Your Black Muslim Bakery Is Back In Business

Robert Gammon —  Tue, May 5, 2009 at 1:03 PM

We should have noted this earlier, but members of the defunct Your Black Muslim Bakery have opened a new bakery on Martin Luther King Jr. Way in North Oakland called Your Community Café & Bakery, according to the Chauncey Bailey Project. The project reported on the new bakery at 4501 MLK in a story over the weekend about associates of the original bakery running afoul of the law. In other words, the bakery is back in business in more ways than one.

The new bakery is being run by Jamal Bey, who was caught up in the 2005 liquor store vandalism spree that also ensnared Yusuf Bey IV, the alleged mastermind of the murder of journalist Chauncey Bailey. And guess who is baking all the new goodies for the new cafe? None other than Daulet Bey, Bey IV's mother and one of the widows of the elder Yusuf Bey, founder of the original bakery who died while facing charges of raping young girls. Daulet Bey also used to be the main baker at the old bakery on San Pablo Avenue before it went bankrupt.

You need to stop that madness Jamal is a young man trying to do something good for the Community. He is very bright and mature for his age. At the age of 23 he has built what no other 23 year old has ever built in Oakland. He helps the needy and provides jobs for the neighborhood! He also encourages young men to stop selling drugs and start setting examples for the Youth in Oakland. Jamal also gives free tutoring for youth, MR. Robinson is doing something that the government should be paying him for, but they build more prisons and close down our schools, but out of the kindness of that young man’s heart he is a giver! I am no Muslim but I have respect for that young man.

One hopes these apparently ardent students of history will learn from the multitude of mistakes by their predecessors.

That is a good start. I wish them the best of luck. I will surely stop by and purchase some baked goods as I pass by that way in the mornings.

A business cover to systemically shield blakc thugs who have a very well documented history of being associated with rape, incest and murder.

Anyone who would give an entity like this their money should not be allowed to possess money.

Marvin - Destroying property of another is NOT helping the community. Let's say Mr. Bey decided to smash out the windows on your car; would that be
helpful? He cost a legitimate business owner a lot of money because he was against something. I was against his reaction & I am not given a free
pass to do anything to Mr. Bey. The law is the law plain & simple - you break them and pay the price. I have ZERO respect for those that can not
respect others & it is obvious that Mr. Bey does not respect his fellow community members.
