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.

That’s true. A couple moved into our neighborhood and had a party with a lot of them there. They hated us.
Thank you El Presidente Bush and your buddies for selling our your country. This will be your legacy GW. We have to endure the dirtiness of this conflict. The rapes, the murders, the loss of jobs. You don’t.
Believe me, Senators and Congress people; don’t get to attached to your seats because you won’t be re-elected in 2008. We are electing our own people.
Thank you. This deserves to be widely known. BTTT
Foolish and greedy American politicians and special interests have been too long sowing the wind and we are all now beginning to reap the whirlwind.
It’s a shame the powers that be didn’t do their research on La Raza when welcoming them to KC for their convention.
Vigorous enforcement of immigration laws, combined with a few new laws that make the general climate less hospitable to illegal aliens would solve this in short order.
We’ve already seen the proof in certain areas where this has been done. Deport 5%; 80% will self-deport. You then have the ability to deal with the remaining 10%.
Ignore my faulty math...I was dealing with generalities. I should have said 15%, though. :-P
You of course are correct in your conclusions. I would take issue with this statement: “Not since 1066, when the Norman French conquered England, has a foreign population taken over the whole of an established nation and culture”
What about Kosovo? Now 10% Serbian, the rest albanian muslim and the US pushing for the Albanian illegal ‘migrants’ to have their own state.
What about the American Indian?
What about the Spanish conquest of Mexico?
Ping!
PING!
If our federal, state, and local governments would get the required testicular transplants so that they could better stand up for borders, language, and culture, these brown racists would not succeed. Mexico would need to take military action, and they would lose.
It also sounds like the brown racists of La Raza Unida are socialists, if not outright communists, judging by their language. If they succeed, the people under their rule, Hispanic and otherwise, would probably be miserable.
