Another day, another case of racism in the United States. This time we go to Texas where a La Marque City Council member is being called on to resign from her seat for making racially charged comments.

Connie Trube is a two-term La Marque City Council member that has now been censured by the city council while an investigation is completed. Trube was recorded on audio while having a conversation between her and the husband of a political opponent in which she blames ?those blacks? for the troubles the school district is suffering.

KPRC-TV:

?On the recording, Trube is heard expressing her thoughts regarding the troubled financial and academic state of La Marque Independent School District.?

Connie Trube is heard commenting:

?It’s not going to get any better until you get those blacks off the school board. She really turned black. She got on the school board with the rest of the blacks and they all just ganged up and that’s why the school system has gone to hell.?

Even better, Ms. Trube stands by her comments and is unabashed. No ?sincere? apologies coming from this woman.

?What is on the tape is nothing more than me stating my honest opinion and I don’t back down from that. I never denied what was on the tape.?

Citizens met on Monday to voice their opinions and feelings about Ms. Trude’s comments. Most agree that she should step down.

Valerie Beverly:

?It’s our obligation as citizens to speak out against racism and not allow that to take over our community.?

Geraldine Sam:

?If you’re heard on tape making disparaging remarks, I’m just saying, it’s time that you resign.?

The investigation is expected to be complete by June 30. Tax dollars are being used to pay for the investigation, and some citizens have expressed their unhappiness over this fact.

What’s so different about this is Ms. Trube’s absolute and unwavering standing behind what she said. There are no apologies that we have to question the sincerity of. She said it. She admits to saying it, and she truly believes that ?the blacks? are what is wrong with the La Marque Independent School District. I’m pretty sure every decent human being can agree that it is time for Ms. Trube to step down. Hopefully, she’ll take whatever ounce of dignity she has left and do so quietly.
