The drug overdose death of George Floyd, a violent criminal, led to a corporate moral panic and mass political hysteria in which hundreds of millions of dollars were thrown at anyone claiming to speak for the black community.
Nice work if you can get it. Sheryl Davis got it.
Sheryl Davis, once San Francisco’s most powerful civil rights watchdog, continued her spectacular fall on Monday when she was booked on suspicion of a raft of felony charges including misappropriation of public funds and perjury, the Chronicle has learned.
Davis, who oversaw the San Francisco Human Rights Commission under former Mayor London Breed, was booked on the same morning as James Spingola, the former CEO of Collective Impact, a nonprofit Davis funded, according to jail records.
Davis was tapped by Breed in 2021 to lead the Dream Keeper Initiative, the city’s response to the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd. The effort started with a pledge to redirect $60 million a year from law enforcement to fund programs aimed at helping the Black community.
Davis signed contracts awarding $1.5 million in Dream Keeper funds to Collective Impact in 2021 and 2022 but did not disclose to the city that she and Spingola lived together. The Chronicle first reported that she used city resources to promote herself and publicize her self-published children’s book. A city audit later found that the Human Rights Commission mispent more than $4 million under her leadership on payments deemed “frivolous, unethical and unjustifiable.”
If only there had been some sort of warning sign…
Davis was one of the most powerful officials in San Francisco. Her position overseeing Breed’s Dream Keeper Initiative gave her sway over city spending beyond her own department. Beyond City Hall, she led a community group, MegaBlack SF, whose members used a call and response chant that contained the line, “we give all honor to our queen Sheryl Davis.”
Let’s face it, Davis was appointed to redistribute the wealth. And in predictable fashion, she redistributed the wealth to her own circle. As minority representatives do again and again. Liberals insist we need to put more money into the black community and then they watch as the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton get rich, while the black community is no better off. The same pattern replayed itself with the Congressional Black Caucus and ten thousand petty DEI bosses who enrich themselves in classic Tammany Hall fashion. And then play on white guilt.
In 2023, for example, the Human Rights Commission paid $8,000 to a nonprofit Total Women Empowerment Inc. to fund a “Queen’s Weekend Retreat,” with the stated purpose of helping the unknown participants “serve themselves to continue to service their community.”
The department spent $685,123 on San Francisco Giants tickets, rental of the Golden State Warriors’ Chase Center, and air fare. Restaurant rentals and catering cost taxpayers $353,113, and Davis spent $79,950 on a house rental and other fees at Martha’s Vineyard.
If only George Floyd could have lived to also rent a house on Martha’s Vineyard.
Sheryl Davis is not all that black. There is a lot of white in her. Your average African American is 10% to 11% white.
Really, really not Black. I met a person from Sudan, who probably won the Obama visa lottery. He was BLACK! His skin had that dark as you can get dark, dark brown look and even looked blue or black in some areas. Almost like gun glue. on the skin.
He was literally Black! Sheryl Davis not so much. In fact Sheryl looks a lot white and more Caucasian than my spouse.
I am sick of grifters like her, who spent their time in school making sure they had no real, marketable skillls.
Black lives matter? Our government-dominated schools are failing to get that message across to black women who have an abortion rate that is much higher than for white people.
As much as I detest Destroying Education through Indoctrination, we should concede the upside of teaching children they are the oppressed or the oppressors depending on the color of their skin is that it helped get Donald Trump re-elected.
Is it “systemic racism” that explains the criminal acts of “Reverend” Jesse Jackson’s son? Does that same racism explain Jesse’s love child with a staffer? Jesse was the genius who got caught saying he wanted to cut Obama’s nuts off. I suspect Mrs. Jackson wanted to cut Jesse’s nuts off. Would that have made Jesse “less of a woman?”
I support making every current slaveowner in the U.S. pay reparations to all of their current slaves.
Nothing new here. Grifters and money like moths to a flame.
It’s an old joke, I know, but, D E I stands for… “Didn’t Earn It.”
“Her longtime partner, James Spingola,” (See Mission Local dot org or MSN dot com ) looks like Heninz 57.
He looks like he has a little of everything. So how racists can America be?
I think we should stop calling it wealth redistribution. it was never distributed it the first place, it was earned. We should call it what it is – wealth distribution.
“That which one receives without working for, another works for without receiving.”
One of the things that irritated me about the George Floyd riots was distance. There is about 2,000 miles between San Francisco and Minneapolis.
Even if Floyd’s death was caused by over zealous police, they chances of it being the same police approaches zero. SF had zero control over the Minneapolis police. Businesses in SF had zero control over the Minneapolis police. No one in SF controlled Minneapolis police.
Riots in SF were about looting. BLM was about looting. Sheryl Davis was about looting.
I don’t feel a thing for this woman or San Francisco. They’re all brain-rot liberals who deserve each other. This woman has obviously hoisted herself on her own petard. San Francisco liberals should pay for their stupidity and be gracious about it. If they have any complaints about what this dumb ass did, go tell it to that dickless beta boy Gavin Newscum..
San Francisco, once a jewell of a city has not become a dump. Tourism that once was SF’s GDP is in the dumps. Just as NYC tourism is going to suffer badly for the next 4 years.
Frisco has been the dumps for 20 years because of the politics of corruption.
I lived in Frisco in the early 1970’s and opined to live there or the Bay area until I retired and moved the hell outta CommieFornia.
Sad it is.
How commie is San Francisco? I saw this article just this morning:
This is all it takes to stop a train
In the San Francisco Bay Area, the subway has gone dark three times in less than a year, leaving commuters stranded and stations taped off. Reporter Rachel Swan sits down with host David Ruiz to dig into why BART keeps failing, what “aging infrastructure” really means, and why the fix is harder than it sounds.
I’ve never lived where I had to take metro rails except in Taiwan. Efficiency, cleanliness, no homeless bums and insane criminal minded. No trash, no graffitti. Efficient. Crowded during rush hours, yes, but in between those hours, a delight.

Sad it is. I pray this November, there will be a regime change in CommieFornia that will bring sanity back to the state that will trickle down to all counties and cities. I also pray I will be young again with my life experience. What are the odds for either? Me getting young again, zero chance.

PEOPLE – don’t you see REPARATIONS when you see it?? Now it might not be CALLED that, but to those who SEEK reparations, their “inner islam” takes over and it’s OK! If decent Americans really knew how much of their MONEY is STOLEN they’d be roaming the streets with pitchforks and ropes!
Wait…. a black woman in a position of influence is corrupt?!?!? Stop the presses!!!!
Good that the focus is on Democrat officials at the top of the corruption pyramid, not on the little guys on the bottom. Don’t want to scare the little guys into voting for Democrats.
