Brickbat: It Doesn't Add Up

San Francisco Mayor London Breed and other elected officials have criticized the city Election Commission's decision not to renew the contract of Elections Director John Arntz. By their account, he took over a troubled department 20 years ago and turned it around, running smooth and fair elections. Even the commissioners who voted not to renew his contract said they have no problem with his job performance. "Our decision wasn't about your performance, but after twenty years we wanted to take action on the City's racial equity plan and give people an opportunity to compete for a leadership position," said commission President Chris Jerdonek in an email to Arntz, who is white.

You've done a great job, but, you're a member of an oppressive race so you gotta go bitch.
You gotta admit though, the complete openness on the racist reason for not renewing his contract was impressive. The commission all but said they made their decision because he's a straight white male.
That just means that our country is so far down the path to perdition that they no longer fear any consequences for their racism.
Yeah this. In San Francisco it is now officially acceptable to to discriminate against white people, and only white people.
Equity! Finally.

That means he can now sue them.
Maybe. Not sure of California law, but his contract ending and not being renewed is different than being fired?
I don't know the law on this either, but by saying out loud the reason they didn't renew his contract because of skin color sounds like something that the courts wouldn't take kindly to.
As usual the virtue signalers shoot their own foot off by stating the real reasons.
Not sure of California law
Doesn't matter. CRA is federal law (imagine saying a black man can't be in charge of an election) and, according to Reason and FIRE even if you did some actual things your employer should have every right to disapprove of an terminate you over, even having your contract lapse is synonymous with firing.

Whether technically a "non-renewal" or a "firing", in well-established federal case law, it's illegal racial discrimination in an employment decision and a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Only protected classes can sue. White, hetero males are not protected.
And this is the heart of the systemic racism.
Ha! That was just a cover story for their wanting a crook in charge of rigging elections.
By their account, he took over a troubled department 20 years ago and turned it around, running smooth and fair elections.
Was he in charge of the election that saw three ultra-woke school board members bounced? If so, then I think I see the commission's problem with him.

The South Africa plan.
It doesn't add up is an expression used to express frustration or confusion when something does not make sense. It is typically used when the numbers or facts don't match, when something is not adding up correctly, or when something is inconsistent or doesn't make sense.
"Our decision wasn't about your performance, but after twenty years we wanted to take action on the City's racial equity plan and give people an opportunity to compete for a leadership position,"
Just not you or anybody who looks like you. You know, just "people" and you're not a "people". You know who else considered certain people to be sub-human?
Every indigenous tribe ever?
KHHHHHHHHAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN?
Yahweh?
Hillary?
Me?
KAR, is that you?
Fascists gotta do fascism
It's nice to see that they were brave enough to display the right kind of racism. So courageous and important eh?
"You've done a good job preventing widespread election fraud because you're white. Time to let someone else have a try."
translation: all black people are dishonest Democrats.
Poor sarc.
Not all black people are Democrats.
Considering the fact that mad.casual still believes Trump won the election due to rampant fraud by Democrats, and mad.causual literally just said the only reason there wasn't fraud in this case was because dude is white, the logical conclusion of mad.casuals' comment is that all black people are Democrats who cheat in elections.
OIC, so it’s ‘both sides’ unless there’s more than two dimensions, then it’s just a one-dimensional Trump-oriented ad hominem.
Nevermind that I’ve never said that I think Trump won or would’ve won any more than I think Bernie would’ve won if the DNC hadn’t upended their primary system in order to keep him out of the election. Or that I’m not the one actually saying, “Arntz ran elections well, but has got to go because he’s white.” Your point is BOAF SIDEZ! How cogent.
I never said both sides. I just observed you being racist. That's all.
technically you observed Mad commenting on someone else being racist. in quotes even.
It's the message they're sending in a true "Don't say..." fashion. Admittedly, we're reading the tea leaves a bit, but I assume it's not limited to just "black" or "dishonest" or "Democrat". "Brown", "incompetent", and "RINO/Republican" or "Yellow", "unprincipled", and "libertarian" would work equivalently.
Presumably, a conservative/racist wouldn't have a problem with a white guy, would just want to stick with the system that worked, and would've at least jumped through the hoops to equivocate about his integrity at conducting elections.
Remember, being race neutral is so your grandmother’s civil rights era; content of character over color of skin and so forth. Today it is only accepted to be racist (I mean ANTI racist) in order to remediate all the wrongs of the past and to thoroughly expunge its legacy in the present. However one’s “lived experience “ deems it so.
Affirmative action strikes again.
racism is the excuse but more than likely he wasn't paying up to the democrat machines. Never assume your in, you gotta keep the payments up
I hope he sues these bigots and wins a bundle.
open racism is the most fun kind of all.

From each according to his competence to each according to their skin color. (Pronoun switch intended) In San Francisco, DEI is marching to a faster pace…
SPRINGTIME FOR LONDON AND EQUITY!!!
I'm still puzzled as to why there appear to be three women lined up at the urinals in the picture there. Is that really the stereotype of San Francisco, that the women are all dudes?
They tried posing out on the sidewalk but all the pics turned out shitty.
" ... he took over a troubled department 20 years ago and turned it around, running smooth and fair elections. ... "
Well democrats can't have that now can they!!
The progressive religion requires actual human sacrifice. Symbolic communion wafers don't cut it.
But the Catholic church insists that the wafers ARE human flesh. They're like, trans-wafers or something.
I get paid over 190$ per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I’d be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I’ve been doing..
