I want the other two who were in that conversation GONE TOO!!!
If that kid needs a beatdown can you please tell me what in the world you need for that crazy hairline and dye job?? The whole look is very distracting and the public is owed an apology for that too.
Wtf is Oaxacan?
As a lifelong democrat I have to say it is the Democrat party that are truly racist and obsessed with race over all qualities or considerations
It’s always the people the favour witches say the most about other people
When will we ever learn. We are all human beings first.
If that's racism then I've heard worse on national TV by literally every dem leader or media bot
At least she didn't say the "N" word … Out Loud !
Soo this is THE FIRST latina in that position huh?? 🤔🤔🤔.
We NEED that wall!
Facts…

Neither one is truly sorry or remorseful only sorry they got caught
Just proof that mezcans are the most racist people. They always claim to be one of us, but then talk trash when we turn around.
I blame you joe Biden. She got it from you
The truth is that the most of the people are o said something racist about someone the only bad thing is that they got caught.
Los estados unidos con Los gringos! Racist..let me in para mis derechos!
This is why I can't vote Republican!
Democrats laughing in your face..mis derechos! I am so oppressed gringos!
Sounds about normal
She spoke the truth

She thought she was untouchable, looking like Wicked Witch of the West and Cruella de Vil at the same time. She's only sorry that she got caught! So arrogant!
Pure mean and ugly!!
You're racists..
free speech
The so called, Hispanics, or Latinos, come in all races, Native American Indians, like many Bolivians, Guatemalans, and Mexicans. Chinese, Japanese people, like many Peruvians. Black African descent Hispanics, like many Panamanians, Dominicans, and Cubans. Whites, like Uruguayans, Spaniards, and Argentinians. Also, the mix of Native American Indians, and whites, like Salvadorians, Paraguayans, and Chileans. And so on, and so on.
DISGUSTING NASTY DESPICABLE DEMOCRATS
Nury is a primate!
She needs to do more than just resign as president. She referred to Mike's son as a "monkey" and said he needed a "beatdown". A child that was unwanted until his true father/dad aka Mike Bonin came along. Who leaked the video it should not have taken a year for this to come out. And all those who stood by and said nothing to this worthless hateful woman is just as bad as her. It is NOT OK! Get that beast out of the office.
She wanted to take that black kid of rainbow parents to the corner to show him a lesson of some kind…. That is extremely horrible.. the President is supposed to set an example for decorum and she’s show the world who the real RACISTS are! and she hides behind the veil of her light skin
This is nothing new. I observed the struggle between Hispanic and black groups for control of the civil service, jobs. If residents were not asleep, they could have observed the deadly struggle between the V13 gang and the Shoreline Crips for control of the drug trade on the westside, with over 20 murders. The 4 council people only regret that someone got a recording. Their apologies are insincere. You can only hope that their political careers will be over.
I love how the narrator can’t properly pronounce the name Herrera in Spanish. The h is silent.
I would bet a million dollars that more people knew about this tape and I'm pretty sure the mayor even knew about the tape but now he's cleaning he's he's wiping his hands for elections but he had to know about the tape
Oh, please. Why are people upset? This is America. I would be surprised if they weren’t racist bigots.
I'd like to see them in person. I have some choice words for those racist. All three
I can't believe some people are on her side. did I call them people? I meant some POS are on her side
Why do they keep saying she resigned. It's a ploy to ramp down the outrage. She only resigned from being the president of the council. She is still on the city council
She called him a monkey but it sure don't justify all the media attention I see pedophiles don't get this but as soon as you mention race well there you go that's the only problem I see
Get all them racist democrats out of here!
She stepped down from leadership…but remains on the board…why isn't she gone completely.
Mono, LOL
The USA is a sociopath factory.
What kind of morals does it take for underprivileged groups to hate each other?
Moral Americans are nearly impossible to find. There's something deeply wrong with this culture.
