The obvious big headline is that four Democratic Latinos were involved in this conversation where the President of the LA City Council made these racist statements. But it's more interesting the dynamic behind them. Many places in this country are old school in the sense the population is mostly white and black. But Los Angeles is almost 50% Latino. And no Republicans hold office in the City. So the battle going on was over redistricting but not in the traditional sense of Republicans and Democrats because Democrats were going to win all the seats but rather how these districts would be divided up in terms of Latino and Black. And as America continues to diversity we'll likely see more of this because it's no longer the 1970's where whites dominate everything and a couple of 'black seats' are carved out.

Growing minority populations want more political power. The black population of LA was high in the 70's and 80's and black people won some political power in the City. Now Latinos have a much bigger presence but haven't got the corresponding political power to go with it. Hence the tension here.

Just reading up about this, Bonin is white, progressive, and in a gay marriage with an adopted black son. Sounds pretty normal by LA standards.

God bless America and our democracy.

Martinez is still on the council but I'm guessing her days are numbered. The same might hold true for other participants in the conversation.

If I try, REALLY hard?

I might be able to BEGIN to care much what the fuck this thread is talking about.

Nah...cannot be bothered.

To piss off assholes.

Trolls/assholes will take the joke personally (why? I have no idea.) - and act retarded.
Decent/cool people will simply take it as a joke and move on.

I come on chat forums for four reasons - teach, learn, pick on trolls and kill time.

Why don't you get off your arse and go fuck women instead, or men if that's more to your liking.

Who says I am not (well...not at this very moment. In general.)?
But one cannot be intimate with one's lady...ALL the time.

:laugh:...and who are you to talk?
You are an incel who is in love with Jordan Peterson.

You are both an incel AND a neocon?
Shit...that is one, PATHETIC combination.

Bye now.

I thinks my two sons would be surprised to hear that, I assure you they weren't born by immaculate conception.

:laugh:

a) claiming something, unproven online, means little/nothing.

b) even if it is true?
Just because you had sex twice...many years ago.

Does not mean you are still, sexually active.
Or - more importantly - sexually active in a mutually, satisfying way for both you and your partner.

The fact that you referred above to sex/intimacy as 'go fuck women'?
Something only pigs/incels and/or teenagers talk like.

Plus, the fact that you CLEARLY, adore Jordan Peterson - the self-admitted, 'intellectual hero for incels'?

STRONGLY suggests that you either are an incel at present.
Or you are a misogynist.
Or both.

All are pathetic.
Especially for a man of your age.


Anyway, I have things I would rather do then natter on with neocon, incel/misogynist trolls.

We are done here.

Bye now.

Oh..and remember, pal.

You started this.
Not me.

I simply made a joke.
About a city over 4,500 nautical miles from where you live.
In a different country.
And you were the one who got bent out of shape about it.

Good day.

Is there such thing as a white Republican in L.A. County? Or should I say, Republican?

There are individual Republicans but I'm not sure if there are any elected Republicans in LA County. So that's the thing, these LA City races are basically competitions between Democrats.

Agreed. It's one of the Democrat's Biggest Blue Cities (BBCs) with gang problems, corruption and a liberal elite. Always fun to watch.

Most Republicans are outside the cities and further north:
