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):

How in the world are leftists going to claim that all Latinos are racists because we say Negro or Moreno? Negro means black Moreno means brown.
Those hateful idiots don’t know what they are saying.
Our racism is systemic in the latinoamerican community, right?
Latinos hate blacks...what a shock. Spaniards and Castizos also hate Mestizos and Amerindians. Who would have thought they would bring their class system with them?
The hatred is mutual, from my experience. I find it hard to believe that everyone doesn't know that.
Nury Martinez stepped down as leader and later resigned from office.
Doesn’t know what? 😁👍
So White Supremacy is a conservative/Republican trait? Once again, liberals show their ignorance of the most basic world history and genetics-our DNA is mostly Caucasian, since Spaniards came from Europe-most of us Hispanics have at least a bit of Native American DNA-so white is just a skin shade, the same as it is for Italians, French, etc-so I guess we’ve become “White Supremacists”, since the horror of conservatism has been discovered in the ranks? Now, that really IS racist...
They said the things that were not for saying.
White Hispanics strike again! The white and black power structure at LA City Hall are afraid of the growing Hispanic political power in the City of Angels, and it’s no coincidence this audio is dropped weeks before the LA mayoral race as Karen Bass attempts to become the first black woman to be mayor there.
I know many Latinos. Often one nationality of Hispanics hate another , like Dominicans despise Puerto Rican’s - is this also white supremacy?
“Latinos disparaging blacks equals white supremacy? I have a headache.”
EVERYTHING is white supremacy .
Wait a minute , did you just breathe ?
You just breathed in the air that was exhaled 200 years ago by your white slave owning relatives.
How does it feel white colonial oppressor ?????!!!!!
Well maybe that was SLIGHTLY exaggerated .
But not by much.
I think it’s pretty safe to say they’ve overplayed the snot outta the race card now.
LaRaza...
You forgot the viva part. 😂🙌
yup...
