Speaker 1: dot org, slash United Dash against Dash Hate Dash Week.

40
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: And we want to share some really um horrifying but

41
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: maybe not surprising data for our listeners from La versus

42
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: Hate about incidents of of hate and the folks that

43
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: have been calling them in and reporting. And according to

44
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: statistics from l A versus Hate, fift callers calling in

45
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: to report a hate incident identify as women. And this

46
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: is important because you know, look at Thought our radio,

47
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: we are a fem centered podcast. Historically, we have talked

48
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: a lot over the years about violence against women, about

49
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: sexual violence, domestic violence, gender based violence. That all is

50
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: a huge part of the conversation when it when it

51
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: relates to hate an incidence of hate, right, there's an

52
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: intersectionality there, and what we can surmise is that women

53
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: of color and probably most particularly black women are um

54
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: according to this data, experiencing the highest amounts of hate crimes. Yeah,

55
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: I think like grounding the this conversation and like the

56
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: data and thinking about how we can use that data

57
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: to also think, like is probably not all. We know

58
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: that hate crimes get severely under reported, and that's part

59
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: of what this episode is about, is encouraging folks to

60
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: know their resources in l A County, how to report

61
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: a hate crime, and also like, how do we take

62
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: a step back before there's even a hate crime incident,

63
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: how do we talk about cross cultural coalition building unity?

64
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: And so we're going to be hearing from a group

65
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: of organizers, artists, historians about the political climate of l

66
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: A and how to continue bridging a cross cultural alliance

67
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 1: in spite of the recent happenings in l A City

68
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: like the l A City Council tape leaks. And also,

69
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, we're just coming off of an election cycle

70
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: which always rams things up, always, and something that we

71
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: are observing and noticing is a lot of celebration that

72
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: maybe is premature about this recent wave of elections. And

73
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: just because of progressive candidate was voted into office does

74
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: not mean that the work is done, does not mean

75
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: that we're in the clear, does not mean that repression

76
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: and fascism is gone. We're still dealing with the fallout

77
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: of Roe v. Wade. We just did our episode on

78
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: Purity Culture, and there are real life things happening, including

79
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: incidents of hate against people, which is why we're still

80
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: having this conversation, and we'll continue to have these conversations,

81
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: and our guests are going to touch upon how we

82
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: keep doing the work even when we feel like we

83
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: want a victory right with like electing a progressive. So

84
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: let's intro THEOS our guests, You guys are gonna hear

Speaker 1: black solidarity. But I have been involved in struggle for

101
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: fifty five pleasure years here in principally for the most

102
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: part in l A. Next, we're going to hear from

106
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: booklets called how to Report a Hate Crime in now

107
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: ten different languages. And finally we will be hearing from

108
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: author illustrator Mighty Naomi, who created a comic strip mural

109
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: to address stop a A P I hate. My name's

110
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: mar Naomi, and I am a cartoonist and also the

111
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: creator and keeper of the Cartoonists of Color, Queer Cartoonists

112
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: and Disabled cartoonist databases. So something that we were really

113
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: curious about with this particular group of artists, activists, historians

114
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: was how they are experiencing and observing the political climate

115
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: in l A. So we asked them to share what

116
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: they're noticing and what their thoughts are about the political

117
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: climate in l A right now. I mean, the potal

118
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: climate in Los Angeles is one that continues to be

119
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: rooted in deep inequality, grotesque division, racism, white supremacy. It's

120
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: nothing new today I think that it's a bit more

121
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: acute because of the lenked recordings and the corruption that

122
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: we're seeing in government that we might not be seeing.

