Dude was a rapist. Getting canceled decades after his death is the least he deserves. Rapists deserve nothing less than a bullet.

"Huerta said both sexual encounters led to pregnancies, which she kept secret."


Cesar Chavez was in the club like:

 

[O.G.B]

So Chavez is being called out & canceled for his "alleged sexual abuse" but not for his actual vile racism?

Elaborate.

In March 2026, Huerta alleged several instances of sexual abuse by Cesar Chavez, telling The New York Times in a wide-ranging investigation that two of her children were fathered by Cesar. She said Chavez raped her in the winter of 1966 after driving her to a secluded grape field in Delano, California and assaulting her in his vehicle. She added that she did not report the rape because police were hostile to the farmworker movement and she believed no one in the union would believe her. She also stated that the farmworkers' movement was her life's work, and she worried that reporting the assault would interfere with the movement's success. She described an earlier encounter in August 1960 in which she felt pressured to have sex with him in a hotel room during a work trip in San Juan Capistrano.[90]

She said he also emotionally abused and humiliated her, including yelling insults at her during a union board meeting and calling her a “stupid bytch,” according to union meeting recordings. She said she kept the secret for decades because of the political context, gender dynamics, and fear of damaging the movement.[90]

Wait did he put that sign there and I need to see the whole sign

Idk bro that was his number two for a long time….. he might have pressured her for sex like a boss would their secretary back in those days but I don’t think he just snatched the p*ssy either. Not with the way she ride or died with that man, and she is the mother of two of his kids….

I ain’t saying he wasn’t a piece of shyt, but the headline made me think he was raping mad women.

Edit: I read the article he was raping mad women on the some Epstein/Cosby/Rkelly shyt. Holy shyt this is crazy. The labor movement and lowkey Latinos in general are losing a hero today. He was fukking a ton of women and girls.

She says their first encounter was coercion. Their second encounter was forceful rape.
