chulo707, I agree with your text. Piolin is not the ambassador for our this issue....

[anitafichera]

I grew up in Delano, CA I was in high school when Bobby Kennedy came to talk with Cesar Chavez. They held a press conference at our High School. I attended the talk. My brother dated his oldest daughter Linda for many years. Cesar was a saviour to the farm labours....My Father was one. Thank you Cesar...

@anitafichera Reallly?

@mexxxicanlovemachine I am just curious as to why you dispise him? He fought for dignity and the rights for others. HIs leadership was inspired by our Dios and the injustice committed to all campesinos; he made people believe in the impossible and challenged all of us to serve others. What have you done for your Raza? More so what have you done for the youth around you to aspire for more. Stop criticizing and do something! ¡Viva Cesar Chavez!

In this day of era of 2011 we still need Caesar Chavez, Martin Luther King and Gandhi because I don't think we are out of the woods yet and this country is still drowning in hatred and ignorance and i'm tired of it

[mexxxicanlovemachine]

cesar chavez is shit, he never did anything for me that nigger. i am mexican immigrant and despise this cesar chavez character, he is no good

[Irishcookies2009]

Cesar chavez . Who gives a shit

[JayJay28888]

@adrianregules What's sad is that you can't even cry about people bashing your icon in english. The only problem I have with Chavez, is that he was recrutied by Saul Alinsky. If you don't know anything about Alinsky, then you should read up on him and find out why being associated with him is a bad thing. And yes Cesar Chavez is far better than the idiot in Venezuela.

FUCK CESAR COMMIE CHAVEZ. MY GRANDPA DIDN'T LOSE A LEG IN NAM, OR DIE IN KOREA JUST SO WE CAN CELEBRATE THIS FUCKING COCK

[FIRMESTREETWEAR]

WHERE CAN I BUY ALL HIS SPEECHES?

[ChicoBallers]

@tekloid The only reason he hated immigrants because the workers were willing to work for less money which would not help the strike for mexican american workers. If the field workers boycotted and new immigrants were brought in every day it defeated the strike. Chavez did not hate immigrants just the fact that them coming only hurt the strike and his stragety to gain leverage from the plantation owners. Im from Salinas and Watsonville two major UFW farm towns so I know what the FUCK im typing.

[kerrigankohls]

I fully suport the UFW, and the hardworking MEN and WOMEN who help put food on the tables however I fail to follow the locic in which keeping the borders open helps these workers? Wouldn't limiting laborers drive up the pay for these hard working MEN and WOMEN? Keeping the borders open hurts these workers. I would pay more for produce IF it went to them, It's simple supply and demand. Limit the supply of workers and PAY them! am I missing something? Take our jobs is a bad idea. respectfully

[tekloid]

Cesar Chavez hated illegal immigrants. FACT.

[adrianregules]

me da tristesa de escuchar que hay gangas en california que usan un symbolo tan puro para promover su estupides. "viva la causa". and if you dont know who is CESAR ESTRADA CHAVEZ then dont write shiiit. no lo confundan con el payaso de venezuela..

[adrianregules]

Cesar E. Chavez no es un communita. el como otros personages de la historia lucharon para que el pueblo de su nacion floresca, recuerden que eran solamente mexicanos y mexicanos americanos que trabajaban en los campos tambien habia guerros q por la depresion estubieron por debajo de la line de pobresa, phillipinos, african american. not only hispanic. adrian r regules.

[LBAntonio69er]

the video is an exiilant understanding for what Chaves did for his people
