The similarity of names consists of the term "La Raza", which I am told means, "the race". Not "race". Not "races". Not "a race". But, "THE race".
Now one might ask, "When they say, THE race, which one are they talking about? Caucasians? Negro? Mongoloid?
The answer is, "None of the above". Instead they have invented a new "race" based on a philosophy of entitlement.
Where do we hear mention of "THE race"?
"Por La Raza todo, Fuera de La Raza nada", which is often translated as "For the Race, everything, outside the race, nothing."
I claim that the "similarity" of names is intentional, and the intention is to support the philosophy of entitlement which seeks to negate U.S. immigration laws and the sovereignty of the U.S. in the southwestern states.
If somebody started an organization called "The Alabama Klan", I would have doubts about them too. The same would apply to "The Alabama Klan Lawyers Association".
Good post, well stated, William Tell.
Unless “La Raza Lawyers Association” specializes solely in matters pertaining to the Indy 500 or the Boston Marathon, or maybe the Kentucky Derby, there is no other rationale for that name other than the obvious. The name is not “similar” to “La Raza.” It is an extension of it. The group’s choice of name is absolutely intended to openly advertise the philosophical foundation of its members.
