Say Discrimination is Pervasive in Supposedly Progressive City
Say Discrimination is Pervasive in Supposedly Progressive City
On Juneteenth, June 19th, Black San Francisco City employees rallied on the steps of City Hall to denounce ongoing discrimination in pay and treatment on the job by the supposedly progressive city.
The rally was part of nationwide celebrations and observances to mark the 1865 announcement of the abolition of slavery.
In shirts proclaiming "I am Black and I matter" supporters heard speakers telling of their own unequal treatment by the City. The Justice 4 Mario Woods coalition showed a large banner in protest of his mistreatment by police.
The point was made that, even worse than bigots and racists, white "progressives" will wine and dine back folks while standing in the way of sharing any real power.
SEIU labor as well as San Francisco Berniecrats were there to show support.

Black lives Matter and so does our specie, which has four races. It is not the colour of our skin that determines whether we are necessary, it is the content of our practice that shows character. The black people are necessary because they do have a genetic well being that is able and giving towards a happy constitution for a world of work and play we all can learn from. Racist aggression is fascist-Nazis hard core useless hate against our whole specie. You all have a world to win yet. Elect women equally to Gender Parity, and make harmony and joy of living come back to a living planet again. Climate Change by fossil fuel aggressive war pollution is destroying the ecological balances of the organic and inorganic webs-of-life/
