Let me get this straight. This group has a name that in it’s essence generates skeptisism and doubt in peoples minds as to their motives...and will continue to do so.
Many conservatives on FR are opposed to the aims and goals of this group and would like to minimize their influence in any way they can.
So, many FReepers are therefore demanding they change their name to something like “Cute and Fluffy Hispanics for the Well Being and Happiness of Everyone”.
I just don’t get it. Why is that so many conservatives can’t think strategically or long term? “La Raza” is a gift that will keep on giving for a long time and they turn sommersaults to make it go away.
Because “La Raza Cosmica” is a uniquely Mexican concept developed by Jose Vasconcelos nearly a century ago. The concept came out of the cultural portion of the Mexican Revolution, and asserted that the Mexicans possessed both the rational values of the European, and the spiritual values of the Indians, hence “the cosmic race/La Raza Cosmica.” Ever since, the term “La Raza” has been synonymous with “the people” in the Mexican public sphere.
La Raza is a gift that will keep on giving for a long time and they turn sommersaults to make it go away.”
Yeah they will give like crazy, especially with big ole pander bears like Juanito, huh?
So your strategy to defeating them is getting them to change their name?
Jackass liars, that LA RAZA.
"THE RACE"...>"THE RACE"...>"THE RACE"...>"THE RACE"...>"THE RACE"...>"THE RACE"...
No. My strategy for defeating them is to elect a POTUS that counts them as part of his F***ING BASE!

The Left is not a monolith by any means it is comprised of cults and NCLR is but one of many, it just happens to larger and louder than some of the failing, faultering ones like feminism. None of these cults could withstand any scrutiny or inquiry beyond what a Chrissy Matthews could give.
Oh OK, So then by this logic having an advocacy group for whites that protects and advances the rights of whites should be just dandy to LaRaza or any of these other race based groups. I am beginning to wonder if many white Americans are just flat out stupid.
?? "pueblo" is town. "gente" is people.
Many? Where?
That's because, as it turns out, the United states is NOT Latin America.
If they want to be here they've gotta' learn to use the language we use. Otherwise, they can go down home and use their own darned words their own way in their own place.
Until they figure out what to call their organization the rest of us will rightly consider it to be a virulently racist organization that hates Americans.
“Pueblo” m people; common people; town or village
“Gente” f people; folks; race; nation
Switch gears to “town,” and you get poblacion; pueblo; villa in that order.
From my “The New College Spanish and English Dictionary”
Ever hear the chant, “!El pueblo, unido, nunca sera vencido!”? Google it, and get a million hits. There are semantic differences, but both pueple and gente mean people. And pueblo is also one of the words for town.
Pueple? That’s a new one. Language shifting mid word.
