“De León and his three comrades aren’t Donald Trump, but that fateful day in the back room, they were swimming in the same waters,” writes JamilSmith in his debut essay.
Cedillo isn’t being as vocal about his refusal to leave the City Council, perhaps since he lost his bid for reelection in District 1 this past June. His term runs out before the new year. However, De León conceivably could be in office until December 2024,were he to stand firm. That isn’t including other benefits, including a pension, that may elevate that compensation.
“I have to do the hard work. I have to repair. I have to help heal. I have to help restore,” De León said during an interview on KCAL-TV Channel 9, offering zero evidence why he needs to do that “hard work” and “repair” while remaining an elected official. This is the invisible contract that De León and others have signed, as politicians. They talked about constituent concerns on that call, but the system demands an inordinate focus upon perpetual employment and possible advancement. That boiled to the surface in the ugliest of ways.
When confronting someone accused of doing or saying something racist, focus on What They Did and not What or Who They Are. It is to the perpetrator’s advantage when it becomes a What They Are conversation, because soon we’re talking about “my heart,” “my values,” “my principles.” We have to hear about all the times in their lives when they’ve been nice to Black people, and whether their body contains any racist bones.
