Making something out of absolutely nothing.
I just binged “the forgotten revolutionary” when it appeared in my feed through the Norco ‘80 podcast. I wish I could get my time back. There is absolutely nothing here. A middling college student participates in some campus cultural activities becomes awoken to larger socioeconomic and political ideas and gets his own radio show. This is not special and hardly “revolutionary” Student loses direction and focus and starts drinking too much. This is too is unfortunately not special or unique. Heavily intoxicated student falls accidentally where dozens of heavily intoxicated college students have fallen for decades. This too is sadly not unique or special and certainly not revolutionary. Tying these events to some larger cultural movement is a stretch at best. This is a sad tale but there is absolutely zero compelling evidence to suggest this was a murder and the way the sheriff is communicating may be distasteful and worthy of discussion it isn’t racist and to suggest otherwise is irresponsible in this case and makes it seem like the podcaster is just trying to say gotcha after creating a no win situation for the sheriff’s department. I have empathy for this family but they need a therapist not a podcaster. What was the point of this exercise? Who benefitted from dredging up what are nothing but old rumors and family’s grieving denial. I’d suggest that if the podcaster wants to do a podcast about Chicano culture or his own Origen story then he should do so.

Excellent reporting about important snapshots of culture and history in Southern CA. Both Season 1 and 2 were informative. I look forward to more episodes.

I think this discussion does promote some awareness but completely misses the mark in having Afrolatinos included in the discussion of anti Blackness in the Latino community. We DO exist. We ARE in Los Angeles and Latinos are NOT a monolith. This podcast fails to educated on the comments that...Read full review »
