She's apologizing because she got caught. She said that because that's in her heart.

Politicians acting shameful and disgraceful?! What a shock

There are millions who think like her,she just got caught on audio

Got to love it when they show their true colors .

Her apology is absolutely diabolical and narcissistic.

Instead of demanding her resigning, how about remove her with cause and STRIP her of any benefits!!!!

Can you imagine being adopted child and hearing an adult Councilwoman speak those words.

They need to fire them all and sanitize all the positions around them.

All of them should be FIRED. Period.

They're only sorry because they got caught!

An adult talking about giving a child a beatdown is wrong. She was serious too. I have no doubt that she would actually harm that child if given the opportunity.

"I take full responsibility" as long as there are no consequences.

As a Mexican American I’m disappointed in these people who are using their hateful words to express themselves in such a negative manner towards a child wanting to hurt a child what’s wrong with this woman? Shame on you Martinez. Had it been her child it would’ve been a different story Shame on her. 😢

Doesn’t she realize there are a whole list of racial slurs one could easily call her too, if so inclined? She’s not exempt from being an easy target. Or has her position made her forget who she is and who she represents? The fact she thought it was ok to say those things at all, much less in front of other council members, is unforgivable. She’s got to go.

Definitely resign or fire Nury and the other person. Change has to start with us. Change starts with action. There should be zero tolerance for this type of speech and behavior. Once they’re out of office, hopefully they will learn. Public officials should have a code of ethics and standards they must be held to.

So they got caught showing their real selves and now on apologies tour , no thank you ! When a person tells you who they are believe them !

in a moment of intense frustration.... She true colors came shinning through.

I wonder what Gavin says behind closed doors 🤔

Miserable lonely unhappy woman, happy people don’t act like that.

So nobody's talking about the part where 1:39 Herrera says "I get what we have to do.... Just massage to create districts that benefit you all." Um, you mean gerrymandering , which manipulates the boundaries of (an electoral constituency) so as to favor one party or class.

If she was really gonna hold herself accountable, she’d resign immediately!

These low lifes need to resign. Disgusting.

Well now….I guess some LA leaders aren’t quite as “Woke” as they pretend. Imagine that!

They are only sorry because they were caught.

I hold myself accountable!?👀 smh

that's how they really feel apologize resign and never give her a government position whats else does she do behind our backs disgusting

They always get caught. If this is who you are, it will get exposed at some point. I don’t accept apologies or forgive anything. It’s a new day and we’re done with that.

I always thought that she was shady never liked her had a bad feeling about her, i was right.

Remove all of them , what are they waiting for…?

I love this, let's hear the tape in its entirety.

WARNING: THE FALLOWING CONTENT USES HARSH LANGUAGE AND IS ONLY USED TO SOLVE AN ISSUE BETWEEN TO COMMUNITIES. VIEWER DIGRESSION ADVISED . . . . . . . . Im not the best with Spanish but as far as my understanding, she called the black kid “chongrito” which is slang for two Spanish slangs (chongo and negrito) compounded togather as one slang. Chongo means monkey and negrito is a harsh way of saying someone is black. She said both in one word and I didn’t even know you could compound racial slangs like that. This is why I’m against this whole “people of color” thing because behind closed doors this is how some people really see us. The black and brown community need to have a talk about the language being used behind closed doors in the home. Till then count me out of your “people of color” rhetoric until you learn respect.

WE DO NOT FORGIVE. NONE OF US!!!!

They need to resign point blank. They pissed off a lot of people on many different levels.

Thought it was illegal to record and release/leak recordings of incriminating things against elected officials???

She didn't let the situation get the best of her, she thinks less of someone else period, you should never judge someone because your equal to them.

I didn’t hear anything racist in those recordings

It’s amazing how individuals who’s parents probably migrated here and who were called worse than monkeys and treated less than stray dogs, children were fortunate enough to rise to the level of honor but as soon as the opportunity arose they showed the sort of character that was far beneath a monkey! Brilliant! Cheers mates!!

