FOR LATINOS, A SMUT ALERT

ESTHER J. CEPEDA

CHICAGO — Here’s one thing that every Hispanic person in the United States should do this week: face up to the violent, sexist and homophobic smut that gets pumped out over the airwaves through Spanish-language television and radio shows.

If you care about the well-being of the U.S. Latino community, your time will be well-spent by going to YouTube ( http://youtu.be/VcUnxxfxuxw ) to watch a short, bilingual video recently produced by the California-based organizations La Clinica de La Raza, the Bay Area Video Coalition and ZeroDivide, an organization leveraging the digital technologies that Latinos have so lovingly embraced to benefit low-income and underserved Hispanic communities. It illustrates how the raunchy content that gets pumped into Hispanic households and workplaces through Spanish-language media harms the very communities such media claim to help.

Then email a link to your parents, sisters, brothers, friends, neighbors and anyone else you know who never gives a second thought to the garbage that makes up the soundtrack and backdrop of countless Hispanic households at breakfast and dinner, during family get-togethers, and is ubiquitous at Hispanic restaurants, bakeries and grocery stores. 

Then, discuss.

Those who don’t consume Spanish-language media because of the language barrier don’t have any idea of the shocking content that is regularly broadcast in Spanish. Many others, like myself, vowed long ago not to tune into Spanish-language media because of the highly sexual images, crude language and offensive stereotypes. 

Ignoring it, however, is not good enough anymore. For all the talking Latinos do about empowering their communities, it’s time for us to wake up to how toxic this programming is to our families. 

The first step is watching the eye-opening, 12-minute video, which was put together for the express purpose of bringing this little-addressed issue into the spotlight. It came to my attention through Twitter via the stream of ZeroDivide. 

The filmmakers expertly weave in footage from radio and TV, including shocking talk shows and perennially favorite telenovelas , and, through experts’ analysis, ask of those who ingest this stuff: “We’ve sacrificed so much to come to this country ... for a better life. Is this really better than what they left behind in their country?

The Nanny State continues its assault on America « TonyKatz.com

Over at  Pajamas Media , I wrote about a raid at a health food store, and a one year investigation that was helped along by nine different governmental agencies.  The store was raided because they “sell” unpasteurized milk to grown men and women who want to drink it.  Is the government really helping us, or just finding more ways to waste our money, and control our lives?:

In Venice, CA, a beach community in Los Angeles,  the owner of a health food market was arrested , along with two others, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney, for the, “…criminal conspiracy charges stemming from the alleged illegal production and sale of unpasteurized goat milk, goat cheese and other products.”

As the  Los Angeles Times

Agencies taking part in the ongoing investigation include the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; the California Franchise Tax Board; the California Department of Food and Agriculture’s Milk and Dairy Food Safety Branch and the department’s Division of Measurement Standards; the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office; the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health; the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department, the Ventura County Department of Public Health; the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety.

The investigation ended in the raid of the Venice market, Rawesome Foods, and a farm, Palmer’s Healthy Family Farms in Ventura County.  Prosecutors claim that Rawesome Foods did not have a license to sell unpasteurized milk, which is required by the state of California.  Rawesome Foods, however, is not open to the public.  It is a private club that requires a paid membership.  It is not known how undercover officers got into the club to purchase the dairy items, or if they paid for a membership.  This is not the first raid on Rawesome Foods.  They were raided in 2010 for the sale of unpasteurized, or “raw” milk.

What is known is that the government has gone too far in “protecting” its citizens.  Grown men and women have the right to eat whatever they want.  While you and I may not think raw goat milk is the way to enjoy our Captain Crunch, there is no reason that government should outlaw its sale.  Further, the licensing requirements are called in to question when the type of sale does not fit into its parameters (to the public versus via private membership club.) On the surface, this looks more like governmental bullying than “protecting” the unpasteurized goat-milk-drinking public (which one could assume is a very niche market.