123
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: That's happening in the banks, that's also happening in how

124
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: houses are being sold. It's also being seen in how

125
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: people are being pushed out of homes and seeing how

126
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: people are being swept down the streets. So both the

127
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: grotesque language as well as the actions that are taking

128
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: place in city hall but outside of city Hall, is

129
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: the environment that that we're in. But I also have

130
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: to say that the environment that we're in is one

131
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: of unity, struggle, unity where folks are fighting for justice

132
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: and for changes. So United to House l A is

133
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: about to pass, which is going to create hundreds of

134
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: millions of dollars to address affordable housing. Um. Every single

135
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: major fight in victory we've had in Los Angeles to

136
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: the benefit of people of color, of black, Indigenous and

137
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: other people of color has been rooted in coalitions that

138
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: have been built between black, brown, Api Indigenous folks. So

139
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: the political climate is one of unity, struggle, unity where

140
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: we're uniting against the struggle that's dividing us to improve

141
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: our community and the conditions that we live in. Of course,

142
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: with the political climate, like everyone said, it seemed unstable

143
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: even within the l A City Council members tribe. I

144
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: would say for me, when I heard um the recording,

145
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: I was very disturbed and I actually called l A

146
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: Press to say to see if I can report it

147
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: as a hate incident, because it is slander. It is

148
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: something wrong. But obviously because I wasn't there or president

149
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: at the time, I couldn't. But for me when that happened,

150
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: my friend who is part of the African American Board

151
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: for the d a's office, and I am part of

152
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 1: the API board as well, so um, for me, it

153
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: was just she called me very upset, and so all

154
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: I can do is listen and so and be sympathetic.

155
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: And I think that's the first thing, is like knowing

156
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: and listening of like their past struggles, like the stigma

157
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: that has always been around them, and and then now

158
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,599
Speaker 1: standing next to them and trying to do something about it.

159
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: So it's that solidary t building begins with me for

160
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: myself personally, and then it begins with every other individual

161
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: with the people around them. So it's not staying staying silent.

162
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: At the end the future, the goal that we should

163
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: all progress to focus on is how can we build

164
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: and create a future for the next generation where there

165
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: won't be as much racism, where we won't feel uncomfortable

166
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: because the color of our skin that we were born with.

167
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: How can we create that? And so to keep on

168
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: focusing on that, I think should be the biggest aim.

169
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: And so that helps us keep focus and not falter.

170
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: So touching on our the earlier part of our conversation

171
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: where we're talking about, you know, voting progressive candidates in

172
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: and really that's just the start of the conversation, and

173
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: Alberto has a lot to share about voting not being

174
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: the only thing that we can do, and that's not

175
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: the end all be all, So we're going to hear

176
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: from him. Specific engagement is a muscle that we have

177
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: to exercise three hundred and sixty five days out of

178
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: the year, not just one day out of the year

179
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: when it's election day. In fact, the power that that's

180
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: felt is after election day, not an election day. One

181
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: of the biggest we make is to sit back and

182
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: let elected officials make decisions without us, when we know

183
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: that ultimately our voices are what matters the most. So

184
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: we have to be engaged and involved. And I'm incredibly

185
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: interested as a Latino who's fighting for progressive change, is

186
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: working to advance racial justice, to continue to interrogate and

187
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: look at Latinos and how we vote and what our

188
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: voting patterns are and what our values are. I don't

189
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: never I never forget that Latinos voted for Bush at

190
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: a higher rate George bush Uh Jr. Um, that there

191
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: was a lot of support from Latinos for Reagan, that

192
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: there were support for Trump, and that there continues to

193
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: support from Latinos in Georgia or even locally for Republicans.

194
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: And so my goal is for the Latino vote to

195
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: be much more aligned with Jewish and Black voters, where

196
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: they are aligned on very progressive values. So what will

197
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: it take as a Latino community for us to build

198
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: a sense of voting behavior that's rooted in justice and

199
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: liberation and not in the kinds of policies that basically

200
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: instigated and sustained inequality. And Um, that's that's really hard work.

201
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: But that can't we can't wait on all action day

202
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: for that work to happen. Look, I think first and

203
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: foremost it's an acknowledgement and open acknowledgement anti black racism,

204
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: anti indigeneity exists in our community. I think we have

205
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: to openly acknowledge it. It's it's important to openly acknowledge

206
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: in order to have the conversation to root it out.

