The nation’s largest Hispanic rights group is warning it may cancel its 2009 convention here because of a controversial Kansas City park board member.

The head of the National Council of La Raza said Thursday that the organization is already looking at several other cities because of the appointment of Frances Semler.

Who the heck would want a La Raza convention anyway? I hope “The Race” never changes its name. The Klan with a tan

Well Kansas City, ask yourselves, would you prostitute yourselves to gain the money from a national convention of the KKK?? If not, then why would you do so for the money from this racist band called “La Raza”????

LET'S HAVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR THE FOUNDER OF LA RAZA

Just what a city wants about now, La Raza to come to town with its rable rousers.
ARREST ALL ILLEGALS AND DEPORT THEM.
Illegals are breaking our laws.

To borrow from a fellow FReeper...”La Raza: The Klan with a tan”.
