Chanell Temple, a black woman originally from Huntington Park, delivered a strident, politically incorrect speech against illegal immigration on Monday evening at the local city council meeting.<\/p>\n
Temple, who now lives in the Hawthorne area of Los Angeles, was protesting the council\u2019s recent decision to appoint two illegal aliens to city commissions. She told Breitbart News she had not intended to speak at the meeting, but was offended when someone compared illegal aliens to slaves. She added that she supports Donald Trump \u201ca hundred percent.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Huntington Park City Council is being paid with taxpayers\u2019 money to do a job within rules and regulations. According to your board behind you, it says, \u201cWhere there is no vision, the people perish.\u201d I want to paraphrase that and say: Where there is no law, the people perish.<\/p>\n
In the U.S. we have one rule of law. I also want to talk about the Fourteenth Amendment, which was added to the Constitution in regards to blacks being given birthright citizenship because blacks helped build this country, including the White House\u2014twice.<\/p>\n
(Interjection: Right on!)<\/p>\n
Please do not tarnish the name of black slaves by comparing them to your plight. There\u2019s no comparison. None.<\/p>\n
Black slaves did not break into this country, okay. They were brought here against their will. Also, black slaves are not immigrants. Immigrants are people with a choice, they come here by choice. Black slaves didn\u2019t have choice.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s offensive to me because I\u2019m a descendant of a black slave. And trust me, Ancestry.com works and I can trace my people back from when they landed here on the boat. I know the village where my people came from in Africa, OK? So please, do not try to get away with using that. That\u2019s very offensive.<\/p>\n
This country has been good to illegal immigrants. You have been given jobs, houses, tax money, free tax money, welfare, Social Security, they open up business for you guys, et cetera.<\/p>\n
None\u2014I don\u2019t know of any illegal aliens who have been hung from a tree. I don\u2019t know of any of them illegal aliens who have dogs been sicced on. So that\u2019s very offensive for you to sit up here and allow these people to say that and get away with it. Things that people are going to feel sorry for. That\u2019s very offensive, OK? Do the right thing.<\/p>\n
My people get three strikes. I have a nephew in jail now\u201322 years!\u2013for something he didn\u2019t do.<\/p>\n
My people commit a crime, they go to jail. You people commit a crime, they get amnesty. It is wrong\u2026<\/p>\n
(Cheers, applause)<\/p>\n
And we\u2019re not going to have it. We\u2019re not going to have a set of laws for you people and a set of laws for us.<\/p>\n
And if you can\u2019t follow the law, talking about \u201cperish,\u201d your job needs to perish.<\/p>\n
You get paid with taxpayers\u2019 money and you are misappropriating taxpayers\u2019 money when you pick up your check.<\/p>\n
(Cheers, applause)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In an interview Tuesday morning, Temple explained further:<\/p>\n
I grew up in the Huntington Park area. I was raised in that area. I live in Hawthorne now. That area over there has been a Latino area for decades, for a long time. They witnessed racial tension in that area. My mother was a property owner over in that area.<\/p>\n
What I said last night was not my intention. What kind of disturbed me is when someone got up and talked about slavery. There is no comparison. They need to stop pretending like they are being mistreated. They have pushed and disturbed the community. They have 95% of the jobs and they still act like they are mistreated.<\/p>\n
Yes I am black, but I\u2019m an American. They are getting away with murder. I was in Sacramento recently, and I protested about Kate Steinle. Then they get a get-out-of-jail-free card, and my nephew is in jail. They release them\u201330,000, if not more\u2013every year. They put them right back on the street and it\u2019s not right.<\/p>\n
The black community\u2013we\u2019re tired of them citing civil rights because of people like Al Sharpton. They are being treated better than American citizens with our tax money.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m just tired. I lost my job. I was told I did not speak Spanish and I was terminated from my job. Even now it\u2019s difficult to get a job. They told me I was fired for not being able to speak Spanish. I applied to McDonald\u2019s and they told me that they don\u2019t hire blacks\u2013and it was a black owner. I filed with EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). I have my documentation. I was denied a job\u2026.But they didn\u2019t do anything. They are putting illegal immigrants before blacks. I applied for three jobs with the County of L.A. and they didn\u2019t give me a job, and when I filed a complaint they called me a racist. I ended up homeless.<\/p>\n
We have a rule of law. Why can\u2019t they obey the law? Little do they know they are making us [Americans] closer. We are standing as Americans, as all races and colors. They want to throw out the race card. We are tired of being abused, and it\u2019s got to stop.<\/p>\n
Our politicians are giving them the power in the fight against us\u2013the people using our tax money, writing these laws and using them against us\u2026.<\/p>\n
Yes, black lives matter, but if we had jobs we wouldn\u2019t be put in these situations to be attacked. A lot of parental rights have been restricted and are being taken away. There\u2019s a lot in the black neighborhood that needs to be worked on. We need to get our house in order first and we need to get jobs back to get back on track.<\/p>\n
We have no recourse. We are not being represented. Now we\u2019re in the shadows, we are being buried in the shadows.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