207
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: We also have been talking a lot on Look. I

208
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: thought our radio about solidarity, intercultural, cross cultural ally ship

209
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: and what our responsibilities are as non black people of

210
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: color in these freedom struggles and in the aftermath of

211
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: the leaked FED tapes. So we asked our guests m

212
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: from each of their perspectives, what cross cultural solidarity means

213
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: to each of them. That can take place from our

214
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: dinner table to city hall. Uh, it's hard to even

215
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: arrive there if we can't admit that it first exists.

216
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: So I think that's the first thing that we have

217
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: to do, and we do the education, we have the conversation,

218
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: and I think the other thing that has to absolutely

219
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: happen after committing ourselves to understanding and accepting and unlearning

220
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: some of these practices, is to actually be in proximity

221
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: with those who we've been pushing ourselves away from, whether

222
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: it's black folks, indigenous folks, API folks, queer folks, we

223
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: have to be in proximity, because so long as we're

224
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: not in proximity with the very people that we are

225
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: creating enemies out of that we are dehumanizing and our

226
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: thinking and in our practices, we won't ever move forward.

227
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: Not proximity is not just about being relationship and sharing food.

228
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: It's actually about being in relationship to other people's, understanding

229
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: their history, being a part of their life, and then

230
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: ultimately the largest active unity. And I'm gonna continue to

231
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: say unity, not because because I feel like a lot

232
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: of people don't know what solidarity is, but everybody knows

233
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: what unity is, which is to be united. Right, the

234
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: ultimate active unity is to have shared struggles, shared goals,

235
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: and to fight for the things that ultimately matter, to

236
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: make improvement for our kids and our families. And I

237
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: think that's going to be the ultimate act of unity.

238
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: But if we build unity without understanding history, without acknowledging

239
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: the oppressive values that we take on, we basically end

240
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: up as Latinos taking on the image of the oppressor.

241
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: And we do not want to take on the image

242
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: of the oppressor. We want to be liberators. And we

243
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: can't allow the demography of our size in California be

244
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: the reason for what we drive change. Uh, it's never

245
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: been about the numbers. You can as black folks that

246
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: been less than twent of the population forever but have

247
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: brought about change for our country. So it's got to

248
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: be about the values that we believe in, the proximity

249
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: that we believe in, the liberation that we want to be,

250
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: and not act as in the image of our of

251
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: all oppressors. I feel like one thing and um Ron

252
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: kind of briefly set on this is to recognize our

253
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: own racism and especially our internal internalized racism is so important.

254
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: Before we can accept other people, we have to accept ourselves. Um.

255
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: And that's just think about um and also to to

256
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: share our story. I mean, I hate saying humanize ourselves

257
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: because we are humanizing we are human and humanizing other

258
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: people they are human. We're all human. But it's true,

259
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: like sometimes you just have to show people that to

260
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: make people remember that we are all human and we

261
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: are all in this together. Um. It's it's it's really

262
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: hard to and I don't think in any of our

263
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: lifetimes we're going to eliminate racism, but it's you know,

264
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: we just have to try our best So something that

265
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: Ron touched on that I really loved was about the

266
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: intentional miseducation of our people and purposely keeping our histories

267
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: from us. And so he breaks down some historical facts

268
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: that all people should know and that he is dedicated

269
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: to sharing. We need to know that history. We need

270
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: to know. For example, most mexicannels in this country and

271
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: in Mexico do not know that during the Mexico Struggle

272
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: for independence, that the principal military leaders were had African roots.

273
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: Jose Morelos as well as Vicente Ramon Guerrero were African.

274
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: They had African roots. They were dark, and you look

275
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: at the rare paintings, the rare descriptions of them, pictures

276
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: of them, you see that they were dark men. The

277
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: Mexican army fighting against the Spanish to liberate Mexico from

278
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: Spanish control and colonialism fought under a black flag. They

279
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: used to refer to its used to be referred to

280
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: by the Spanish fighters if Airito Moreno or the dark Bomby,

281
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: because the complexion of so many of the Mexican fighters

282
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: was very dark. Mexico when it launched the struggle in

283
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: eighteen ten, not only decreed that they were fighting for

284
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 1: independence from Spain. But that they say it that they

285
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: the fight was going to be a fight to outlaw slavery,

286
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: to eliminate slavery. So many black people ran into the

287
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: Mexican lines to fight the Spanish. You need to know that, uh.

