The Frankish Reich Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Oh yes indeed. I've read enough. No more Cesar Chavez Day. No more Cesar Chavez Building (we've got one in Denver). No more Cesar Chavez Blvd. Let's see how many of those who want to keep Confederate statues in place will agree with me on this one.
ScotSHO Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Since we seem to memorialize only the bad humans, I say the bigger the faux pas the bigger the memorial. Who you got? I'm going with the Chairman Meow - Mao Zedong. His intentional famine killed 37M in a 4 year period. His branding was also on point - "the great leap forward". Unprecedented numbers.

Vlad the Impaler. It takes I think 8-12 hours to die from impaling and he did it to thousands. He impaled 23,000 men in one day. Held his cup under the hanging body and drank the blood.

Bonus points for the suffering.

Let’s see how many of those who want to banish Confederate statues want to cancel Chavez. So far none of those people have chimed in. I’m sure they’ll be along shortly.

The Frankish Reich Posted March 19 Author Posted March 19 1 minute ago, B-Man said: This is true. He hated illegal immigrants, thinking (quite correctly) that growers were importing them to bust union workers. He's always been a bad symbolic figure for the Hispanic rights movement. Maybe we should stop personalizing these things and make them more about the larger social movement/change rather than a very fallible man or woman. 1

The Frankish Reich Posted March 19 Author Posted March 19 Dolores Huerta, the most important female figure in the migrant worker union movement, is actually one of his accusers (and former protectors I guess). Not to go all Susan Collins here, but I actually met her a long time ago. She was one of the plaintiffs in a civil rights lawsuit I worked on as a law student. Nice lady, but for the shielding of Chavez a much better person to name things after ...
B-Man Posted March 19 Posted March 19 The raping has been long overlooked, BUT THIS. . . . . . . . THIS cannot be tolerated. Why Cesar Chavez Suddenly Became Politically Inconvenient to the Left. You see, this year is the 99th anniversary of Chavez’s birth (he died in 1993), and celebrations had been planned for this event all over the country. Next year, though… Wow. One-hundred years. That’s the biggie, and you can bet that were it not for New Media, the left planned to feast on that anniversary. There is just one inconvenient fact about the left’s secular saint… Cesar Chavez opposed illegal immigration every bit as much as Donald J. Trump. Chávez understood that illegal aliens undermined the wages of legal migrant workers and their union bargaining power. Cesar Chavez was so opposed to illegal immigration that, just like Minuteman Project of 2004, which was widely smeared in the legacy media as racist, Chavez put together his own militia to stop illegals from crossing the border. There are credible reports that violence was used as an example to others. To form his United Farmworkers Union (UFW), it was Chavez versus the growers, and for obvious reasons, the growers loved the open border. For just as obvious reasons, Chavez did not. And there you have it. That’s why it was time to take Chavez down. The left feared, and not unreasonably, that as Chavez once again entered the public consciousness through these milestone birthday celebrations that New Media would co-opt him as a powerful symbol of the truth: that illegal immigration is devastating to the working class and benefits the rich and powerful.
