Hispanic Advocacy Group Leader Will Call Trump A Racist “By Definition” (LaRaza)
The Daily Caller ^ | July 14, 2015 | Taylor Beck

Posted on 07/14/2015 11:16:06 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

In the wake of Donald Trumps contextually confusing comments regarding Mexican immigrants, Janet Murguía, who leads the National Council of La Raza, will call Trump’s comments “by definition, racism” in a speech Tuesday afternoon, reports Politico.

Marguía sent an interview ahead of her Tuesday speech with a message to the Republican Party about the consequences of a figure like Donald Trump. In her speech, it is expected that Marguía will further address Trump’s off-color comments.

Ahead of her speech, many Democratic leaders including Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders discussed their utter disdain Trump’s comments to a crowd of Hispanic activists.

Murguía wants the party to know that Donald Trump is not just a comedic sideshow, but that he could truly hinder other reputable Republican candidates from receiving the Hispanic vote.

“To the leadership of the Republican Party and its candidates for president, I have this to say: What’s your excuse?”

She ultimately fears that the slow response by Republicans will further the stigma that the party is filled with bigots and backward ideas.

“They’re perilously close to really damaging their brand with Latino voters, and time is not their friend,” Murguía said.

They can go pound sand. The Race has most Republicans in their back pocket. I think the term, “racist,” has outlived it’s purpose since it has been thrown around so often the past 6 1/2 years.

Last I knew “La raza” translates to “The race.” Therefore, La Raza is racist using their own logic.

The left have turned the term “racist,” “sexist” and numerous others into a boy who cried wolf situation over the last few years. It has gotten to a point where a growing portion of the population just ignores it because they are sick of hearing how the police were racist to arrest a black guy for committing a crime or whatever the daily “racist” incident is supposed to be.

The woman in charge of a Latino supremacy group named “The Race” is going to call Trump a racist? A woman who is willing to eschew good immigration policy in favor of non-citizens because they have the same skin color as hers is going to call Trump a racist?

Racist is an interesting word, after all who are the real racists? A person that loves their race, is proud of all it’s accomplishments, wants to live with their own kind and preserve their heritage. Or is a racist someone that is trying to destroy someones heritage through mass foreign immigration, diversity, multiculturalism and race mixing?

The term “racism” was invented by communists. Leon Trotsky was one of the first to use it. When whites engage in favoritism toward other whites (and therefore discrimination against non-whites), it’s called “racism”. When other groups engage in favoritism, it’s called “ethnic solidarity”. When you buy into these word games, it’s called being a useful idiot.

Sometimes I wonder if what possessed Hitler came back as thousands of bats for all these losers’ belfries.

Reminds me of Matt 12:43 Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it. 44“Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came’; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order. 45“Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation.”

“Because she speaks for every Latino voter in America”

She doesn’t speak for this one, or any other that I know-since the entire organization is based on the ignorant and mistaken belief that Latino is a “race”-which it is not-she has zero credibility. Latino is an ethnic group, nothing more or less-and the majority of us are Caucasian-I have difficulty believing there are people who are still so out of touch they do not know that...

This real Hispanic (don’t try to tell me indians and Mezo-Americans are Hispanic or Latin because they are NOT) thinks Janet can take her opinion on the matter and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.

I was raised for 10 years in the land all of these “migrants” call México and know full well what kind of hell hole they created. I also know full well that their corruption is coming right along with them because that’s their culture.

I’ve been a staunch advocate against illegal immigrants and alien invaders since I was old enough to read the newspaper (back when the media only semi-lied to us) and saw their deeds for what they were in America.

I can tell you that this invasion will not end well here and will be one of the major reasons this nation ceases to exist. It’s not just me either who’s pi$$ed about the thievery “migrants” accomplish here.

Cubans are fed up with them too, as are many 3rd & 4th generation “Hispanics”.

This is an issue that has a life of its own and will keep on giving Trump 10’s of millions of dollars in free publicity.

By the same token, La Raza is a murderous organization to whom victim’s lives do not matter and can be done away with by the thousands for the La Raza cause.

******

The poor lady must live a sheltered life, because she doesn't seem to know that for a very long time, non-Hispanics have concluded that La Raza, by definition stands for "Mexican racist".

Go ahead, look for another English word or phrase on the internet equal to "La Raza", and the first word or phrase that you will find is "Mexican racism". (sarcasm)

Using the poor lady's absurd logic concerning the definition of words, then we can say this: "by definition" Mexicans are "drug dealers" and "criminals", both legals and illegals.
