Roman Perez Speaking About Racism, City Commissioner Cesar de Leon's Best Course of Action

From the editor:  Roman Perez, well-known for his advocacy and political candidacy in our city, has, in recent months, focused on spiritual values and his Catholic faith.  

Mr. Perez weighs in below on the recent whirlwind surrounding City Commissioner Cesar de Leon's racist remarks caught on audio tape:


Roman Perez


Bishop Daniel Flores of the Catholic Diocese of Brownsville calls us to “witness publicly that racism of any kind is inimical to Christian truth and destructive to human society.” His advice came out last month before news of Brownsville City Commissioner Cesar de León’s profane, racist comments against local black women attorneys.

Many prefer supporting those like De León who fight for good government than protesting private racist rants. They applaud his bucking the system, returning televised public comment, or questioning misspent taxpayer money.

However, one cannot disregard his indecency towards black women attorneys as locker room talk. One cannot condone using the phrase “f•••ing n•••••s.” Please find another leader for tackling corruption. He's tainted as a racist. Frankly his presence undermines the movement.

Inexcusably city commission members refuse to call for his resignation. They kick the can, protect him, and it speaks volumes. Commissioner Jessica Tetreau defends him in the Brownsville Herald as a respected, great leader. Their lackadaisical approach to this serious matter harms our reputation in the RGV, Texas and nation. They certainly do not act as a woke progressive city they desire to portray.

Remember inaction in the face of racial injustice makes one morally culpable. I call Mr. De León to resign.

    past.

  7. Great verbage, however there is no Ethics Advisory Commission to trigger any of the further actions therein specified.
