LOL. When in doubt play dumb huh? Your support for such organizations is all over this very thread along with such notable comments like "They want California back? I'd be inclined to give it to them". and your characterization of MECha as “mainstream”. And given the way you consistently defend organizations like NCLR, MECHa and others like it, you leave a very distinct impression that you share their general objectives. Sorry Luis you can't have it both ways.
And you have no sense of humor whatsoever.
My Lord but you must be an absolute riot at parties.
M.E.Ch.A. IS mainstream...in US colleges.
I know the differences between PACs such as M.E.Ch.A., NCLR, and MALDEF, and racist bigots like La Voz De Aztlan.
I don't particularly agree with a majority of the policies spoused by NCLR, MALDEF, and MEChA, but they are no more outside the mainstream of Chicano politics than the National Urban League is outside the mainstream of African-American politics.
The problem with you is that there ARE two discernible sides, and you want to make them one by lumping everyone under a blanket woven by the words and actions of the lowest common denominator.
And that is YOUR problem, not mine.
Why is it with you guys that anyone who simply acknowledges something is automatically "defending" it?
I acknowledge the legitimacy of the DNC, but I neither defend it or support it.
