The "Tan Klan"

Rove tells Latino leaders US facing critical moment
Karl Rove, U.S. President George W. Bush's senior political advisor, on Tuesday took the administration's message on immigration reform to Latino leaders, saying the country was approaching a "critical moment" in the debate.

Speaking at the annual convention of leading Latino civic group the National Council of La Raza, Rove said Bush would work with Republicans and Democrats in coming weeks to push through reform legislation that has bitterly divided Congress, the Republican Party and the nation.

For my feelings on this see my post about this from last Friday.

Worth repeating:

Click here to view a video of other NCLR conferences where Bush says, in Spanish, that he is going to "build bridges, not walls." Bush senior says "keep up the good work for La Raza" which means to keep up the good work for the race. Of course, they are joined by John Kerry, Bill Clinton and Al Gore.

America without Mexicans illegals would be like pizza without the broken glass.

el razonador,

of course it is not a racist organization. Only white males are capable of racism.

If this is a non-government funded organization they have the right to spend their money any way they so desire.

El Razon-as far a La Raza being a privately funded organization-
From HumanEvents.online

Exclusive: The Truth About 'La Raza'
But the National Council of La Raza succeeded in raking in over $15.2 million in federal grants last year alone, of which $7.9 million was in U.S. Department of Education grants for Charter Schools, and undisclosed amounts were for get-out-the-vote efforts supporting La Raza political positions.
The Council of La Raza succeeded in having itself added to congressional hearings by Republican House and Senate leaders. And an anonymous senator even gave the Council of La Raza an extra $4 million in earmarked taxpayer money, supposedly for "housing reform," while La Raza continues to lobby the Senate for virtual open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens.
Hmmmm.

As far as them not being racist you're known by the company you keep.
The National Council of La Raza and its allies in public office make no repudiation of the radical MEChA and its positions. In fact, as recently as 2003, La Raza was actively funding MEChA, according to federal tax records.
As Miguel Perez of Cal State-Northridge's MEChA chapter has been quoted as saying: "The ultimate ideology is the liberation of Aztlan. Communism would be closest [to it]. Once Aztlan is established, ethnic cleansing would commence: Non-Chicanos would have to be expelled -- opposition groups would be quashed because you have to keep power."
Double Hmmmmm.

O k – This has got to be the easiest argument to counter ever posted on a blog:

Question – why is it reasonable to call La Raza racist while not calling the United Negro College Fund et. al. racist.

The answer is – when the company one keeps is openly racist, are they called to task by their peers?

When LaRaza holds a demonstration, there are plenty of racist banners held up, not at one protest but at many. We have seen pictures of this on this very blog. While it might be unfair to judge by the company one keeps, it certainly implies much if that company is continually received with open arms.

To counter a previous writers argument:

It would be illogical to judge the American military by a few bad soldiers. The American military seems to make a reasonable effort to bring them to justice. LaRaza makes no effort to weed out racist members, discourage racist banners at its events or affiliate with clearly racist groups like MeCHA.

That is the difference, and that is why La Raza could reasonably be judged a racist organization.

It doesn't matter if other organizations do the same thing that "La Reza" does, it's still racist. The other organizations are racist too. Anything that promotes exclusive opportunities to a certain race, or superiority of a certain race, regardless of which race it is his racist.

Why can't we just be legal citizens that just happen to be black, or just happen to be white, or just happen to be Hispanic, or just happen to be Asian, or whatever other races are out there? As long as you're an American and you love this country don't care what color your skin is. Oh yeah, and you don't ask for special privileges because your ancestors were oppressed.

Oh yeah, Mr. el razonador, where did you get that quote from Samuel Austin? I've been searching for the primary document for ever. It's amazing how different the actual document is when you read it in context. It's totally different than what my history book says.
