San Francisco supervisors chose a white man to serve as mayor until a June election, replacing the African-American woman temporarily serving in the position and infuriating activists in a city that is celebrated for its progressive politics but also has a dwindling black population.
The racially diverse Board of Supervisors booted acting Mayor London Breed by selecting another supervisor, Mark Farrell, as interim mayor in an emotional Tuesday night vote. Those who supported the move said Breed, who’s running for a full term as the city’s top leader, should not have a leg up on the seven other candidates in the June 5 contest.
But the vote angered Breed supporters who packed the board meeting. Some booed and yelled “shame” when supervisors chose a white man who represents an affluent part of San Francisco over a black woman who grew up in public housing near City Hall.
“I’ve been pastor for 42 years now, and I’ve witnessed how so-called progressive white liberals have played the black community and have never been honest, straightforward participants in the welfare of black people,” the Rev. Amos C. Brown, president of the San Francisco branch of the NAACP, said Wednesday.
Breed became acting mayor by law when Mayor Ed Lee died suddenly of a heart attack in December. Her supporters said the city should not change rules midstream. …

this is what leftist Democratic racism can do to you
incidentally, the D’s have run almost all the black people out of San Fransicko anyways
Liberal on liberal infighting is a beautiful thing to watch.
...give-a-sh!t...
Blacks are down to 5% of the population there. They moved to Oakland and Richmond. Too expensive. Liberal policies.
Welcome to the party, pal.
They’re holding out for a black transsexual homosexual female.
Sadly, such tactics continue to fool black people, especially black women, the most one-sided voting group in the 2016 election.
My box of “F***s” to give has been so empty for so long that I’m of the opinion that whatever some SJW wants: do the opposite ... with gusto.
Take down a statue? Put up another! Don’t fly the flag? Fly two! Support gay marriage? Support outlawing homosexual acts just as they should have always been illegal (Ask, tell was the best approach).
Laugh in the face of the offendsensitive SJWs. Mock them. Deride them. Revile them. Kick them when they’re down, kick’em when they’re up.
Zero Foxtrot.
So tired of all these “Racists with high melanin percentages”.
I’m surprised that they didn’t put a flaming la raza latino in charge of SF, seeing as how the mexicans now run the california government.
Maybe the Americans who happen to be black can take it up with their masters in mexico city. They’ll get the same answer as the rest of us gringos up here in el norte get.
Tell them to stop shooting each other.
They are eating their own-——nice to see.

Why?
It’s much easier to advocate “progressive” policies when the problems those policies create are over on the other side of The Bay.
No, Oakland is just as expensive as SF. They're moving much further away, maybe 50 miles out where it's cheaper to live. The blacks that are left here are either affluent, or in subsidized housing. The others who owned property cashed out for cheaper housing far away. (As for Richmond, it's almost a sh*thole.)
Poop on the sidewalk!
So they really do believe once you go black, you never go back.
