People need to become aware of just who this organization is that is promoting the Arizona bashing and they need to quit being so politically correct that they are afraid to identify just what this organization is and what their ultimate goal is.
The late Rep. Charlie Norwood from Georgia wrote an article in 2006 for Human Events which explained just who and what this group is up to. Among the stated goals of one of the organizations under the La Raza umbrella is Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA) is:
"Chicano is our identity; it defines who we are as people. It rejects the notion that we...should assimilate into the Anglo-American melting pot...Aztlan was the legendary homeland of the Aztecas ... It became synonymous with the vast territories of the Southwest, brutally stolen from a Mexican people marginalized and betrayed by the hostile custodians of the Manifest Destiny."
Substitute the word white in their motto and see what sort of reaction you would get. Their two sentence motto is:
For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada."
It means: "For The Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing."
The ultimate objective of this group is something they call the Reconquista, the Reconquest. They believe that the southwestern portions of the United States were stolen from them and they are dedicated to reclaiming it.
This group now sees a prime opportunity to advance their agenda and they are doing it by labeling their opponents as the very thing they publicly proclaim themselves to be. Legitimate organizations might want to slow down jumping on the bandwagon and spend a little more time identifying the players in this drama.
Too many uninformed and ill informed citizens are being swept along for the ride, to no small degree because of the lack of journalistic principles. Evidence of this lack of courage can be found in the article I linked to above from the Washington Post where they describe La Raza as simply the largest Hispanic civil rights group in the country, just like CAIR is a supposed civil rights organization for Muslims.
You also don't need to look very deep to find out the influence of the real muscle on the liberal side, SEIU.
"We take no pleasure in calling for a boycott, but we feel there is no alternative," said Eliseo Medina, executive vice president of the Service Employees International Union. "Any adverse impacts in the short term are outweighed by the long-term benefits of stamping out discrimination."
It seems lately that the only thing the SEIU does is organizes protests, whether it is on Wall St. or the health insurance industry. When it comes to crippling this country economically, you find SEIU.
For those who only see anything and everything labeled American as being evil, they will certainly find themselves at home with the La Raza crowd, and just like other similar organizations such as ACORN and CAIR, they have been able to fly under the radar and obtain credibility due to the lack of moral courage of the media and elected officials.
There has never been any doubt in my mind from day one that all of this outrage over Arizona simply enforcing the law has more to do with the fact that they actually intend to do something about illegal immigration and not just pay lip service to the problem, like so many politicians have done, so they could sleep at night and have a warm fuzzy feeling, never for once believing anybody would have the courage to actually take action.
I wish those in the sports world who are feeling pressure from these goons would take a few minutes to find out who the players are, and for the business community, you are being manipulated by the same organizations who at the drop of a hat will be on your doorstep making demands of you.
Michelle Malkin also did an in depth article about La Raza from a protest in 2006 in Washington D.C.
