encoding="UTF-8"As protesters, drummers, sign-wavers, and dancers engulfed the Los Angeles City Council in the past two days over the racist guffaws of three Democrat council members caught on tape, there's a push coming from the left to blame the whole fiasco on Latin culture. Not Democrat culture, despite the perpetrators being some of the most powerful Democrats in the state, and Democrats being the party of the Klan. Council member and former council president Nury Martinez's resignation, though, was typically Democrat, effectively hailing her "first Latina" achievements. Martinez and Co. weren't practicing Latin American politics; they were practicing Democrat politics. That's where the blame belongs, and as black and Latino voters exit the Democrat party in large numbers now, it's obvious the voters are on to it.