The council members are going to join the Golden State Warriors in investigating why this got leaked instead of staying indoors.

Those hateful and hurtful words are ABSOLUTELY unacceptable

Kids can be bad. Doesn't mean she can use racist slurs and attack the kid. She should be fired. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if they resign dont they get like severance money?

What racist slur did she make? Sounds like the kid lacks discipline like too many children do.

Lmfao 🤣 we are all racist. Don’t make it seem like no one hasn’t thought of something stupid

If this isn't the pot calling the Kettle black! With a last name like Martinez, should she, as a (1) latina and (2) a female really be the one to call out someone else's child? As if she doesn't know what the meaning of adversity is. This is unacceptable coming from professionals at this level of service. She should resign because she isn't sorry for what she said. She is sorry it surfaced, and it exposed what her personal, uncensored and naked thoughts were before all! Its apparent that she has forgotten where she came from. She should be imbarrased and ashamed and nothing she could say or do will justify what has already been done. We don't need narrow minded professionals with an inclination to hatred or bitterness spreading more prejudice remarks. Enough is enough! 😡

She didn’t even say nothing bad 😂

Deleon needs to go as well

Let's hear the whole audio

I didnt hear her say anything bad, just that the kid was jumping around, thats what kids do. they get restless. I see nothing wrong with her comment. Maybe the kid should nt of been at the meeting. Kids need to have play time, and burn off their energy.

The only thing I really can’t take is that it involves a child, I have a son with autism and many times ignorant people thought my child was being bad, not knowing that my kid had special needs. However the racism part, it’s everywhere, just the other day Karen Bass talked smack about a Latin organization that supports Caruso and she got away with it with an apology.

It's important they apologized. Now they have to resign and never hold public office again or work for the city!

These council members did more damages to the City of LA than ever - I'm glad to see them gone. Bring back those who will do followings: 1. clean up the street - control homeless situation. 2. empower the police to deal with crimes 3. do something about business registration and taxes so it will make some sort of sense 4. stop brining "race" into everything - no more hypocritic non-sense

Holding yourself accountable means you take action not pay WORTHLESS lip service. She should resign.

A very famous man once stated: “Fudge packers of the world unite; you’ve got nothing to lose but your sphincters”. Karl Marx, 1848.

They only are sorry when they are caught

I didnt hear anything racist. what she basically said was “if that was my kid he would not be acting like that i promise you that” lmaoo

No matter how bad and frustrate you get you need to watch your words when you open up your mouth 🤷🏽

What was the slur?? Why did you blot it out?? Anyone know??

OMG Nury!! I have a kid who bounces off walls, and that's because he has ADHD and Autism... If a teacher, psychologist or any politician told me to take him around the corner for a beat down, that would be the end of that person's career. You're talking Child Abuse here!!

RESIGN IMMEDIATELY The people are sick and tired of these horrible people that are ruining our city and way of life

She isn't sorry!

Don’t apologize we agree

Kevin “30 magazine clip” DeLeon???? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

She was hired because of her racist convictions, that’s why she’s there, she felt comfortable saying it in the presence of whoever was there. They all need to be removed. They encourage this!!! They think they are protected,which they are…

Nuri can barely speak and clearly it's best if she doesn't .She just said she would like to inflict violence on a child.

Her huge ego won't let her quit.

This is a distraction. Let's solve real problems.

I don't want ANY of them representing a city of diversity......FIRE THEM OR RESIGN. Inappropriate, as if they didn't go through some type of discrimination, the HYPOCRISY.

Why was only Nury lambasted? What about the other people who joined in on her conversation and didn't swiftly condemn her on the spot?! Now all of a sudden the "men" in Nury's conversation says they're now sorry they let it happen? SMH.

It’s crazy. As a Hispanic man I have nothing but love for my dark skinned bros and sisters as well as all human beings in the world. My circle of friends are of all color and race. We humans are the seasoning of this world. Salt pepper etc..... racism is a very strange phenomenon. There is only one race. The Human Race.

