The RBG Legacy As An Anti-Black Racist

NEWS, HISTORY, POLITICS AND ACTIVISM FROM THE AFRICAN DIASPORA!
When we peacefully kneel and protest against police brutality, we’re called bad people
When we riot against racial oppression and police brutality , they call us bad people
When Nazis go to Charlottesville to terrorize and kill people, President Trump calls them very fine people.

Rampant Racism Throughout SFPD
By: Leon Kwasi Kuntuo-Asare
A San Francisco city employee, who was teaching anti-bias classes for two-years, recently came forward with frustration with the rampant anti-black racism that is widespread in the department.The now ex-Department of Human Resources manager said to his superiors in a farewell email:
The degree of anti-black sentiment throughout SFPD is extreme.
Dante King wrote in the email to DHR Director Micki Callahan, (San Francisco) Examiner obtained the email through a public records request past week.
King later said:
While there are some SFPD who possess somewhat of a balanced view of racism and anti-blackness, there are an equal number (if not more)-who possess and exude deeply anti-black sentiment.
The U.S. Department of Justice reviewed the SFPD in October of 2016, and discovered the department had:
numerous indicators of implicit and institutionalized bias against minority groups.
As of this writing the SFPD has only completed 16% of the 272 recommendations for reform that were issued by the U.S. Department of Justice.
