The Los Angeles City Council president who stepped down from her leadership position Monday after leaked audio showed her making openly racist remarks has a history of labeling the U.S. "racist."  "On this #Juneteenth, the world has been awoken to the fact that Black Americans still face racism, discrimination & social injustices.

We need to continue to listen, learn, & act to end racism, including institutionalized racism in government systems & laws. #BlackLivesMatter," LA Councilmember Nury Martinez tweeted on June 19, 2020.

Martinez was also among the LA City Council members who pushed to defund the Los Angeles Police Department in 2020, and tweeted about her support for the Black Lives Matter movement, accompanied by her motion to defund the police department. "We need a vision for our city that says ‘there is going to be justice.’ American society is founded on a racial hierarchy, one that is born out of slavery, followed by Jim Crow segregation and corporate abuse of labor.

As such, police departments are asked to enforce a system of laws that are designed to reinforce and maintain economic and racial inequality," the motion read.
