Hold the phones, my “betters” have been telling me that only white people are capable of being racist. Do I have to learn new rules now to be a good little ideological slave?

the past 2 years, I have spoken to many mexicans and a majority of them are mad about BLM, thinking they are the superior race above everyone else. We “try” to all get along but deep down, we dont.

In addition, they always say they witness them do the stealing in stores, and breaking property.

“... anti-Black and anti-Indigenous attitudes prevail,”


For all of their apparent reverence of the Indian heritage of Mexico, and in spite of the fact that most Mexicans have a lot of Indian ancestry, Mexicans don’t hold Indians in high regard, in fact quite the contrary.

And of course there is no love lost between Mexicans/Hispanics and black Americans.

All the policies these racist have created should be reexamined and scrutinized.

Isn’t it interesting that, now that it seems that the Left may be losing ground with Latinos who seem to be increasingly leaning and voting Republican, that the leftist press makes a big hullabaloo about this incident? It seems to me that in the not too distant past, something like this would have been downplayed, smoothed over, or covered up. Blacks have been, and continue to be, a sure bet for the Democrats to keep on the plantation. Latinos, not so much anymore.

Nury Martinez "resigned," but she is still being paid $207,000 per year as a member of the Los Angeles City Council.

Some "resignation."

I love how MSM and Biden are pushing the lie that the woman who said it resigned when all she did was change the chair she sits in.

Not to long ago Latinos were considered White in the census and government paperwork. IIRC Indians were too.
