What a flat-out lie. Someone needs to ask Obama how to say, “people” or “community” in Spanish.

Sorry, I don’t buy their obfuscations. La raza means the race and is a racist term.

“It's flat-out racism,” said Dominique Harkay, who opposes illegal immigration. “If they want to change that perception, they should change their name.”

Changing their name doesn't change their agenda.

Handgun Control, Inc. becomes Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence; Democratic Socialists of America becomes Progressive Caucus....Leftists love to cover up what they really are. Don't encourage them.

Oh, and Jihad means "internal struggle". Nothing to worry about.

So, the argument is that la raza loses something in translation. So do our laws, the constitution in particular. That is perhaps the most compelling argument for having English as our national language.

“While it is true that one meaning of 'raza' in Spanish is indeed 'race,' . . . words can and do have multiple meanings,” reads the statement. “ 'La raza' means 'the people' or 'the community.'

And "Nazi" can mean "warm fuzzy kitten."

Toro mierda. "Pueblo" means people, "communidad" means community, and "raza" means race.

Words have finite distinct meanings, even en espanol.

“The National Council of La Raza spends most of its time protecting and advancing the rights of Latinos through advocacy and community work.”

Umm... not exactly. La Raza spends most of it’s time and energy planning for the armed insurrection in the areas of the US it has claimed as Aztlan.

La Raza also spends most of it’s funds arming communist guerrillas in south and central America.

Hmmmm...Why no mention of La Razas motto, Barack?
How about you, Soto?...

Why no mention of the fact that La Raza’s motto is:

“For the Race: Everything!..For others: Nothing!”

La Raza is a racist, Non-American-Mexican group of Militant Foreign Aliens.

“Translating our name as 'the race' is not only inaccurate, it is factually incorrect. 'Hispanic' is an ethnicity, not a race. . . . Hispanics can be and are members of any and all races.” ..... Still, raza can mean different things to different people, even Spanish speakers. For some it means family and community, while for others it represents the language and customs of Latinos. ..... Several Latin American countries celebrate Oct. 12 as Dia de la Raza – Columbus Day in the United States – commemorating the beginning of a mixture between Spaniards and the native populations.

In Mexico, "la raza" is used to specifically refer to the Mestizo "race" formed by the intermarriage of Spaniards with the local Indians. The term has nothing to do with non-Mestizo Spanish-speaking countries.

A Cuban asked about "la raza" would want to know what "raza" you were taking about. The "negros"? The "blancos"? The "Indios"?

A hate group maybe, but a racist group clearly and on par with KKK, NAACP, ACLU, and RAinbow coalition.

That is all that need be said. Hate group.

If that is so, how come membership to la raza is limited to Mexicans and other hispanics such as myself are discouraged from joining?

Let me get this straight. This group has a name that in it’s essence generates skeptisism and doubt in peoples minds as to their motives...and will continue to do so.

Many conservatives on FR are opposed to the aims and goals of this group and would like to minimize their influence in any way they can.

So, many FReepers are therefore demanding they change their name to something like “Cute and Fluffy Hispanics for the Well Being and Happiness of Everyone”.

I just don’t get it. Why is that so many conservatives can’t think strategically or long term? “La Raza” is a gift that will keep on giving for a long time and they turn sommersaults to make it go away.

The Left is not a monolith by any means it is comprised of cults and NCLR is but one of many, it just happens to larger and louder than some of the failing, faultering ones like feminism. None of these cults could withstand any scrutiny or inquiry beyond what a Chrissy Matthews could give.

"The National Council of La Raza spends most of its time protecting and advancing the rights of Latinos through advocacy and community work."

Oh OK, So then by this logic having an advocacy group for whites that protects and advances the rights of whites should be just dandy to LaRaza or any of these other race based groups. I am beginning to wonder if many white Americans are just flat out stupid.

Yup, the way "race", as a word, is used in the United States is different than the way "race", as a word, is used in Latin America.

That's because, as it turns out, the United states is NOT Latin America.

If they want to be here they've gotta' learn to use the language we use. Otherwise, they can go down home and use their own darned words their own way in their own place.

Until they figure out what to call their organization the rest of us will rightly consider it to be a virulently racist organization that hates Americans.
