Get the hell on! Racist, Anti-Black LA council members must all resign | Roland Martin

In California, the Los Angeles City Council president resigns today following backlash over racist comments she made.

The conversation from October 2021 was with Councilmembers Gil Cedillo, Kevin de León, and LA County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera.

During the conversation, they discussed redrawing council district boundaries to their benefit, weakening Black political representation, efforts to replace Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas, and racist language about Councilman Mike Bonin’s adopted son.

On Monday, Roland spoke with Erika D. Smith, Los Angeles Times Columnist and Culture Critic, Jasmyne Cannick about the controversy surrounding the Los Angeles City Council.
