I just posted this on my FB and thanks for the details on Cesar Chavez not liking La Raza, that kind of tells me something right there, he saw what they were about, no better than the KKK.
Here’s an explanation of that quote by the man in question: https://texascivilrightsreview.org/2010/07/21/j-a-gutierrez-on-the-origin-of-eliminate-the-gringo/
You will note that when clarifying what he meant by eliminating gringos his use of the “at this moment” when describing their intent.
That means it is still on the table.
He goes on to say it would be “self-defense” but given that their goal is the elimination of gringos from Texas and elsewhere that’s about as credible as Bill Clinton protesting innocence after getting caught pants down with a floozy not his wife.
... actually less believable....
