Do you think La Raza is a racist organazation?

Answer:
Well it appears the description of it's purpose on the top of the page would most definitely be considered discriminatory if not exclusive:
Working to improve conditions for Hispanic Americans
Which makes it as racist as all those other organizations working to better opportunities for every other race under the sun except for the good ol' Caucasian.
You see, as a Caucasian I have been given special powers simply by the virtue of my skin color. ( bet you didn't know that)
Everything was handed to me on a silver platter since the moment of my birth. I work full time for fun, not because i have bills to pay.
I got my job because I am white, not because I was qualified.
I graduated from high school and went to college because I am white, not because I applied myself.
As a white person, nothing bad will ever happen to me like what happens to all those other colored people, simply because my skin has special powers.
I guess other races have to create organizations to give them the same special power white people have. La Razapuke is just another one of those organizations handing out privileges to people who can't earn them with their own determination.
I don't think it is a racist organization. Many people here would want everybody to think that way.
Most defiantly. These people are unbelievable.
La Raza Unida and La Raza are two different groups .I don't know if they are affiliated or not.But La Raza Unida is absolutely a racists group.They advocate the killing of all people that are not brown.That's pretty racists to me ,at least in my world.
After reading the second link (I had already seen the first one before)I can now agree that yes La Raza has an agenda for this nation and its all/only for "The Race"I dont think that each member is a racists and I do know as Dar said that they also do a great deal of good in some areas.But they should NOT be receiving public funds from tax payer dollars.
To most of the mainstream media, most members of Congress, and even many of their own members, the National Council of La Raza is no more than a Hispanic Rotary Club. Not true!
But the National Council of La Raza succeeded in raking in over $15.2 million in federal grants last year alone, of which $7.9 million was in U.S. Department of Education grants for Charter Schools, and undisclosed amounts were for get-out-the-vote efforts supporting La Raza political positions.
The Council of La Raza succeeded in having itself added to congressional hearings by Republican House and Senate leaders. And an anonymous senator even gave the Council of La Raza an extra $4 million in earmarked taxpayer money, supposedly for "housing reform," while La Raza continues to lobby the Senate for virtual open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens.
Please read the second link .
I do. However, I also think it is a community group organization. There is a thin line between racial pride and racism, and I think they definitely cross it. They also serve proper community functions, however. It isn't as clear cut as MEChA, and I don't think every single person who supports La Raza is racist.
I think Not, LA RAZA is a Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization that works to improve opportunities for Hispanic Americans. And to the contrary of what some people think here is how they feel about illegal immigration:
These questions were compiled by the National Council of La Raza in response to questions we are frequently asked regarding our position on immigration reform.
Q: Does NCLR support undocumented immigration?
A: No. NCLR believes that all immigration to the U.S. should be safe and legal. Their lack of legal status means that undocumented workers are vulnerable and easily exploitable, resulting in unscrupulous employers offering these workers poor wages and working conditions. In addition, undocumented immigrants live in fear of detection, are vulnerable to crime, and not eligible for most social services, all of which contribute to difficult living and working conditions. It is in the best interests of the United States and of immigrants themselves to ensure that all immigration to the U.S. takes place legally.
Q: Does NCLR support undocumented immigrants?
A: NCLR advocates on behalf of the entire Latino population regardless of immigration status. We believe that all persons deserve dignity and respect, and that the human rights and civil rights of all persons must be upheld.
Q: Does NCLR advocate unlimited immigrant admissions?
A: No. Immigration to the United States is currently restricted, and NCLR supports these restrictions. In order to come legally as an immigrant, you must be sponsored by an employer (in a “highly-skilled” profession) or by a close family member, such as a spouse, parent, adult son or daughter, or sibling. NCLR supports these visa categories, and is working to ensure that all immigration can take place legally.
Q: Does NCLR believe in open borders?
A: No. NCLR does not and has never advocated open borders. We believe that the U.S. is a sovereign country with the right to control its borders. We care a great deal about how our borders are enforced; NCLR has long argued that enforcement at the border and in the interior must be conducted in a way that maximizes effectiveness without undercutting our values as a nation. We are especially troubled that more than a decade of increased enforcement measures along the U.S.-Mexico border have resulted in a steep increase in the number of border deaths without much impact in deterring migration. NCLR takes the position that any border enforcement policies must be both effective and humane.
Q: Does NCLR support an amnesty?
A: No. NCLR supports a path to citizenship for immigrant workers that requires them to earn permanent status over time. Unlike amnesty – which is an immediate and complete pardon – to earn permanent status an immigrant would have to register with the government, undergo a criminal background check, maintain a clean record, pay all taxes, learn English, and pay a fine to the government. This is very different from an “amnesty.”
YES, they are just as bad as the KKK, there really is no difference.
Without hesitation; YES! They should be classified as a hate group along with the KKK, Rainbow Coalition and the Black Panthers.
LA RAZA is just like the KKK. i have read on la raza and they preach alot of hate.
As racist as they get!
you decide these are their words Jose Angel Gutierrez, professor, University of Texas, Arlington; founder of La Raza Unida political party; and beneficiary of American generosity: "We have an aging white America. . . . They are dying. . . . They are ******** in their pants with fear! I love it!" "We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him.

Well, let's see: The group sponsors and directs racist schools. It promotes the "reconquista" movement that claims the American Southwest belongs to Mexico. In fact, its very name – which translates to "the race" – exposes its agenda. How do I say this politely? These people are Mexican Nazis!
if I hear this old saw about America owing everything to diversity one more time, I may gag. I may hurl. I may scream. It's not true. In fact, immigrants – and don't forget this – owe everything to America. We're not great because we're diverse. We're great because we once subscribed to a national creed. But thanks to the likes of La Raza haters, that's no longer true.La Raza may use the word "diversity." But the meaning of the word has been turned upside down. like illegal vs. legal.http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/articl...
Definitely racist!!!!!
Well, your first hint should be that La Raza means "the race."
And that they also say, " For those of the race- everything. For those outside the race-nothing"
Put that phrase on a white person and you'll have the ACLU knocking down their door. What's racist for one group, is racist for any group.
Yep.
I don't think so,just like with every organization they do tend to have their eccentric people in there but more or less they are doing something that they believe needs to be done and protecting people that they feel should be protected. in other words they believe they are doing something good and helpful. what i don't get is why are most on here quick to categorize such organizations as racist and whatnot while they cheer and applaud groups such as the minutemen who have no permitt to be an organization and who are armed. i'm not saying that the minutemen are wrong in what they do,to each their own and they believe also they are doing something good,but why not abide by the laws and at least have their organization recognize as being legit instead of not. and btw i'm sure they also have had their little eccentric people in there too,believed i read somewhere about how one chapter of the minutemen actually did let two men into their group who were known as being members of the skinheads,guess so much for the background checks they preach.
