Wild West | Lost LA | Season 2, Episode 2 | KCET

[@metalgenius4110]

This series, I always go back to rewatch every Episode cuz there’s so much information I forget , gotta start taking notes 😅

[@lindawoody8501]

I went to high school in a LAUSD school in the late 1960s and early 1970s and was never taught anything about the mistreatment and vigilante killings of Chinese people in Los Angeles. Sad that this was not taught to high school students at that time.

[@marcelinocano8637]

Linda you were never taught it, because that part of history was not part of public school required curriculum. I also attended high school in the late 70s in the LAUSD. We were only taught World History, and US History. State, and local history was never taught in the LAUSD. Especially a horrible incident that happened on Calle De Los Negros (Street of the Blacks) in LAs dark history in 1871, LAUSD educators would never consider. But I believe acts of gun violence will continue happen, as long as ignorance plagues our society. I don't support fully automatic firearms sold in our country, Americans just don't need them. But there are those sick knuckleheads who're always willing to buy their new toys... such idiots. Cpl. Cano Honorably Discharged U.S. Marine Corps Veteran

Back in the day after graduating in 64 from High School in the Catholic school system and visiting China town on numerous times this would have meant nothing then . Different times

[@raymondalverez5999]

Crazy but AWESOME fact... English is not this lands first language. Sad part is the indigenous people could not even understand each other. Imagine living in Covina and not understanding West- Covina. 😕

My mother watched a public hanging back in the 1920s.

[@frankn.5439]

The presiding judge for the Chinese massacre trial was also one of the founders of UCLA. his name was judge Whitley and he released all of the men tried for this. His statue still standing in the campus of UCLA.

Different time in history… stop opening old wounds. You think your ancestors were without sin? Think again.

The fan palms with fat trunks are native and are found in deep slot canyons in the deserts of the Mojave and sonoran. Maybe not along the costal zones.

I only arrive here because I was thinking how L.A looked at the times of Red dead redemption 2

[@BlackSwan912]

Too many thoughts roiling my brain after this. We never grow up. Today's version is based on the same principles: anger fear possession self-righteousness... the list is long. And in the end, none of it matters. We live we hurt we die.

[@nonesuchone]

You got half of it, yes.

I believe people need to see the horror of history, so they won’t repeat it.

It will still be repeated . Just think MAGA

From the East here, I had no idea palm trees 🌴 were not native to Southern California 😮

[@Duquedecastro]

It is weird to think. I remember learning that as a teenager, but I’m a Californio. Another funny thing: pineapples are native to the Americas and not Hawaii/Asia Pacific!

[@raymondalverez5999]

Great project My family heritage takes me way back to the "Chumas-Tong-va " people of Southern California. If someone with a similar background please contact me. Respectfully

[@datboygaming8815]

I’m registered with the Bureau of Indian Affairs as Tongva. My name is Danielle Acosta. My grandma was 100 native to San Gabriel. We have many family members buried at the mission. We are family❤️ There are less than 2000 of us left.

[@raymondalverez5999]

@Dat boy Gaming It's a crazy World... My family avoided any U.S. Government registration for fear of death and/or Indigenous forced relocation. Ironically, my great grandparents were of "Chumas-Tong-va (Grandma Rhea's side, & Japanese, on grandpa Wasuke side". Lacking United States acknowledgement through the BIA I'm blessed to know my heritage. God/Creator bless us all...

[@beforeyourimmigrants8471]

Western violence is different from the south because it did not include slavery. There's no comparison.

[@Duquedecastro]

Not only that, legally Mexicans and Mexican Americans were white and able to vote.

[@themodernmacho]

@@Duquedecastrojust cause you were “legally” white doesnt mean you were treated as white. Go read some more history. Just like now.

[@Duquedecastro]

@@themodernmacho Of course many were treated as white. There were Mexican American governors and politicians. I know our history.

[@themodernmacho]

@@Duquedecastro yeah in the time that it was mexico. After the usa took over it was a different story. They were killed and deported.

[@Duquedecastro]

@@themodernmacho Nope. Can’t you read?? I said Mexican Americans. Look up Romualdo Pacheco, governor of California in American times. Look up the New Mexico politician Octaviano Larrazolo, a republican. There are huge amounts that did not go through anything as you say. In the old times Anglos always married Mexican women because they were wealthy and had land. Also many Mexican men had American wives. Many of the Anglos in the southwest have Mexican ancestors. Pick up some old books

[@beforeyourimmigrants8471]

Everybody always tries to compare their struggle to African Americans as if it was even remotely comparable. It's very disrespectful. Just say what you need to say. I don't get why they need to bring up African Americans at all.

[@beforeyourimmigrants8471]

Boy they go out of their way to not say the early settlers were black.

oh yea, I remember why I stopped watching this on tv.. cause RACE is brought into every single episode no matter the subject.

[@ronwaggoner6899]

Hoebag Do you live in Los Angeles? Do you realize that we are of all races and creeds here and we all live together in this space? and rather peacefully, I might add. You can’t talk about Los Angeles without bringing up race. Talking about different races is not bad it’s good

I HATE FACTS BECAUSE THEY TELL THE TRUTH! - Cold Milk

[@matthewrudolph3514]

Yes and if you’re white and becoming the majority population it is considered a negative example of racial dominance. Remember the lefts narrative now is that white peoples = bad. You are a racist if you’re white even if you don’t know it. So if you tell a lie long enough, people begin to believe it. This is the brain washing the left wing Demonrats used to take over a prosperous country. It doesn’t matter your race. You come to America for freedom and opportunity. It should not be about dividing people based on race ethnicity religion. America is an idea not about ethnicity. If race is injected, remember that there is something more sinister going on.

[@marceloaramayo3195]

@@matthewrudolph3514 What a stupid comment. Just as the comment you replied to. Human history is awash with atrocities of all sorts. White-on-white atrocities, white-on-other races atrocities, other races-on-white atrocities, other races-on-other races atrocities. You name it. Ignoring the fact that LA has become multi-ethnic is stupid. Just because LA history happens to be stained with white-on-other races violence doesn't mean the show is trying to portray whites as evil. Every society on the planet has skeletons in the closet. Deal with it

I grew up watching KCET This series is awful! Whoever produced/edited this series... 1/2 way through each story I want to kill myself. Gravitas does not equal morbid. Tell a good story, not just solemn bullshit... Thanks for producing California's Rust.

[@jamescoulter3736]

Why does the narration continuously use the term Chinamen? The Asian American historian doesn't use the term, he used the term Chinese Men to refer to the victims of that racist society they faced. If there is a story about African Americans in a different period, your narrators would NOT continuously refer to black people as the N words. Do not use derogatory terms today KCET even if you think its safe, its not.

[@JK-lp6uw]

You are making it daragatory, it's your mind set.. keeping that hate front & center!! Way to go!! GFY.

[@Duquedecastro]

8:28 You should use “Anglo” and not white. Many of the Californios/Mexicans in the “Southwest”, which was really Northern Mexico, were white too.
