La Raza and Americans

A recent proposal in Congress — H.R. 1999, which was cosponsored in April by Reps. Ruben Hinojosa of Texas and Rick Renzi of Arizona — would provide $10 million a year to a radical immigration group, the National Council of La Raza (meaning "the race").

It gets better. Have you heard of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, better known by its acronym MEChA? If you live in California, you have. This group's Web site states: "We are Chicanos and Chicanas of Aztlan reclaiming the land of out birth," which according to their revisionist history, includes areas of the Southwestern United States.

In its answer to critics' charges of support for this radical separatist group, La Raza explains that MEChA is really just a "student organization whose primary objectives are educational" and that their founding charter's radical goals don't matter. To make its pathetic case, the group cites, of all things, a passage from a Los Angeles Times article by one Gustavo Arellano that "few [MEChA] members take these dated relics of the 1960s seriously, if they even bothered to read them."

So we're supposed to take the word of an LA Times reporter as an answer to this serious charge? The first page of MEChA's Web site states in bold print "The following documents are essential to the philosophy of MEChA. Every MEChista should be familiar with them," One of these, the MEChA "Constitution" states in its preamble: "Chicano and Chicana students of Aztlan must take upon themselves the responsibilities to promote Chicanismo within the community, politicizing our Raza [race] with an emphasis on indigenous consciousness to continue the struggle for the self-determination of the Chicano people for the purpose of liberating Aztlan (emphasis mine)." Can't see how members would ignore that.

So much for moderation.

Sickens me to read that we taxpayers are giving $10million to a supremacist hate organization.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I assumed it was photoshoped....

Well, only the hats. The condescending attitude is 100% real. ;)

[weegee]

That photo makes me ill like no other.

As bad as that one is, you must not have seen this one from PBS:

The Clinton Administration's take on National Security?

A big frickin' joke...

[Travis McGee]

Note that the official symbol of MEChA is this bird holding a lit stick of dynamite, and an Aztec head chopper, dripping blood. I kid you not.

MEChA came up with the Plan of Aztlan decades ago, and they still teach it and preach it. Google Plan de Aztlan to read it.

Note also that such illuminaries as Tony Villar (now remamed Antonio Villarigosa), the mayor of LA, were founding members of MEChA.

These are avowed racist groups yet the majority of the media and the leftists whisper nary a word of protest. But just mention the KKK and white supremacist groups and they go bonkers. I guess racism is okay with liberals and the media as long as it is the “correct” race you are extolling. So much for an unbiased media.

[Travis McGee]

Google around, and you will certainly find that at the university level, the “Plan de Aztlan” is still very much their current goal.

Some body better wise up and have a lobby for Eastern Europeans!You remember us the people who came to the USA to work and earn their money.We also learned the language and swore allegiance to America the land of the free and brave.We are the people who helped build America by the sweat on our backs and never collected a welfare check. Yepper we need a lobby since everybody else has one.

[hedgetrimmer]

This news is more than 20 years old, and yet the American people do NOTHING. As a people, do we lack the will to survive? Why do you suppose we allow this to continue in our country with our elected officials?

[weegee]

It would seem that "La Raza" is a national radio format, we've got the slogan here in Houston too.

I'm having difficulty this morning finding just which station uses it.

When the album rock ("classic" and modern hard rock) station rudely changed formats to Spanish radio. Their slogan today is "Latino and Proud".

[Cacique]

CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! AND KEEP CALLING TILL THE LINES FRY!

WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!

Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.

STOP AMNESTY NOW!! WE CAN DO IT!!

The best way to stop Shamnesty

Have you heard of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, better known by its acronym MEChA? If you live in California, you have.

Having grown up in So Cal in the late 60's early 70's in a heavily Hispanic area... yes I'm very familiar with La Raza & MEChA... had many go around with these a'ho up at Rio Hondo JC

La Raza is, for Hispanic, the Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton groups

MEChA is, for Hispanic, the Louis Farrakhan Nation of Islam group

“to promote Chicanismo within the community...”

****

I know some who work at KFC but they promote “Chicken-ismo”.

[NRA2BFree]

Both LaRaza and MEChA are radical, racist, Mexican groups who have one purpose, and that’s to take back land in the southwest that they think belongs to them. As someone who owns a couple of pieces of property in an area that they want back, I can tell you that the day they come down my road is the day that La Raza finds out about white women with guns who says “no way, Jose, bang, bang.” ;o)

[TheSpottedOwl]

Welcome back, Travis!

Tony Villar? I knew he was in MechA, but didn’t know he was a founding member(or that he changed his name). Bustamante is another one. No wonder the rioters felt comfortable attacking police with rocks and urine filled bottles.

Some enlightening audio clips from the Reconquistas.

# ‘Brown Beret’s’ Augustin Cebeda at the July 4, 1996 Rally in Westwood, California
“...if anyone is going to be deported it’s gonna be YOU!”

# Mario Obledo (California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations) on the Tom Leykis Show
“...eventually we are going to take over all the political institutions of California.....”

‘Chicano National Guard’s’ Ricky Sierra
“It’s Time to Take Back What Is Ours!”

# Mario Obledo, Co-founder of MALDEF, and Ray Briem
“...well if they don’t like Mexicans they ought to leave. They ought to go back to Europe.”

# Senator Hilda Solis’ - Claims that Illegals are Americans “whether we are legalized or not....”
Senator Solis is sponsoring an outrageous bill, SB-371, that would give illegal aliens the right to be issued drivers’ licenses in California.

# L.A. News Anchor on ‘Hispanic’ Attacks on Caucasian L.A.U.S.D. Teachers

# Jose Pescador-Osuna Claims Mexico is “Practicing Reconquista in California” (2/7/98).
“...even though I’m saying this part serious, part joking, I think we are practicing La Reconquista in California....”
“Reconquista” refers to the re-taking of the U.S. Southwest that Mexico lost in the Mexican-American War. Some Mexicans refer to this territory as “Aztlan”.

This news is more than 20 years old, and yet the American people do NOTHING.

Don't believe that for a second.

Years ago, those in California held a free election, Prop 187. It would have denied most all tax paid benefits to illegals. The Californians won this election overwhelmingly.

Then the state government, working directly in concert with the Federal government burned their ballots and declared their free election illegal. This was historic.

The corporations and business owners that wanted the dirt cheap labor were funding these politicians campaigns. They wanted nothing to do with this. The dirty corrupt fix was in.

Since then what has happened? Millions fled the state only to find the same thing happening where they fled to.

Unfortunately, the results of what occurred in California can now be seen just about everywhere in America now.

The politicians like then and now, are not representing the American people. They are only representing the business and corporation owners that demand low wage labor and higher profits, regardless of consequences.

[hedgetrimmer]

This news is more than 20 years old,

I was talking about La Raza and MeCha. They've been plotting to take over California for at least that long.

It is these groups that we do nothing about.

[dragnet2]

I was talking about La Raza and MeCha. They've been plotting to take over California for at least that long.

Well then, what I posted was even more relevant.

After all, where do La Raza and MeCha get their power from?

I'll tell you. From more and more of their own people coming in. Take away these millions of illegals, and just where exactly would La Raza be?

[happygrl]

Normally funding for community sevices has to be competed for, via grant writing. That is bad enough, but to just hand over the cookie jar is our Congress operating like the PRI handing our our patrimony.

Very depressing.
