Review finds racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic content in all 32 issues of weekly insert printed in @MiamiHerald's @elnuevoherald, calling Michelle Obama "black monster," Africa the "ass of the world" and George Floyd an "ugly common criminal" miamiherald.com/news/local/com…
"Black Americans should be grateful for slavery," reads one column published in @elnuevoherald every Friday, "because it brought them to this country" and "says they have 'contributed nothing to the greatness of America,' and should decamp to Ghana if they don’t like it here."
The column also labels "LeBron James, Obama and Muhammad Ali, whom he insists on referring to as Cassius Clay" as racists, writing "There is no people in the world more racist than Black Americans, who are always accusing the whole world of racism."
"MLK’s desires have been betrayed, not by whites, not by the legal system, not by 1 political party, but by blacks themselves who abuse the words of a few & yearnings of many to exploit & maintain past inequalities for the sole purpose of their personal ambitions & enrichment."
Another column inside @elnuevoherald castigated American Jews as "cowards" for supporting racial equality, compared #BlackLivesMatter to Nazis and their protests to Kristallnacht and the Holocaust. "What kind of people are these Jews? I don’t like them. I don’t like them at all."
The inserts also called Islam "filth," Native Americans "primitive," said "#BlackLivesMatter activists and supporters should be killed," wished a meteor would wipe out the "miserable population" of "the damned Chinese race," and lavishly praised Spanish dictator Francisco Franco.
"Also in every issue was a half-page column by Miami-Dade Schools Superintendent @MiamiSup Alberto Carvalho, with his photo at the top, on topics related to public education."
"Libre" is published by con man slumlord, ex-Miami Commissioner and ex-School Board member Demetrio Perez, Jr. who pleaded guilty to defrauding the federal government's Section 8 program by overcharging poor tenants in his apartment buildings #BecauseMiamilatinamericanstudies.org/exile/demetrio…
As city commissioner and self-appointed government censor, Perez Jr. wanted to ban SCARFACE from shooting in Miami unless Tony Montana was rewritten as "a Communist agent infiltrated into the United States by the Fidel Castro government" #BecauseMiamivice.com/en_us/article/…
Perez owns a chain of private for-profit indoctrination grade schools (a conflict ignored while on the public school board), where he wrote the textbook, an ideological rant on prayer, dinner table etiquette, civic morals & how Nixon, America’s greatest president, got a raw deal.
Nowhere in any of the weekly inserts did it indicate they were a "paid ad" or "advertorial." The content appeared to be an editorial extension of @elnuevoherald, including hate speech published under the byline of a former longtime El Nuevo contributor.

Payaso Patrol: Mayor Ponzi Postalita @FrancisSuarez got called out for fleeing Miami for a ritzy fundraiser in New York City while #HurricaneIan hit Florida, so now he’s hijacking rescue resources for a pathetic performative photo opp. #BecauseMiami
Last April, @CityofMiami Chief Resilience Officer quit after 11 weeks on the job; the 3rd CRO to leave since 2020. @FrancisSuarez's staff told a CRO “resilience is not a priority,” it's "too long term" with no immediate political or PR value. #BecauseMiamimiamiherald.com/news/politics-…
The @CityofMiami, climate change and sea level rise capital of the U.S., removed solar panels from city hall last July without permits required by their own codes and with no plan to replace them, claimed they haven't been working since 2017 #BecauseMiami: wlrn.org/news/2022-07-1…
#BREAKING: Nilo Cruz fled Cuba for freedom, graduated Miami-Dade Schools, became the first Hispanic to win the Pulitzer Prize in drama, and was inducted into the @MDCPS student Hall of Fame. Now they have banned students from seeing his play. #BecauseMiamimiamiherald.com/news/local/new…
"I told you, my fellow Cuban Americans, that the censors would get around to us. And they have. The day after @MDCPS Board voted to suspend recognition of LGBTQ History Month, officials quietly rejected the work of one of the most prominent Cuban Americans in US cultural life."
"@MDCPS refuses to allow high school students to attend — as they have since 2003 — Miami New Drama’s 20th-anniversary staging of @ncruzny's Pulitzer-winner ANNA IN THE TROPICS: 'My work has been staged around the world — and the only place it has been censored is in Iran.'"
Rubio hasn’t had a real job since he babysat his brother-in-law’s cocaine stash house in 1985. His sugar daddy, Miami car oligarch and former Philadelphia Eagles owner Norman Braman, financed his entire political life and even bought him a teaching job at FIU. #BecauseMiami
Florida @GovRonDeSantis recommendation for new Education Commissioner @SenMannyDiazJr is VP at state’s largest for-profit charter school company, accused of being a "pervert" and "inappropriate teacher" by former students at Hialeah Miami Lakes High School miamiherald.com/news/local/edu…
“Manny Diaz has done a great job in the Legislature on education issues ranging from teacher pay to parental rights and choice. I am confident that he will serve our state well as the Commissioner of Education." — @GovRonDeSantis, April 21, 2022 flgov.com/2022/04/21/gov…
Florida ranks lowest for education spending: @SenMannyDiazJr colluded with @ErikFresenFL (in-law of his charter school employer) to give charters more money with less accountability. Fresen went to jail for not filing a tax return during 8 years in office. miamiherald.com/news/local/edu…
This is why buildings fall in Miami: @MayorDaniella supports and @MiamiDadeBCC approves ANOTHER extension to airport contract with MCM, the bankrupt construction company — owned by @RepCarlos's wife's cousin — behind the FIU bridge collapse that killed 6 people #BecauseMiami /1
Here are the Miami-Dade Commissioners who voted yesterday in favor of the airport contract extension for collapsed FIU bridge builder MCM, disrespecting the victims and families of this tragic act of deadly negligence: District 2 Commissioner Jean Monestime #BecauseMiami /2
Commissioner “Pay 2 Play" @KeonHardemon’s former chief of staff now works for MCM! So, of course, he voted yes. And, as everyone in town knows, Keon and his political crime family will do anything and sellout anyone if the price is right. #BecauseMiami /3
Jury orders Miami-Dade School Board @MDCPS to pay $6 million to former student of ex-Palmetto High creative writing teacher Jason Edward Meyers, accused of harassing and sexually abusing a string of female students #BecauseMiami: miamiherald.com/article2547451…
“The verdict found Meyers ‘posed a substantial risk of sexual abuse or harassment to female students,’ yet the @MDCPS district was ‘deliberately indifferent’ in how it handled the accusations.” #BecauseMiami
The lawsuit claimed that the principal and administrators at Michael M. Krop High were notified in 2008 and 2011 that Meyers was having sex with underage students, but no investigation was done — instead, he was transferred to Palmetto in 2011. #BecauseMiami
