Dios Es Mi Fortaleza.

Por Andrea Micolta Andrea: Lo llevé rápido a mi carro, para ir al hospital. De camino Miguel no hablaba nada, iba enmudecido, solo caían lágrimas en sus piernas como gotas de agua cristalina, finalmente llegamos a la emergencia donde rápidamente lo recibieron llevándolo en una camilla, solo veía sus pupilas tan dilatadas y la palidez de su rostro. Cada vez lo veía más lejos, hasta que se cerró…

Favorite episodes from my favorite podcast - Part 2 📻

This is part 2 of my favorite episodes from "Radio Ambulante", my favorite podcast in 2023. Enjoy!

Wara. Not all the episodes of Radio Ambulante are tragic, there are some that can make you smile (and even laugh). That was one. The story of an unemployed man in Bolivia who created a female avatar in a video game and achieved great success.

No soy tu chiste. (I am not your joke). You'll like this episode if, like me, you're from Colombia and can't stand "Sabados Felices" type of humor (racist, sexist, fatphobic, homophobic…). The story of the disastrous and offensive character "soldado Micolta".

Nohemi. Another shocking Colombian story that made me cry even though I already knew it because it was on the country's media a while ago. With lies, they bring a girl from the countryside to the city to live with a wealthy family that does all kinds of atrocities to her.

Compartir no es un crimen. (Sharing is not a crime). Can you believe that sharing a scientific text online could put you in jail? This happened to a Colombian. It makes you think: What is more important? Copyright or free access to knowledge?

El extranjero. (The foreigner). This episode is bittersweet. A Haitian in a small town in Chile is welcomed and loved by the community. But just as he arrived, he left, leaving a void in those who knew him.

Cicatrices. (Scars). Thinking it is the best, a family sends a Latina girl to live with her aunt in the United States. The woman and her husband are radical Christians who despise and mistreat her.

La noche más larga (The longest night). The infamous takeover of the Palace of Justice in Bogotá in 1985 by the leftist guerrilla M-19 is a wound that Colombia has not yet been able to heal. To this day, many people are missing and their fate is unknown. Unmissable episode.

El soldado y el teniente. (The soldier and the lieutenant). A super emotional episode framed in the context of the war for the Falklands. Two men who could not have been friends due to their different ranks, become friends in the midst of adversity. Years later, they reunite.

Los Pibes. (The guys). Another story from Argentina, very moving. A night that seemed to be fantastic for a rock band and its fans ended in tragedy. One of the worst that has occurred in the country and of that type in the world.

13 lunas (13 moons). This 2-part episode makes it to my top 5. One of the things I have on my bucket list is to try Ayahuasca, but I might be a bit hesitant after this episode. The story of a shaman in Colombia who looks more like the megalomaniac leader of a cult.

I'll be posting part 3 soon.

How Blackface "Humor" Thrives in the Americas

While blackface is majorly condemned here, Americans are blind to its persisting legacy. In class, we learned about examples of anti-blackness and minstrelsy that are majorly supported. A prominent example is Soldado Micolta, a beloved TV character in Colombia.

Soldado Micolta is an Afro-Latino soldier character played by a white man in blackface. Yikes. (image credits)

Afrolatinx protesters went to Bogota, Colombia in 2015 to protest Soldado Micolta, demanding the character to be taken off air. When this happened, however, Colombians responded by claiming that Soldado Micolta represented the country’s “diverse cultural and racial expressions of humor” (Meraji & Demby, 2018). 

Using humor to excuse racism is nothing new in Latin American society. There has been a recent study analyzing cases of racial discrimination brought to the Justice Tribunal of the State of Sao Paulo in Brazil. From 2012 to 2016, judges have often dismissed these cases because the question of criminal intent is analyzed through “the lens of racialized social teasing and jokes” (Hernández, 2019, p. 351). Racial discrimination, despite how hurtful it can be, continues to be ingrained in the culture because of how people continue to be flippant about it.

You would probably be asking, “What does this have to do with me? Sure, this sucks, but Black people in the US have it so much better now.” It would be silly to not recognize the changes that society has made to make the world a better place. However, we should not ignore the United States’s history of white supremacy and anti-blackness. Distinct non-white ethnic groups in the United States are continued to be seen as foreign, but often times, they would show support towards conservatism and racist ideologies. This can be explained with the idea of “multiracial whiteness.” Multiracial whiteness is an ideology that reflects the understanding of whiteness as more than a skin color. Whiteness guarantees a political identity and culture that represents dominance over others (Flores, 2021). Afrodescendants of today who are successful in a White-powered society like the United States’s look this way because of adaptation. While Americans have become more accepting of Afrodescendants, African-Americans have also adapted to white standards of life.

In fact, Latinx Americans, including all skin tones, participate in anti-Black violence. There has been a "disturbing trend" of more Latinxs joining white supremacist hate groups like League of the South and the Proud Boys (Hernandez, 2022, p. 103). There have also been isolated incidents where Latinx Americans have assaulted Black folks. In 2012, Peruvian American George Zimmerman murdered Black teen Trayvon Martin for walking in his neighborhood, but it was argued that he was not racist because of his Latino heritage (Hernandez, 2022, p. 102). Minorities in the US are just as capable as white people of being racist towards African-Americans, and we often ignore this fact.

“The problem today is that people are laughing at the wrong things,” my theatre and film professor, Allan Havis, tells me when describing blackface in film. There have been many examples in movies of blackface being used in satire, such as Tropic Thunder (2008) and Bamboozled (2000). While they have both received mixed opinions because of their controversial themes, there has always been an existing minority that finds these movies funny not because of the satire, but because of blackface itself. 

Reparations toward African Americans have always been the subject of a complicated debate, but I believe that they are necessary given the long-lasting stain of blackface from the past to the present.
