Nick Berardino Still Pushing for OC Fair Board to Erect a Monument to County's Mexican Agricultural Force

What are you rambling about? Give us some stories about "Viva La Raza" racist, that is what the typical USAmerican can relate to. All of this KKK relic BS and pro-race propaganda is mind-numbing zzzzZZzzzZZ! Talk more about the flaws in your own raza, then you will speak the truth and gain the recognition you yearn for.

How about a monument depicting all the immigrants regardless of race who toiled in the fields of OC. That wouldn't be hard to do.

Is it Berardino's racist contention that only the Mexican workers should be recognized in this display?

when i went in to the fullerton museum a couple months ago and the curator dude was kind enough to give me a free tour of the place, specifically their mickey mouse display on fullerton's orange background. by the end of it, in so many words, i had called him a racist (insinuated, jokingly), a pervert (yes, i noticed the designs on the flyers, yes, i'm a genius, and no, i didn't want to "have coffee") and that he was unfit for his job (well, this one at least, but he just so happened to also be an art teacher at csuf) because i could do it way better and i'm technically unqualified (could i get an application? please and thank you!). on my way out i said i'd be in touch with his manager (she still hasn't called me back) and next time "try not to fucking bore the shit out of me with some bullshit like that again" (or something to that effect. i did use the word "fuck", though).

funny how the phrase stealing hardworking American jobs is only used in vague terms. If they really are stealing those jobs then why don't Americans apply for them? I'll tell you why, because its not a job Americans want, don't believe me then come to the Central Valley and toil in the grape fields mid summer when the temperature reaches 100+ and breaks are 'optional'. Besides, American business have placated to Mexican Migrant workers for over a century to work in the fields of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California, go Google Bracero Program and how those migrants were stolen 10% of their hard earning income by American companies

I actually called and emailed the UFW with an offer. $35/hour. Give me that, and give me a decent place to lay my head (i.e. a tent), I'd work for two months, wherever and whenever. Not surprisingly, never heard back. Not even a counteroffer.

'Here's the thing. In plenty of places around this great nation the crop picking is *still* done by a local labor force. Two weeks, a month, of good wages for teenagers wanting to buy a car, or save for college. But in California the ethnic networks of Mexicans have frozen out locals -- and not only in the miniscule number of agricultural jobs, but in fast food, landscaping, construction, prep and line cooking, etc.

That's why all those Alabama farmers are loving their gaba work force...

...and the CA farms enjoy their moja- slave force? Stick to your neck of the desert cabron!

I call bull-shit X 10 on your pathetic rhetor.

Here's the email Bill -- you're right, I only offered five weeks rather than a month.

Mitchell YoungTO:toj@ufw.org Message flaggedTuesday, September 28, 2010 8:44 AMDear UFW,What with all the commotion recently over Stephen Colbert's testimony to congress, I was wondering if its too late to take you guys up on your jobs offer -- not a desk job with the union staff, but an actual field/farm job.Here are my requirements. Pay: $35.00/hr, willing to work up to ten hours / day, 6 days a week, but expect time and a half for any overtime over 40 hours per week. Health benefits for myself,(high deductible, preferred provider will be okay) but not for any dependents. As I will be required to relocate (probably several times), I will require housing, but having served in the military, I will accept something substantially equivalent to the sort of tents our soldiers in places like Kosovo inhabit. I will guarantee you at least 5 weeks of work, I would expect at least 200 hours at the above rates. Of course I would have to have a brief period of time to arrange my affairs, but no more than a week. Do get in touch if your union has a job on a crew for me at that meet the above conditions.Best,Mitchell Young</myoung2@rocketmail.com>
