Aragon says he would be first African-American mayor
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —

Eddy Aragon says if you vote for him you would be electing the city's first African-American mayor.

"I'm simply talking about my background, my diversity. Hispanic, certainly Native American, Black,” the radio talk show host said. “We have a great history here in the city of Albuquerque, and I think I'm a good reflection of the cross-section of the populations that live here in Albuquerque.”


Aragon posted on his station's website and on his Facebook page asking people to “elect Albuquerque’s first Black mayor and make Albuquerque great again.”

When asked if he would consider himself the first African-American mayor in Albuquerque, he responded, “As part of my history? I don't know. It depends upon whether the community would consider me that.”

Aragon says he did a DNA test that determined that he is “4.6% Black and that it is double the percentage of Black people in Albuquerque.”

"That comes directly off of an ancestry test,” he said. “And in terms of, you've done that where you swabbed and sent it in, and you get it back and it tells you what percentages you are.”

He also says that there are not enough African-Americans who work for the city and if he is elected he would change that.

"Only 1.7 percent of all city employees are Black,” he said.

Good. I've been waiting for something like this. As Sgt. WP said, we're "one-drop" ruling ourselves to death. Some many ppl here ESP black men, anything mixed with black.......is black. We went from being "tar-babies" to passing for white. Crazy, hilarious and sad. I know it's deep in America society and history but this was bound to happen. This is the same what some "Afro" Latinos pulled. A little black and they think we family. It's time to close ranks. Y'all won't do it, I will.

"Aragon, a radio personality, offered to display proof of a recent DNA test showing he does have Black ancestry (4.6%). The crowd laughed at him.

He said something about how Juneteenth — the Black liberation holiday — replaced Father’s Day on a calendar he owns in a bizarre statement about absent fathers.

“I believe I have already had my Black card removed by someone in the community,” Aragon mentioned after the crowd also laughed at his absent understanding of Juneteenth.

Aragon’s response to the BLM question: “All lives matter, period. I think we need to understand as a Republican and being 4.6% Black, I want you to understand something about all of us being equal. We need to move forward in this country.”

He would go on to say several times throughout the forum that it is racist to bring race into discussions when asked about equity related to housing, policing and community safety.

To organizers of the event, the discussion needed to be introduced.

“We have to recognize that there is some historical trauma in Albuquerque, in New Mexico, nationally, that we have to address, we can’t overlook,” said Rodney Bowe, co-founder of the collaborative. “We’ve got to make sure that we have diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility in the equation.”

Bowe said he doesn’t speak for all Black people, of course, but said that he has never seen Aragon active with Albuquerque’s Black community"
