How stupid are people that they do this kind of thing and then say it was only out of frustration? As adults, shouldn't you better manage your frustration and other emotions?

Black racists are just as bad as white racists, especially when they have political power.

Even worse many times because they actually believe it's their right to be racists. When they obtain political power they try to put forth racist policies.

I don't know anything about this woman, so can't say she's a racist. It was an ignorant thing to say but doesn't automatically make her a racist.

But man, you have to be dumber than dumb to do something like this.

Just read the story and am totally shocked, but of course I do not always believe exactly what I read. If there is truth to this it shows how there is as much or more racism on other side.

MPowering1 you do not need to know anything about her to know she is a racist

Again, I don't think it was an act of racism. It was an act of pure ignorance.

But she admitted it, so that pretty much closes the loop on it being a one-sided news report.

Again, just like some Democrats, instead of using their brains to think first, they think with their mouths when they speak, or hands when they type a message on social media, then they regret what they say and do.

Somebody needs to remind this woman that making statements like this will get her in trouble, even if she didn't really mean it.

She's just a power mongering idiot who likes to shoot her mouth off. One of her own fellow Democratic state legislators once threatened to stab her.
I've been personally cussed out by her, with a huge emphasis on how lazy I must be, because I inconvenienced one of her wealthiest donors. He didn't care (it was a land use decision that mildly affected one of his rental properties), but she wanted to put on a show for him. I'm sure the insults about my laziness had had nothing to do with my Hispanic last name. (She's Cuban incidentally, not African-American.)

She inject herself into the Ferguson protests, with a lukewarm reception, and the Westlake protests, were she was resoundingly told to stay away and go home. This is just a continuation of that trend, and she will certainly not resign for it.

The Secret Service is reminding her. No wonder she's so remorseful...lol.

Oh, a grandstander. But power mongering idiot who likes to shoot her mouth off describes most of our politicians, in all parties.

Why would a Cuban dislike someone with an Hispanic last name?

Yeah we addressed this somewhere else -- not good. Her peers criticized her for her actions. It is unacceptable.

I think it's the lack of control by our politicians that is giving Joe Citizen permission to exhibit a lack of control out on the street.

Decorum is dead.
