Uh, ask a Venezuelan, Colombian, or Cuban in South Florida what "La Raza" is and you will get a blank stare.

The origins of "La Raza Cosmica" were created by the Mexican intellectual Jose Vasconcelos. It was used to unite the people during the revolution. It was pure government propaganda and unique to Mexico.

I can't believe people actually take this organization seriously. They get all of their funds from the Ford Foundation and other corporate foundations and have as much popular support as a bottle of whiskey in Mecca.

A bottle of whiskey in mecca doesnt have both the chairmen of the Republican and Democratic parties speaking at its convention. The National Council of La Raza does.