288
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: And you know we we we live in a country

289
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: that's very white oriented. Of course, it's it's white dominated,

290
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: and we celebrate all kinds of things. Uh. If you

291
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: go into a school in South the l A today

292
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: and asked the young people what's the significance of February

293
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: four teens, most of them are gonna tell you it's

294
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. If the next question is if your Italian

295
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: raise your hand, No hands in these classrooms go up,

296
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: because these students are black and brown and they're they're

297
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: not Italians. And so. But it was February fourteenth, eighteen

298
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: thirty one when Vicenter Ramon Guerrero, who was the consummator

299
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: of independence, the one who led Mexico uh ultimately to

300
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: freedom from Spain. That was the day he was executed

301
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: by his enemies in Mexico. And because he was both

302
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: black and Mexican, he was an Afro Mexican, he was

303
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: someone who grew up as a mule driver. He didn't.

304
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: He didn't he never benefited from education in a school.

305
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: He sought to create schools throughout Mexico so that all

306
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: of Mexico's people could become literate. We should remember him

307
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: and celebrate him on that day, the day that he

308
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: was executed, rather than be involved in some some Italian nonsense.

309
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: But this is the kind of This is what miseducation

310
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: has brought about for our communities. We should also note

311
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: that during the eighteen hundreds, thousands of black people who

312
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: were enslaved in this country ran away from slavery, from

313
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: their owners, from the plantations, and many of them traveled.

314
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: They went south. The underground railroad was not just a

315
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: movement of and enslaved people to the north, but also

316
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: there was there was south to south connections. And when

317
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: we ran into Mexico, Mexican people took us in, they

318
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: embraced us, they fed us, they defended us. And that

319
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: happened by the if the estimates are that by eighteen fifty,

320
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: the estimates are somewhere between five and ten thousand black

321
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: people had runaway to freedom in Mexico with the aid

322
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: of they handle's the Texas, Mexicans and so on. So

323
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: this is his port. We need to know. This is

324
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: his port. We need to know for all of our

325
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: listeners at home, we know that this is a lot

326
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: of information. It seems like a very big, uphill battle.

327
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: It seems like when there's a win, there's also setbacks.

328
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: And we wanted to also get some words of inspiration

329
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: from our guests, who, like we mentioned, have been doing

330
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: this work for a very long time and continue to

331
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: do this work. So we posted a question to them

332
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: about a hope and if they could share some words

333
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: of hope. I don't know, just like forward looking advice

334
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: for all of our listeners at home who want to

335
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: be involved and stay involved. I mean, for me, it

336
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: was just I was terrifying, as I said, to leave

337
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: the house and to do anything. But once you start,

338
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: and you know, start putting yourself out there and you know,

339
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: do the little take the little steps, then you can

340
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: see that it's possible to take bigger steps. You know.

341
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: It might start with just tweeting in solidarity or you know,

342
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: whatever social media platform that is being used at it,

343
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: like putting a post on Facebook saying I stand with

344
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: these people. That's a really good start, but also reaching

345
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: out to people who you know are going through a

346
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: hard time and asking how you can help them. I

347
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: feel like just being there for people is huge, whether

348
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: that's on a personal basis or a broader outreach sort

349
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: of situation. Like there's there's a million things you could do,

350
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: but just just taking the first step of not being

351
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: par allizing fears is that's the biggest step. This generation

352
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: should look forward to creating an organization that is highly disciplined,

353
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: UH and that is very careful and how it analyzes

354
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: things and looks at actually taking power away from those

355
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: who have the power. The people in this country that

356
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: have had the power simply UH have these elections and

357
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: as I say, we vote for tweetle, the over tweeted

358
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: dumb and we don't get substantive change change in our interests,

359
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: which means the system itself has to be completely changed,

360
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: has to be done away with, and new people have

361
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: to come to the forefront, who who are who are

362
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: representing our interests and take this country in a totally

363
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: different direction. I know that's a conversation that many are

364
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: hesitant to have, but organization is central to all of this.

