I personally am outraged, but then no one in the GOPe or the left care
La Raza - the Mexican KKK
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-surpremacist 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 (whos on CISs 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 razato build up their pride, you know, Chavez told me. Some people dont look at it as racism, but when you say la raza, you are saying an anti-gringo thing, and it wont stop there. Today its 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 razais 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:
Thats 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. Its phony and it comes out of frustration; the la raza people are not secure.
They look upon Cesar as their dumb Mexican leader; hes become their saint. But he doesnt want any part of it. He said to me just the other day, Cant they understand that thats just the way Hitler started?
A few months ago the Ford Foundation funded a la razagroup and Cesar really told them off. The foundation liked the outfits sense of pride or something, and Cesar tried to explain to them what the origin of the word was, that its related to Hitlers 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.

I realize he’s not popular here, but there’s a cross-linked video of H3ll here from 2006, to the CFR, in which she spoke on a physical barrier with Mexico to keep Mexicans out.

After seeing what we’ve seen over the past number of years it’s believable we elected so many idiots to represent us in both parties.
We out here in citizenland know so much more than our representatives about the La Raza dangers.
Our “representation” isn’t worth their letterhead.
Let’s start asking questions, and finding out about those we elect to govern our nation.
Watched the exploitation film “Machete” last night. Trouble is La Raza really believes it and wants to live it.
Been saying it for decades, Defund the Left.
