web to untangle and free yourself. Most women whom are murdered are killed by the men they love.<BR/><BR/><BR/>MY advice for all of us women...play attention to your man's angry flash points. Don't think it will clam down or you did something to provoke him. Nothing you do will be right. Leave with your life. <BR/><BR/><BR/>The advice for the rest of us, don't be so judgemental of women in abusive relationships. Unless you know and even if it is puzzling to us, most women have to attempt to escape that relationship close to 60 times before they are successful. We have to know it take more than just a backpack and a wish. There are organizations that have created safety escape plans for women. Many have to relocate to another state, secretly hide documents, transportation, secretly change jobs, and with kids involved take them aways without putting their LIVES at risk.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Thank you FN. I appreciate a brotha speaking up. I wish we all don't let this be just another post.<BR/><BR/>-DLDivineLavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633605215208279867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-37975850526654862622007-06-28T15:44:00.000-04:002007-06-28T15:44:00.000-04:00A man who kicks a woman ass, most times is a cowar...A man who kicks a woman ass, most times is a coward.

A lot of it is not reported in the ghetto/hood because of the convoluted "rules" about police and black males. Whatever violence is going on in the dominant culture, rest assured black females have it twice as bad. Trying to juggle survival methods of race, culture and personal self-worth in the U S has always been problematic - like black women and children were not lynched right alongside black men. Now I have to worry about some foreign whack jobs to boot.<BR/><BR/>CassandraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-65598786444109341892007-06-27T15:23:00.000-04:002007-06-27T15:23:00.000-04:00"a guy on my blog commented that you can put your ..."a guy on my blog commented that you can put your foot down on the silly, nilihistic and dangerous, immature behavior of us black men"<BR/><BR/>"Us black men?"<BR/><BR/>Why, you've been beating up a woman lately, ever?<BR/><BR/>If so, speak for yourself.

If the country has forgotten the story "The Burning Bed", maybe they should re-release it on the TV. It might wake some folks up to what is really happening, especially in poor communities.

I was hoping the whole time that Cutts was not involved.<BR/><BR/>Now Cutts will be the new poster Monster for all the bigots, who will say this is why there should not be interracial relationships. <BR/><BR/>I agree with Field... I was raised the same way- don't hit a woman. My little sister would mess with me... knowing full well that I couldn't do anything, lol. She enjoyed herself. <BR/><BR/>How these men could do this is beyond me. It's horrific just to think about. If I ever get into a situation where I can't deal with a girlfriend...or wife.. I will just leave.
