Emil Amok: This Week In Filipino American History–the Razing of a building and a late apology for failure to act and protect.
I talk about Watsonville’s recent apology for the 1930 riots that ended with the murder of a Filipino worker in 1930. Better late than never?
What exactly is the city apologizing for–the failure to act and protect Filipino Americans and the public in general? Seems like a safe apology after 90 years.
City must do more to rectify the historical racism Filipino Americans face.
And I talk about the razing of an historical building in Stockton, where the city seemed to fail to give the community a chance to save the Rizal Social Club.
This year, ninety years ago, some things never change.

Emil Amok: Georgia goes Blue, Trump should too. And some Veterans Day talk with Emil and Dan.
Georgia goes to Biden officially and now the electoral landslide is real. With a popular vote cherry on top. Almost a mirror of the Trump landslide in 2016. But Trump still denies it. Does he expect a second Trump term? Or does he think he got voted president of some utility company by the way he’s gaslighting?
