Everyone is shocked, shocked, by the racist Latina Nury Martinez, now former President of the Los Angeles City Council.
But of course the politicans of LA are racist. Yes, yes, of course, dear liberals, I am missing the point. They are not racists, but anti-racists, battling as allies of the oppressed peoples against the white oppressors and their evil spawn.
But it shows, doesn’t it, that in a multi-racial city like LA, the politics is all about race. OK, not exactly race, but, let us say, urban tribes. In the US urban politics has been all about urban tribes since not later than the Irish showing up in Boston and New York in the wake of the Potato Famine.
Why is that? Because, contra Marx, lower class urban immigrants don’t so much identify with their class as with their ethnic origin, particularly because they have left the old country and left its political antagonisms behind. Because, you see, politics is all about finding friends to join you in defending yourself against the enemy. And you need friends in a strange new country.
According to Steve Sailer, the way to understand LA politics is that:
“South L.A.” means black, West L.A. means Jewish (or “Jewish” means West L.A.), “North L.A.” means white (although often Jewish), and “East L.A.” means Latino.
So when the pols are redistricting they obviously want to help their friends and shaft their enemies.
But here’s the problem. Latinos are almost half of Angelinos, and blacks are down to about 10 percent. Yet the council is as follows:
2 gays (1 Jewish, 1 a guy with an Irish name who claims to be Native American)
2 Jews
1 Armenian
1 Italian
4 Hispanics
3 blacks
2 Asians
So you can see that Latinos are underrepresented on the LA Council and this is racist.
Yet the Latina President of the council is the one getting the shaft. Can you spell Oppression?
But note that there are no white whites on the council. So where are the White Oppressors that the Allies and the Oppressed Peoples are fighting? The Jews of West LA? Yet there are three Jews on the council.
It all illustrates the other problem I have understanding blue city politics. LA has a Soros prosecutor, George Gascon, that is freeing accused criminals left and right with the no bail policy. But why do the voters put up with this? And why does the Democratic elite insist on continuing this approach to urban policing?
By the way did you know that George Soros is intermarried with the Dem elite? (No doubt malinformation from 2020)
*YES, the governor of Michigan used to work for George Soros.
*YES, Adam Schiff’s sister is married to George Soros’ son.
*YES, Hillary’s daughter, Chelsea, is married to George Soros’ nephew.
But I still don’t really understand the whole “defund the police” and no bail prosecuting. Other than it is just ruling class conceit and vanity. Because we are the Anointed and the Oppressed Peoples are our particular Mascots.
I suppose that if you vote for the Democrats, because they fight for people like you, then you vote for them anyway, even if, for some unaccountable reason, the gangbangers are shooting up the neighborhood and your neighbor’s 5-year-old daughter got shot a couple of days ago.
Anyway, snitches get stitches, and don’t you forget it.
