Protests Planned After Top L.A. Democrat Caught Using Racial Slurs in Leaked Audio

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/ryanledendecker/2022/10/10/protests-planned-after-top-l-a-democrat-caught-using-racial-slurs-in-leaked-audio-n1635815

Quote
This was evidenced most recently in diverse Los Angeles, where a group of the city’s top leaders, including the L.A. City Council president, were heard on a leaked audio recording spewing disgustingly racist rhetoric aimed at a white city council member’s two-year-old Black son.
...
The recording was of a conversation that reportedly took place in 2021 “during a private meeting with Councilmembers Gil Cedillo and L.A. County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera,” according to NBC Los Angeles. During the meeting, members of the council, including City Council President Nury Martinez, made several shameful, nasty remarks.

CNN noted that the 2021 private meeting of council members was pretty routine — until it wasn’t:

Quote
Much of the conversation focused on maps proposed by the city’s redistricting commission and the councilmembers’ frustration with them, as well as the need to “ensure that heavily Latino districts did not lose economic assets” in the once-in-a-decade process, according to the Times.

The councilmembers then discussed Councilmember Mike Bonin, a White man. In clips of the leaked audio posted by the Times, Martinez is heard recounting a conversation and says “Bonin thinks he’s f**king Black.”

According to the Times, Martinez says Bonin appeared with his son on a float in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade and he “handled his young Black son as though he were an accessory.”

The Times reported that Martinez also said of Bonin’s child, “Parece changuito,” or “He’s like a monkey.”

Just to indicate who is covering this, as mentioned in this article, it's the LA Times (who may have broke the story), LA's NBC outlet, and CNN. This story probably won't disappear under the floor covering, in the Land of LA, at least.

Black-Hispanic conflict and racism is a fissure Dems need to manage, and this shows they really are not. Cedillo is a major figure in CA's Dem Party, though he lost his council seat to someone more extreme (think AOC-grade) than Cedillo is.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

But she didn't give up the seat. :rant:

Typical. More than happy to stay on and wreak more havoc, just not as the person wielding the gavel.

I did read earlier today that "pressure is rising" for those cretins involved to resign -- their seats, not just a position on the council. We'll see what happens.

Cedillo, as bad as he is, will in 2023 be replaced by an AOC-grade loon, and Mad Maxine gets reelected every 2 years. There are significant parts of the Land of LA that is solidly racist-socialist. At this point, the best non-loony LA residents can hope for is that incidents like this keep the loons racist against each other, diverting their energies from further damaging their city.

The union president-thug also resigned from his union leadership, https://ktla.com/news/local-news/labor-union-president-resigns-following-leaked-recording-of-racist-conversation-reports/ . I guess blacks and some Hispanics and whites and etc. were less than thrilled with his participation in that outburst of racism.

Evidently this bit of racism is getting at least some national-level media coverage (it's but one of several recent scandals in upper level LA city gooberment). In all likelihood, had this racism only been directed at whites, media coverage would have been approximately zero.

Nury Martinez also makes crude comments about Jews and Armenians in leaked audio

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-10-11/nury-martinez-leak-reveals-crude-comments-about-jews-armenians

Quote
In the same leaked audio clips posted to Reddit in which former Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez made racist remarks about Black people and Oaxacans, she also made crude remarks about Jewish people and Armenians.

Martinez said Tuesday that she would take a leave of absence from the City Council, two days after a recording surfaced on which she was heard deriding some of her colleagues and making racist remarks. Martinez stepped down as City Council president Monday.

In the recording reviewed by The Times, Martinez can be heard saying the “judíos” — which means Jews in Spanish — “cut their deal with South L.A.”

Oaxaca is a city and state in Mexico. Mexico has its regional rivalries, but I suspect that "Oaxacans" may be a racist-ethnicist term for dark-skinned (= indigenous or mixed Spanish-indigenous) Mexican people, a prejudice dating to the 1500s. I'd welcome TPF's Mexican resident member(s) setting me straight or elaborating, of course.

Taking a step back from specific vilenesses in the recording, this discussion took place nearly a year ago, in a context of city council re-districting. There are likely to be multiple agendas underlying releasing this now, and not when it happened. During that nearly one year a city council election happened, in which at least one participant was voted out (replaced by a worse crazy, unfortunately). It seems at least possible - though I have zero evidence for this - that the person who had custody of this recording did not want to affect that election, but did want to sabotage the future of at least one of the participants (Cue Twilight Zone music).

The chutzpah and audacity of those scum. It shouldn't matter one whit if Cedillo lost his primary bid -- he needs to go yesterday.

de Leon also needs to read the tea leaves and unass the council yesterday.

Martinez -- hey, sweetheart -

As I mentioned above, Cedillo will be replaced by a Proggier-than-thou crazy. This incident would not have happened had these four not felt thoroughly secure in their tribalistic racism. If the Land of LA ever turns away from more extreme Progs, it's well into the future, unfortunately. And the time between will be increasing ugliness - racism-tribalism, crime, and violence.

The union leader-thug also stepped down from leadership. I'll bet all those black, white, Asian, and etc. union members just loved learning how the guy viewed their interests!

For the lack of a better word, I used "tribalism" as a word for the Hispanics vs. blacks conflict this incident exemplified.

It very much surprises me that national-level MSM have given this story more than token coverage. LA is the US' second largest city, but the MSM have had no problem minimizing and skewing stories about NYC's and Chicago's violence.

Could it be, in your opinion, an effort to try and portray Latinos as victims (against blacks) in an effort to "win back" the Latino vote for the Dems?

If there's an element of truth to that, that would mean that the Dems are pretty much giving up on "winning back" the black vote, at least in LA. Probably not so much in the other Dem-infested cities.

I really don't know what agendas are being served by suddenly releasing tape of something that happened almost a year ago nor by it getting substantial national coverage. What it highlights to me is that activists for various ethnic minorities see each other as competitors for power and dominance and $$ (not that this is news to me). I doubt, however, that MSM really want that to be perceived.

Well, this is the season for "October Surprises" and while the national effort doesn't play in this case, as you point out, it is very much a "gotcha" situation for those three on the LA council. It all serves its purpose. And I suspect you're also correct by saying those ethnic minorities are competing with each other for power and money, which is pretty much a given in politics.