365
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: I think you can just look at the work that's

366
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: being done here in l A with l A County

367
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: with um el A versus Hate and the work that

368
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: we've been doing the last few years. So we we

369
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: saw a huge rise and and and bigoted rhetoric and

370
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: bigoted acts and acts of hate and hate crimes the

371
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: last few years, and so we were all coming together,

372
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: various communities, different organizations that have all been doing this

373
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: work for a long time, many of us. But the

374
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: fact that we can all come together and and cooperate

375
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: and and sort of coalesce around similar messaging, I think

376
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: to me is very impactful. And I think we need

377
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: to look at that, and you know, it may feel

378
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: like some days that the meat the needles not moving

379
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: very far, but I think we're we are making progress,

380
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: and we're we're expanding that work. We're going to be

381
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: starting to do that work at the state level in

382
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: California UM offering ways for people all over the state

383
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: to report hate crime and hate incidents UM to UH

384
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: to California versus Hate Right UM that we're working on

385
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: that now, so you know they're there. There are people

386
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: that understandable and understandably are uncomfortable with reporting things that

387
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: happen to them, hateful incidents, hate crimes to law enforcement.

388
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: So we have we understand that we know these things

389
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: are vastly underreported, so we are creating ways too for

390
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: people to to get assistance and to report these things

391
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: so we have a better handle on what is happening.

392
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: People who don't have hope meaning that maybe they feel

393
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: discouraged or put themselves in isolation because they're afraid to

394
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: step out into society because of racist rhetoric that they've

395
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: experienced themselves. Um that leads to them not trusting law

396
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: enforcement or community. I'd say for them that to not

397
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: be afraid that there are resources here o't to help you,

398
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: especially la versus hate and two on one l A.

399
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,719
Speaker 1: They have resources to help you and you're not alone

400
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: in this fight. Second to the people who want to

401
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: take action, yes, still coalition, but remember also starts with

402
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: you and it's building your own community. So check in

403
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: on your neighbors, check in on your coworker, see what

404
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: they're doing and if there are any struggles that they

405
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: just need someone to lean on for a little bit.

406
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: And it's just listening as the first step, and then

407
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: you'll get to know what you can do to help them,

408
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: like better their livelihood. In the same spirit of our

409
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: media pop culture, we did ask our panelists about the

410
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: recent wave of anti Semitic rhetoric in media, the biggest

411
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: example being yea Kanye formerly known as Kanye West, who's

412
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: a sort of anti Semitic. Grants have been widely and

413
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: heavily platformed over the course of the past couple of months,

414
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: and we wanted to hear um observations from our panelists

415
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: on the role of media and pop culture in spreading

416
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: or participating in hate And here's what Matt had to share.

417
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we have certainly seen i think unfortunately a

418
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: normalization of hate speech, of extreme speech in the last

419
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: few years that we hadn't seen for a long time.

420
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: It's sort of it. It has always been there. It

421
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: has never gone away, but it's sort of receded a

422
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: little bit, um, you know, prior to let's say, but

423
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: it's always been there. I mean, you think back even

424
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: a two thousand and eight with the election of Obama. Um,

425
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: you know that that all of a sudden we saw

426
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: a lot more you know, the main platforms for white

427
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: supremacists online went down because there was so much traffic

428
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: immediately after that when that happened. So we we have

429
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: seen a normalization of that. I think UM, the Internet

430
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: and social media plays a large role in that. Um,

431
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: the anonymity of it, the ability to disseminate extreme speech

432
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: very easily and retweet things. It's it's it's very problematic.

433
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: And and then we see a really odd interplay like

434
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: you bring up right, so who has said some horrific

435
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: anti semitic things, but then ironically enough or not really ironic,

436
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: but we but as a result, we then see white

437
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: supremacist groups, anti Semitic groups who then take a banner

438
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: and put it on the four oh five, echoing his words.

439
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: These are people that would probably have want nothing to

440
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: do with him and and and any other scenario. So,

441
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: if this conversation moved you and you want to get
