The difference between your complaints about people saying offensive things to you and someone displaying their racist beliefs is that there is data that demonstrates the effects of that bias from employment opportunity, housing and criminal justice. They are not merely words, they are words followed by gross discrimination in bigotry in other arenas. It is admirable that people wish to remove such racists from government because they do have an effect.
I seriously doubt what he says on facebook has any effect on what he does as a Mayor. People who read what he writes might get mad, but that's about the only effect it can have. Now, if he implemented an ordinance based on those things, that would be different. But as it exists now, we're only talking about facebook postings.
