Does that sound like I’ve gone off my rocker? Am I asking you to support the White Citizen’s Council, or the KKK, or some such? No. Hold your fire. You’ll be angry when you finish this column. Not at me, but at an organization which pretends to be just a community-based, self-help group.
La Raza, or the National Council of La Raza, claims to be just a self-help group. It says on its official website that the word “la raza” means “community.” It says it has “no interest” in reclaiming for Mexicans the lands from Texas to California which form the southwestern seven states of the Union. This appears on a page of its website entitled, “The Truth about NCLR.”
My mind is like flypaper in a barn, everything sticks to it. I remember when La Raza first arose, and engaged in “civil rights” litigation. Its name then was “La Raza Unida.” There’s still a website for that old form name. It’s for the Partido Nacional de La Raza Unida. That means what the title says, the National Party of the United Race.
The best way to find out what any organization stands for, or what leaders in that organization really intend, is to read what they say to their own supporters, when they don’t think outsiders are listening. For instance, when one reads the garbage that Palestinians are dumping into the minds of their school children, it’s clear that for now, Palestinians are uncivilized, murderous barbarians who cannot be trusted with a blackboard and chalk, much less with weapons, uniforms, and a nation.
Let’s review what the United Race is saying to its own people, to see where it stands.
You will notice first the symbol, a circle containing the red outline of the southwestern states of the US. What is the intention of the United Race about those states? The text makes clear that “Mexicans” in those states are “oppressed” and that the United Race can and should establish “self-determination,” and “rescue our culture.” According to the United Race, all people in those seven states who are of Mexican heritage, regardless of whether they are legal or illegal residents in the US, “own” this land and should take it over from the “other” people who currently run the local, state and federal governments there. The United Race should act in concert with “people of color and the Working-Class.” In addition to wanting the states back, they also want to bring down the US free-market economy.
This website unabashedly promotes Aztlan libre, which means freedom for the American southwest. Note this quote from its information section: “Because the governments of the U.S. and Mexico signed a paper giving the U.S. rule over the current ‘Southwest’ does not mean that the people gave up their nationality or their right to struggle for liberation.”
Just last week, President Felipe Calderon of Mexico said this in a speech, “Wherever there are Mexicans, there is Mexico.” Hasn’t anyone cracked a history book lately? World War II began with the claim of Adolf Hitler for the Sudetenland, lands belonging to other nations but having substantial German populations, who had a “right” to a German government, rather than the Polish, French, Czechoslovakian or Austrian governments they actually had at the time.
Am I suggesting that Mexico is planning an armed assault on the United States? Not in a million years. They are not that foolish. However, unlike German ambitions beyond its borders, Mexican ambitions can succeed without a shot being fired. There is already proof that the Mexican invasion is succeeding.
More and more local governments, and notably the state government in California, are making decisions as demanded by their Mexican “citizens” rather than their American citizens. How else can one explain the status of Los Angeles as a sanctuary city, at the same time that gang murders there, from largely Hispanic gangs, are at an all-time high?
How else can one explain the repeated passage by the California legislature of a bill to offer drivers licenses to illegal aliens in that state? (So far, the Governor has vetoed such bills.) This has happened despite the fact that California is experiencing the same spike of highway deaths due to illegal aliens on the highways in (often) drunk driving accidents as all other states with significant numbers of illegal aliens.
Not since 1066, when the Norman French conquered England, has a foreign population taken over the whole of an established nation and culture. Yet, exactly that is happening, without warfare and with the apparent cooperation of the US government, in the southwest today. The United Race makes no secret of its intentions when talking to its own people, rather than writing lies for public consumption.
Here are the two La Raza websites. The first one is the current, official site, which spends much of its space attacking what the late Congressman, Charlie Norwood, said about it. The second is the older, candid website, which demonstrates in spades that what the Congressman said about La Raza, and what is said here, is the plain, unvarnished truth.

Sometimes, a column gets written because I punch a few buttons on the Internet to check what I think I know, and find much more information than I anticipated. This is one of those weeks. I knew that “la raza” does not mean “community,” it means “race.” The human race is, in Spanish, “la raza humana,” for instance.
So, that deliberate mistranslation by the National Council of La Raza sent me on the search which resulted in this column.

My problem is that the current administration seems to be intent on advancing all of “the race’s” demands. We are at a tipping-point right now and this next election may well decide, or seal, the fate of our nation and culture.
You rock Congressman!
“We are at a tipping-point right now and this next election may well decide, or seal, the fate of our nation and culture.”
That’s a fact. Already a number of our towns have been lost to the invaders (for instance, the towns of Pilsen and Litle Village in the Chicago area are both Mexican dominions, with their allegiances to Mexico; hell, Mexican politicians come up there to campaign for offices they are seeking back in Mexico). Mexico is not our friend. Mexico is our sworn enemy.
Good job, Billybob.
Let's do some language translations courtesy of altavista.com's bablefish translation service. That should prove that these fine folks are just misunderstood.
First let's try English to Spanish
community = comunidad the community = la comunidad
Now let's try Spanish to English
Raza = Race La Raza = The Race
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm bablefish must be broken!!! Okay lets try one more in spanish to English!
Si se puede = Hey you stupid gringos, we're going to swamp your population with illegal aliens, have babys here, and get amnestys until there are more of us than you. Then we'll vote our people into office and take over. Once we have the numbers, you will NEVER hold an elected office again. We will control all the power and collect and distribute taxes as we see fit.
I wonder if another message the LaRaza people are giving their followers is to have as many children as possible. Hispanics are now surpassing every other ethnic group in teenage and unwed pregnancy. I know that right now we are all worked up about getting the illegals to go home but these anchor babies will be the death of us in the long run. We must stop birth right citizenship along with securing the borders. Each day that this debate goes on, hundreds of thousands of anchor babies are being born, all citizens who, even if deported with their families can come back when they are 18. That will give them enough time to get indoctinated with the US belongs to us and then have the voting rights to back it up.
It would appear that someone’s plan is coming to fruition. The big question would be, who’s plan?
WOOOOHOOOO! Outstanding article, John! Thank you!
United Individuals of America are standing up to these anti-truth, anti-individual, anti-life POS collectives and their enablers.
In a sense, it does. It means "The Hispanic People", or "The Mexican People", but those of us who are of European heritage are not in "La Raza".
The term apparently started from a famous book, "La Raza Cósmica", or "The Cosmic Race", written in 1925. The author envisioned a "Raza de Bronce" or "Bronze Race", being a mixed Latin American race of all ethnicity mixed together (but with Mexican culture and language, of course) who would go forth into the world and create a "universal era of humanity". But with tacos.
The SPP, the Trans-Texas corridor, the high profile prosecutions of border agents, the confluence of Libs and patrician Republicans in pushing for an unabated flood of illegals who have NO allegiance to this country and only come here to get what they can - Is this all just random circumstance?
I believe there would be a rebellion if enough Legal American Citizens knew the real answer.
This needs to be in the WSJ. Would probably require a little tinkering but is too important not to get a much wider audience.
I would add something about the bill pending in Congress to give La Raza millions in tax dollars. I think it is 5 million the first year and 10 million thereafter.
IIRC, the sponsor is the Rep from Corpus Christi TX. Hinojosa, something like that.
