I’m not defending Chavez in any way, just here to say that grown men diddling underage girls was completely normalized in that time period. Ask Jimmy Page and 500 other rock stars, actors etc. I myself had inappropriate relations with a much older woman as a young teen and it felt pretty socially acceptable by the standards of that time. NOT condoning it just saying it was weird times in America back then . A good time to be a child rapist and get high fives.

I'm old enough to remember those days and there's no doubt that a lot of rock stars were banging underage groupies. It was known and somewhat tolerated.

BUT...

The groupies presumably were willing participants. My sense from the story about Chavez is that the underage girls he raped were not willing participants. That is the biggest distinction IMO

Funny how many people don't realize he is the one who coined this phrase, not some racist gringo...

Yeah- well he’s a progressive icon, so of course he’d have rapey tendencies. My belabored point was just a reference to the sexual weirdness of those years.Gen Z wouldn’t believe it- the complete opposite of today. It was a gropey era.

Yes they do. Some of them are too far gone and have sold their soul, but some are just led astray and we should not concede their souls to evil.

There was a lot of promiscuity going on in that movement. Doris Huerta claims to have had children by Cesar that she gave away then married his brother and had kids with him. That means she has kids that are cousins.

It is awful that he used his charm for evil but Cesar was just a man. I like having a holiday at the end of March so I hope we get to keep it. They can call it farm workers day.

Huerta became pregnant from both encounters and later arranged for the children to be raised by other families.

"Over the years, I have been fortunate to develop a deep relationship with these children, who are now close to my other children, their siblings," her statement said. "But even then, no one knew the full truth about how they were conceived until just a few weeks ago."

The New York Times' investigation found Chavez fathered four children out of wedlock with three women and that there had been "whispers within the movement" for decades about his conduct.


Holy crap.

He coined it ? Source ?

I think that term had been around much longer than Cesar Chavez had been using it.

Wow the irony, I’ve heard about another guy in power who’s accused of abusing young girls and he also hates immigrants…

I’m going to refrain from making a judgement until I hear what Sean Penn thinks about all of this.

California should use the same process NY used to implicate Trump in E Jean Carroll’s rape allegation.

They should change the law to allow a one time only exception to the statute of limitations and let these women sue Chavez’s estate.

Him and mlk seem to be cut from the same cloth.

Side note: how old was this lady? Bad reporting not mentioning that.

Crazy...there are 2 people out there who don't know their dad is CC.

You would probably be in the minority with this view.

The UTrans Commies no longer even remotely resemble the UT Longhorns.
