O CLUB CHATTER

“ Pappy GM today has begun its public relations campaign to convince the public that it isn't a dying industry. By taking out full page ads. In newspapers. Savor the irony. ” Deacon Blues Afternoon, All. No one bought my house at the auction this morning so now I negotiate with the bank. Another bullet dodged. Thing From Snowy Mountain MUST NOT SNARK... Blonde therapy lifts spirits in crisis-hit Latvia. Grunter My wife saw a coyote yesterday, while out walking the dog. Coming out of Riverdale Park, in The Bronx. OldSpook FYI: if any defender of this crap says "it means the people, not the race" - tell them BULLSH*T. The guy that coined the term used it in a way that supports a racial supremacy angle, to wit: La Raza, the term, (literally "The Race") originated in the book La Raza Cósmica written by a Mexican writer, José Vasconcelos. He described La Raza Cosmica as the product of racial mixing over time that was already in progress in the Hispanic world. Vasconcelos believed in Supremacismin And they are discriminatory: Janet Murguía, CEO of the NCLR said at an award ceremony for U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales: "We are going to put our [Latino] people first" - prima facia racial discrimination. I suggest the following be put to Judge Sotomayor (as put by Congressman Norwood in addressing La Raza and its ties to MeCHA and Atalan and other organizaitons that advoicate racist separatist and irredentist Hispanic activities and sensitivities) 1. Denounce and sever all ties with MEChA and any other organizations with which they are now or have ever been associated or funded which held to the racist doctrines published by MEChA. 2. Denounce the statement "For La Raza todo, Fuera de La Raza nada" [“For the [hispanic race] everything, outside the the race, nothing”] as repugnant, racist, and totally incompatible with American society or citizenship. 3. Repudiate all claims that any current American territory rightfully belongs to Mexico. 4. Acknowledge the right of all Americans to live wherever they choose in the United States, and that no section or region of this country should be segregated by race or ethnic heritage. 5. Commit to sponsorship of nationwide educational programs to combat racism and anti-Semitism in the Hispanic community. 6. Seek neutral, third party supervision to ensure that all community and individual assistance programs offered by La Raza and groups supported by La Raza are accessible to all Americans, regardless of race or ethnicity, and that participation in those programs is fully compliant with Equal Opportunity laws. 7. Acknowledge the internationally recognized borders of the United States, the right of the citizens of the United States to determine immigration policy through the democratic process, and the right of the United States to undertake any and all necessary steps including military action to effectively enforce immigration law and defend its borders against unauthorized entry. Those 7 things must be very clear.
