What Los Angeles needs more than resignations after leaked racist audio
"Many of us in Los Angeles are still in shock from the recently leaked audio recording of politicians spewing racist and hateful language. I’m still unable to find the exact words to express how I feel, but here are a few: Heartbroken. Exploited. Hoodwinked. Unrepresented. Despised. Afraid. And, of course, offended.
In the more than hourlong recording of a redistricting meeting last year, we can hear City Council members Kevin de León, Gil Cedillo and council President Nury Martinez, along with Ron Herrera, the president of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, strategizing how to draw districts that would give Latinx people more power.
It laid bare the true colors of four of the most influential Latinx leaders in the country, whose collective power affects nearly 4 million Angelenos.
On the surface, it seems to be an understandable goal, because although Latinx people make up nearly half of L.A., they hold fewer than a third of the council seats. But the meeting quickly turned to ridiculing Black (including a 2-year-old), LGBTQ and Oaxacan communities."
