Jim Fouts (seen above at a Martin Luther King Day event on Monday), the mayor of Warren, Michigan, was reportedly heard on audio making disparaging comments about blacks and older women

The mayor of Detroit's largest suburb was heard on audio referring to black people as 'n***ers' and 'chimps' while labeling older women as 'dried up c***s.'

Jim Fouts, the mayor of Warren, Michigan, was heard making the comments on audio obtained by Motor City Muckraker.

'Blacks do look like chimpanzees,' Fouts is heard on the tapes saying.

'I was watching this black woman with her daughter and they looked like two chimps.'

In another recording, Fouts talks disparagingly about aging women.

'Think I want to date a f***ing 60-year-old hag?' Fouts said.

'F*** that s**t. I'm not interested in any old ugly hag. I think after a certain age they are dried up, washed up burned out.'

'They are p***ies when they are young, and when they get older, they're just mean, hateful dried-up c***s.'

This is not the first time that Fouts was heard making offensive remarks.

Last month, he was dismissed from his duties as host of a weekly radio show on 910AM after an audio recording of him surfaced in which he makes disparaging remarks about disabled people.

In the audio, Fouts said that disabled people 'aren't even human beings.'

Fouts denied that he made the remarks.

He accused a political rival, Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel, of 'engineering' the audio.

'Those are engineered tapes by Mark Hackel and his friends,' Fouts told WDIV on Monday.

'That is not my voice.'

'Those are engineered tapes inspired by Mark Hackel, just like the last one. It is not me. That is not me at all.'

'Just attended what should have been a joyous occasion for our 4th annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ceremony,' Fouts wrote Monday on Facebook just hours after the latest audio surfaced.

'Instead Mark Hackel and friends attempted to hijack this ceremony by releasing more vile, vitriolic, phony tapes against me.'

'This was timed so that they came out just before our noon ceremony. This distracted from my major announcement of the appointment of Greg Murray to be the new diversity coordinator.'

'This effort at negative tapes is designed to distract from my efforts of inclusion for all,' Fouts wrote.

'The media as usual bombarded me with questions all at once and allowed an agitator to shout over me! This tactic dishonors the memory of Martin Luther King a man of peace.'

Fouts touted his record appointing African Americans to key positions on city planning councils and commissions as proof that he is not racist.
