La Raza, far from radical, seeks civility
San Jose Mercury News ^ | 06/13/2016 | Victor R. Garza and Noe Yaocoatl Montoya

As we watch the daily media coverage of the presidential campaigns, Americans should shake our heads in shame: Shame in knowing that a presidential candidate has resorted to the use of racism as his main platform, in order to fuel the fears and hatred among his supporters.

La Raza Roundtable stands by both the Mayor and Chief Garcia's handling of the recent Trump protest. We, like many of the critics, agree that the violent actions by a small percentage of both sides is deplorable. The fact that only a handful of arrests were made and no serious injuries or fatalities took place proves that they managed the situation correctly.


The Trump supporters came to peacefully assemble. The La Raza thugs came to physically attack.

La Raza has shown that it will be civil only if Americans do not oppose it.

Stand up for America and they get real ugly real fast.

When anyone on the left starts asking for ‘civility’ you can be certain they are losing the battle.

The intensity of the MSM desire for a dictatorial, non American form of government that will ultimately take away any rights the citizenry has is unfriggin’ believable.

Cesar Chavez vs. La Raza
By Mark Krikorian, October 16, 2009

When I wrote a few months ago about the origins of “la raza” as a racial-supremacist concept (developed in the ‘20s and ‘30s on the idea of the biological superiority of mestizos), Janet Murguia, head of the National Council of La Raza, pointed and sputtered over at the Huffington Post.

Well, while reading a memoir/history of the immigration reform movement by retired historian Otis Graham (who’s on CIS’s board), I find out that even Cesar Chavez rejected the “la raza” idea as inherently racist. Graham quoted a 1969 New Yorker profile by Peter Matthiessen:

“I hear more and more Mexicans talking about la raza—to build up their pride, you know,” Chavez told me. “Some people don’t look at it as racism, but when you say ‘la raza,’ you are saying an anti-gringo thing, and it won’t stop there. Today it’s anti-gringo, tomorrow it will be anti-Negro, and the day after it will be anti-Filipino, anti-Puerto Rican. And then it will be anti-poor-Mexican, and anti-darker-skinned Mexican. ... La raza is a very dangerous concept. I speak very strongly against it among the chicanos.”

And in Sal Si Puedes: Cesar Chavez and the New American Revolution, his 1970 biography, Matthiessen talked to Chavez deputy Leroy Chatfield:

“That’s one of the reasons he is so upset about la raza. The same Mexicans that ten years ago were talking about themselves as Spaniards are coming on real strong these days as Mexicans.

Everyone should be proud of what they are, of course, but race is only skin-deep. It’s phony and it comes out of frustration; the la raza people are not secure.

They look upon Cesar as their ‘dumb Mexican’ leader; he’s become their saint. But he doesn’t want any part of it. He said to me just the other day, ‘Can’t they understand that that’s just the way Hitler started?’

A few months ago the Ford Foundation funded a la raza group and Cesar really told them off. The foundation liked the outfit’s sense of pride or something, and Cesar tried to explain to them what the origin of the word was, that it’s related to Hitler’s concept.”

In 1968, the Ford Foundation started the Southwest Council of La Raza, presumably the “outfit” Chatfield was referring to, which five years later changed its name to the National Council of La Raza.

screw these dishonest propagandists — civility my a##

if they can defend the mayor and police chief, who allowed peaceful rally goers to be assaulted all over their streets, then these authors don’t know the first thing about “civility”

they are fraudulent poseurs

LaRaza is a race based organization. Either race exist and we can all use it for an agenda or it doesn’t and no race groups are allowed. Which is it?

The Racists crawl out of their hole to point their fingers at the victims of their terrorism?

It proves what we think of them: uncivilized scum, unfit to live among us. No big deal to them that ordinary people were chased and beaten to the ground.

Foreigners and Aliens, all of them. In addition to being murderous scum. They as a group crossed the final line that day in San Jose.

That the disgusting propaganda rag lets them push their nauseating drivel tells you all you need to know about that “newspaper” as well.

Members of La Raza is at war with each other in San Jose. The Nortenos are battling the Surenos. One uses the number 13 the other 14 with graffiti marking territory all over the city. One wears blue and one wears red and don’t wear the wrong color into the wrong neighborhood.

Teen fatally shot in San Jose’s 15th homicide this year

The 19-year-old, later identified as Christopher Keil, died at a hospital, San Jose’s 15th homicide of the year — and the sixth in the past two months.

Friends on Sunday struggled to fathom what they considered a senseless killing.

“He wasn’t a gang member,” said a friend who declined to give his name. Christopher was wearing what may have been a blue Dodgers shirt — a color that may have caught the wrong person’s eye on his quiet, tidy street

Judge Curiel is a member of the ominously-named "La Raza Lawyers' Group." (chills)

One of the La Raza Lawyer's Group co-founders publicly bragged about the La Raza group on US soil advancing the foreign policy objectives of Mexico....and are united in the latino boycott of Trump and his companies.

The stupid La Razan doesn't know that a provision in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) is intended to prevent United States citizens and companies being used as instrumentalities for political purposes.

The persons committing such acts are subject to the law when their activities relate to the sale, purchase, or transfer of goods or services (including the sale of information and/or videos) within the United States or between the United States and a foreign country.

This covers exports and imports, financing, forwarding and shipping, and certain other transactions that may take place wholly offshore.....AND/OR ACROSS THE BORDER.