Newsflash! Politicians don't actually care for anything they talk about. Real shocker, I know. Everyone spends all this time trying to masquerade their real selves. We're all human, we bear anger and disdain towards people and other things; there's nothing wrong with letting the cameras catch a glimpse of yourself as you are, yea people will be upset, what upsets us is what makes us unique. Even worse, she apologized. Stand for your beliefs as opposed to being at the chain of social hierarchy. If she stood up and said "Yeah I said that, and here's why..." I would absolutely vote for her; as opposed to the "I'm sowwy, I'll be a good hive minded psychological zombie," that we usually get. Free speech to an absolution! 🇺🇸

at first i thought this was about racism towards a white guy and i was really confused because the news NEVER mentions racism against Caucasians but then they said it was against his son that is black and i went "ok now i get it".

Did she say the "N" word or something? I didn't hear her say anything offensive, aside from wanting to beat down a bratty kid.😅 Who doesn't wanna beat down a kid who has no act right!?✋😂

Inexcusable for a city official.

She has to step down honestly, as a Latino I’m sorry everyone we need to stay together in these tough times Peace & Love everyone!

Big deal.

She isn't sorry.

Why is nobody talking about the slurs she made against indigenous people saying they are short brown and ugly ! That’s even worse than her comment about Bonin’s son.

That woman herself is what Spanish Hispanic something like that she should know better than anyone about being racist towards people of color unbelievable. As much racism that her people go through.

She needs to be fired / re-called in the strongest sense. This would not be tolerated by black people or white people, she should not get a pass because she is latina.

Coworkers leave the mic on to expose the hypocrisy of violent officials

I remember when there use to be chicken stands on every corner and now there’s taco stands 😆

“Intense anger and frustration” lol

Recall if not fired! Disgraceful to treat a child that way.

I'm shocked. Latino racists? Say it isn't so! 🤣🐔💩

How they really feel and think

How is what she said racist? Saying that he needed to be given a beat down is NOT racist.

Black and brown unity sure is working out really well 😂😂😂

She has a mouth on her. I'm sure her father taught her well.

She is European Mexican not native.

Asians against racists...vote them out NOW!

This is just the 1 time she got caught, she definitely said more and worse many times before and will continue to do it, Racists rarely change.

I’m a Puerto Rican in New York City and sometimes when I get into altercations with White people I get so heated that I get racist about it too.

They call this racism but it’s not racism when Hispanic street vendors are attacked.

How is that racist?

Actually, the racist remarks aren't the main reason to be outraged...... the PURPOSE of this meeting was, for these four leaders of the Hispanic community, to find a way to redistrict black communities, in order to strengthen and manipulate Latino voting power in LA. That's the outrage!

What did she say in the blurry words

What did she say that was racist? I'm confused what did I miss?

Only sorry cause they were caught on recording. Racist derogatory comments aren’t ok for anyone so time to go. DeLeon should have been in prison long ago anyway.

Martinez: The kid's bouncing off the effing walls on the float, practically tipping it over. There's nothing you can do to control him, [redacted redacted]. I was like, this kid needs a beatdown, like let me take him around the corner, and then I'll bring him back. [Later] Herrera: I get what we have to do, right? Just massage to create districts that bought you all. Herrera: And the future. But we got to figure out Mark's seat too. That benefits you three. Observation: There's nothing racist about Martinez's statements. She didn't specify a race or color and the words can apply to anyone. The words may seem harsh to those raised only with time-outs as a punishment. Those who were raised with spankings and corporal punishment will just see this as normal. The media is telling viewers that the comments are racist probably to increase its ratings, unless there was more content that wasn't made available to the public, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Herrera's statements on the other hand can be seen as corrupt, a quid pro quo with some possible gerrymandering.

BLM Tomorrow: Build the wall! Build the wall!

She needs to be held accountable
