This is the perfect story for #HispanicHeritageMonth2022. A secret recording of Latinx L.A. Councilmembers (including bipedal garbage can Gil Cedillo) just themselves a casual racist anti-Black plática. Also, Nury Martínez making racist remarks about Oaxacans. Guillotine time!

The City of LA has the largest Indigenous Oaxacan community in the US, spanning five generations since the 1950s, smh to city council remarks, "I don’t know where these ppl are from. I don’t know what village they came from. How they got here…. estan feos (They are ugly)!"

Happy Hispanic Heritage month 😐 If this is “representation”, we don’t want it.

Not shocking that LA politicians are racist, we have been telling you that Latine ppl are anti Black and anti Indigenous. It about time y’all listen. Being Zapotec is not close to the same thing as being Mexican.

Nury Martinez, Kevin de León, Gill Cedillo & Ron Herrera’s comments are very illustrative of the limits of latinidad. In a conversation about building a “ Latino caucus” they made it clear that us, Oaxacans are a racial other. “ Short little dark people” they do not represent.

Nury Martinez, a Latina, making racist comments about indigenous Oaxacans is the perfect example of colonization and why Indigenous People's Day matters. It's about time we call out Latine supremacists.

This sounds far to familiar to the conversations Latinx parents n tias n tios are having over dinner… reminder to check your family and those around you while you shout justice smh

These leaked tapes of 3 LA City Council Members are vile. They need to resign. The fact that there are more 😬

Someone said “Oaxaca culture is really beautiful and their cheese goes crazy” 😭😭😂😂😂😂 lmao I’m fucking weak yo

When r we going to stop calling it by its name, RACIAL VIOLENCE?! When our Indigenous & Black children are attacked for the color of their skin, certain features, etc. it is not bullying!!! IT IS RACIAL VIOLENCE! WHITE (LATINX) SUPREMACY INHERENTLY TIED TO SETTLER COLONIALISM!!!

I got a campaign cold call today where the pitch was, “ Vote for … because they are a Latino candidate and they care about…” Look, Nury and her ghoul squad set your movement waaaay back. Running on a platform of “look at me I’m Latino” isn’t going to cut it anymore.

Non-Black/non-Indigenous Latinxs being violently anti-Black, homophobic, perpetuating child abuse, spewing anti-Indigenous sentiments… a very on brand Latinx Heritage Month.

Stand in solidity with indigenous & black & lgbtqi community tonite. CIELO we will in downtown and south la with Community Coalition #wearehere #IndigenousPeoplesDay #INDIGENOUS

While CIELO is pleased to learn that now former Councilwoman @CD6Nury has resigned the City Council, her refusal to apologize for her anti-Indigenous and anti-Black racism is unacceptable.

Yes Nury you have inspired us- to come together, call you out, and fight back!
