First of all, just ask yourself what the outcry would be if a white, black, or asian national group called itself ‘The Race’? They would quickly be denounced, and rightfully so. Anyone who separates themselves or judges others based solely on skin color is an asshat, plain and simple, be they white, black, yellow, brown, green, or plaid. The National Council of La Raza (a pro-illegal alien open-borders Hispanic advocacy group) literally means the National Council of The Race. THE Race. Someone please explain to me how that is not racist and why they are not lambasted for their platforms? Just how in the hell can we ever come together as one nation and one people–Americans–if various groups are constantly labeling, dividing and separating based on solely on race or ethnicity?
And now someone please also explain why in the hell John McCain is pandering to their organization? Michelle Malkin has posted a top-ten list of why, instead of pandering, he should actually be repudiating them.
10. La Raza supports driver’s licenses for illegal aliens.
9. La Raza supports in-state tuition discounts for illegal alien students that are not available to law-abiding US citizens and law-abiding legal immigrants.
8. La Raza opposes cooperative immigration enforcement efforts between local, state, and federal authorities.
7. La Raza sponsors militant ethnic nationalist charter schools subsidized by your public tax dollars, including the “Aztlan Academy” in Tucson, AZ, the Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, AZ, and Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School in St. Paul, Minn.
6. La Raza gives mainstream cover to a poisonous subset of ideological satellites, led by Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA), which the late GOP Rep. Charlie Norwood rightly characterized as “a radical racist group…[and] one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a racist nation out of the American West.”
5. La Raza opposes a secure fence on the southern border.
…
McCain was honored by The Race in 1999, keynoted The Race’s 2004 conference, and has championed their agenda for years.
As Michelle Malkin again points out, instead of pandering to a racist organization who not only openly supports lawbreaking but is against enforcing our immigration laws, if he wants to support a particular Hispanic group, why not support a positive pro-American group such as ‘You Don’t Speak For Me“?
