  1. Democrats being racist? Anyone actually surprised by this?

  2. I heard that this Martinez lady was discussing not only black people and dark brown Mexicans from her culture in a racist manner but she apparently was talking disparaging about the Jews and I don't see the Jewish organizations demanding to take her and the other 3 men council members on a tour of the Holocaust Survivor museum and a tour on radio stations apologizing to the Jewish community and to maybe cough up some coin in a donation to their organization you know like they did to Nick Cannon, Whoopie Goldberg and many other black people so they could keep their stuff and jobs in entertainment, I just find that interesting, that it's been well over 24 & 48 hrs since this story broke and silence from the Jewish organization at least like we are accustom to. But also these 4 need to resign from council as apparently according to the council bylaw or Constitution for L.A when more than three council members meet in council to discuss anything related to policy and they were discussing redistricting which not only would seriously impact the black community but also the black dark Mexicans Martinez was calling "Short and Ugly" also requires a meeting be called of all council members and that the public be notified so their evil racist discussion on redistricting is a violation and there should either be criminal charges or a definite resignation as they violated their own Constitution or Bylaws.

  5. Why is this a surprise? They are politicians? Read a bit of history

  6. Another day in the life of Identity Politics.

  7. She's not sorry for the comments she made she is only sorry she got caught

  8. Adios Nury! Buenos Nachos. carne asada… THE struggle version of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark

  9. SMH they will sit there smile right in ur face and secretly behind ur back hate you because of the color of ur skin. And this stupid woman doesn't realize she's a minority too dummy. Only apologized after getting caught its phony and it doesnt need to be accepted.

  10. What's stupid is most Mexicans are racist as if white ppl won't treat them like crap.

  11. One of my black friends used to say "Latin people are very prejudiced against us." I didn't know this at the time. Now I think she's probably right.

  12. Who cares. If I lived on that street across from here and those brain dead protestors were out there I would get one of those old big leaf blower things and have cow poop blown all over them. Eff them. The rest deserve sleep, not stupid chants.

  13. The bigger issue is of the 3 elected council members and the crooked labor lead planning redistricting in secret. All kinds of ETHICS LAWS WERE VIOLATED…. AND THESE MEDIA OUTLETS ARE TRYING TO DIVERT PUBLIC OPINION FROM THE FACTS THESE PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO VOTER DISENFRANCHISE BLACK PEOPLE!!! THIS IS NOT OVER!!! THERE IS POTENTIAL CRIMINAL AND CIVIL AND ETHICS VIOLATIONS HERE!!!

  14. Liberals being Racist? Surely not! Lmao.

  15. Sooo, she wanted to beat up a 2 year old? She better step down from the board completely.

  16. These are democrats aren't they? You voted them in. Embrace it.

  17. Absolutely appalling that council members to one of the largest cities in the nation could even speak that way much less think that way! Totally “unacceptable” & will not be tolerated here in L.A. nor anywhere else! They should be “TERMINATED” & barred from the State of California! Not made to resign because that would entitle them to possible severance pay, overtime/sick pay and/or other benefits those snake-ticians acquired into their salaries.

    Furthermore, why in the hell has nothing been done since this occurred over a year ago!!!
    I hold the entire “City Council” accountable for not enacting on this immediately! They are just as guilty for not bringing this out to the constituents of Los Angeles City! The City of Angelenos have been betrayed by our very own City Council, therefore the entire City Council must be “TERMINATED” as they cannot be trusted not only to conduct business but to do so in a trustworthy/honorable manner!

    TERMINATE ALL 15 COUNCIL MEMBERS FORTHWITH FOR DISHONOR, DISLOYALTY & DISRESPECT TO THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES!

  18. Racist Hispanics? Why is this so shocking? They are the slickest ones.

  19. LA City Democrat. If she was a Republican you’d make that the first word in your headline. Stop glossing over it. She’s a democrat and a racist. I’m sure they weren’t going to redistrict solely to benefit themselves either…

  20. I don’t believe that’s a racist remark she’s just describing the kid is acting like a monkey in a mature adult environment when there’s no horse playing around but this is my opinion I’m from the south of Texas seen and heard way worse racial remarks than that
