@TheGussReport on Twitter - Paternalistic racism is back in fashion at LA City Hall. Did it ever really go away?
This week, while voters in Council District 6 hold a primary to decide who will replace disgraced former City Council president Nury Martinez, things are being handled quite differently in Council District 10, whose leadership for the past two years, the next two years and perhaps for the eight years after that, will have the heavy-handed influence of current City Council president Paul Krekorian, who is White.
And the man he is trying to single-handedly replace, the now-federal felon Mark Ridley-Thomas, is Black.

But why should that be, especially since the 10th District is 92% non-White?
Because it's LA City Hall, where it is business as usual, and the business is paternalism, racism and disenfranchisement.
