Los Angeles City Council has been rocked by a racial scandal that has already forced one member to resign. Nury Martinez, who served as city council president, initially stepped down from the leadership, but not her seat, when the 80-minute recording from October 2021 was leaked to the press, covered by The Los Angeles Times in their October 9 story. The tapes featured two council members—Gil Cedillo and Kevin de Leon. A top union official, Ron Herrera, the now-former president of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, was also featured on the tapes and resigned on October 10. The meeting was reportedly over redistricting, where Martinez was caught making cruel racist remarks about some of the city's residents, including the adopted black son of Councilman Mike Bonin. She called the child a “monkey.” Martinez resigned earlier this week, and de Leon and Cedillo might be forced to go as well now that President Joe Biden has weighed in on this public relations nightmare. He said everyone involved should resign.

Yet, the media reaction also took a turn with this NBC News piece which just had to delve into the Latino community’s dabbling in white supremacy. The initial headline read: “Los Angeles City Council members’ racist remarks point to a not-so-hidden relationship between Latinos and white supremacy" (via NBC News):

LOLOLOL! There ya go latinx-es. Now your in the same boat and no longer part of the bipoc community according to nbc.

[Still Thinking]

So it’s still ‘white supremacy’ no matter who does it. Gotcha. Thanks for delegitimizing your own thought process in public.

[skeeter]

I’ll admit to being confused by this latest development.

Latinos disparaging blacks equals white supremacy? I have a headache.

[rrrod]

This is great!

[brandberenstein]

YOU’RE WHITE SUPREMACIST! AND YOU’RE WHITE SUPREMACIST! EVERYONE IS WHITE SUPREMACIST!

[rktman]

From the orca wimpfree show?

[brandberenstein]

I would have made a meme image of that if I could find the original image

Got it? They are not “white hispanics” yet, ala George Zimmerman. They are “white supremacy complicit” hispanics.

[TexasFreeper2009]

as soon as the majority of Latinos start voting Republican, they will suddenly become: racist, an threat to our borders, and most importantly they will become white.

[KarlInOhio]

If everyone in the world is “white adjacent” including Carribean and African blacks, maybe the issue isn’t skin color.

[Varda]

There’s a big swing in the Hispanic vote brewing (looks big enough to swing Nevada). They’re gona blame it on “white supremacy “. LOL!

From the orca wimpfree show?

[rktman]

We’re hoping so.

Now that Hispanics are leaving the Democratic fold, the demonization will escalate, just as it does for conservative blacks like Candace Owens and Larry Elder. It is patently obvious that the left wants to keep blacks and Hispanics trapped in distinct sub-cultures characterized by low educational achievement, broken families or single-parent families, rampant drug use, poverty, gangs, high-crime, and a distinctive, semi-literate use of language and grammar.

Meanwhile, TV ads will rub it in their faces by depicting a fake world in which all blacks are successful professionals, living in pricey houses in upscale neighborhoods and driving high-end cars. Blacks and Hispanics must remain permanently marginalized and resentful, grateful for any crumbs their Democrat masters throw their way.

[hinckley buzzard]

Whup, there goes “intersectionality!”!

[skeeter]

Either that or “white” got nuthin to do with it.

[monkeyshine]

You should know by now the words they use have scant resemblance to their literal meaning. These euphemisms change on a regular basis, it’s hard to keep up. So just remember it isn’t about justice or equality or fairness it’s about power and money and politics. You still won’t understand what they are saying, but that’s the point.

[BitWielder1]

This has nothing to do with white supremacy, whatever they think that is.
It was just a handy smear to use when someone made a racist slur.

[AndyTheBear]

So a Latino that has a bigotry against blacks is a white supremist? Not sure how that makes sense...
