THE HISPANIC NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION REJECTS TRUMP'S RACIST ASSERTIONS
Washington, DC – The Hispanic National Bar Association represents the interests of nearly 54 million Hispanics/Latinos in the United States, which is approximately 17% of the U.S. population. By his recent derogatory remarks about Mexican immigrants, Donald Trump’s disrespect of such a large segment of the population of America is not only unbelievable, but outright wrong. His comment that Mexico only sends rapists and criminals to the United States reveals a racist nature that cannot and will not go unnoticed by the Hispanic National Bar Association nor the Latino community.
Those who seek our highest public office should attempt to engage all Americans, not divide us. His comments are clearly divisive and racist and do nothing to promote equality and justice for all. Trump’s statements reveal a bias that all Americans should reject and respond to accordingly. We cannot stand silent and allow Trump to promote such racist and discriminatory behavior. This is the time for all Americans to take a stand against his insensitive, offensive and untrue statements.
The HNBA calls for a boycott of all of Trump business ventures, including golf courses, hotels, and restaurants. We salute NBC/Universal, Univision and Macy’s for ending their association with Trump, and we join them in standing up against bigotry and racist rhetoric. Other businesses and corporations should follow the lead of NBC/Universal, Univision and Macy’s and take similar actions against Donald Trump’s business interests. We can and will make a difference.

What else did we expect they would do but reject Trumps assertion?
...isn't that specialllllll.
Either send them all back across the border, or to zoos so people can watch them and study their weird and amoral ethnic habits. LMAO!!!!
How are Trumps comments racist? Mexico is a country, not a race. “Raza” means “race.”
The fact the association exists is prima fascia evidence of racism
ditto the Black Caucus
Ditto CAIR
Ditto NAACP
Ditto Al Sharpton
Exactly!
Olli-olli oxen free! Lets grind some sausage, kids!
Are white people really racist if they don't want to have to work an extra day a week so a group of people can get "free" food, housing, healthcare, and college educations especially when they can't receive any of the same benefits because of reverse racism exhibited by minority social workers?
So who are the real racists here?
Shouldn't the Judge resign from the organization or disavow the boycott? If not, shouldn't he at least recuse himself from the case? If not, why not?
Wouldn't a "white" judge have a howling mob and the thunderous media after him if he were in the same position like being a member of a country club that restricted it's membership? In fact, we have seen precisely that and even had a Supreme Court nominee (Clement Haynsworth) turned down for that very reason!
Soros showed the hordes how to use PC and redefining words to create a race war. Then he sits back and pats himself on the back as he watches the idiots all battle themselves to death for his enjoyment. Damn it must be great being a god on earth.../s
“The Hispanic National Bar Association represents the interests of nearly 54 million Hispanics/Latinos in the United States, which is approximately 17% of the U.S. population.”
By its own statement the organization admits it is not inclusive and is discriminatory. The IRS should immediately revoke its non-profit, tax exempt status.
Could, though I think most people identify with religious or ethnic traits. There are Jewish, Christian, Catholic and Muslim bar associations, as well as many ethnic groups other than Hispanic. Seems to me the issue is the boycott.
I guess Hispanic lawyers are not that good.
There are several Christian/Catholic associations. I'd disagree that it's the name, it's the actions we should be concerned about. La Raza as a name is a different issue, it is racist both in appearance and intent.
Soros is no God ,,, instead he is the Devil himself manifested in the human form . He has single handily destroyed 5 national currencies to date and has his sights on the USA and gets plenty of aid from another cult demon named Barrack Hussein 0bama . Damn these bastards !!!!
Indeed—when he expressly stipulated that he expected they were not all such.
As a term racism is commonly used to describe ethnic and religious bias. It’s in our lexicon now. It’s even being expanded to sexual “identity”.
You did see I put the /s tag and the little “g” in god, right? If you’re just venting flame on...;lol
I hear more and more Mexicans talking about la raza—to build up their pride. Some people don’t look at it as racism, but when you say ‘la raza,’ you are saying an anti-gringo thing, and it won’t stop there.

In my mind he should recuse himself. Resignation isn't enough after tacitly supporting the boycott by his membership. I don't know the legal basis' for recusal. Since Trump's lawyers haven't filed a request, I can only assume the boycott call/membership isn't enough. But it sure stinks on it's face.
But I’m French AND German...
