Quoted from antpocas:

---

nclr is like the naacp, not the kkk

are you just pasting shit from free republic or something

---

Quoted from vissario:

---

This is fucking absurd, I did not make this thread to exchange childish broadsides with some callow moron who's modus operandi is to figure whether or not he can root you out as a Nazi.

---

Quoted from vissario:

---

For you laymen out there, La Raza means "The Race" in Spanish, and if you know anything about its politics, that name pretty much sums up what the organization stands for. They are a lobbying group which advocates illegal immigration, secessionist political movements in the West for a "Hispanic homeland" (also related to the Aztlan movement), and, when they aren't busy breaking down established laws, special earmarks for districts with primarily Hispanic ethnic blocs.

---

Quoted from vissario:

---

The curious thing about all of this, though, is that no one on the Republican side has made any sort of stink about this fact. I mean, just look at the ease at which they could paint Sotomayor as a special-interests judge who would be obviously not objective to the word of the law when it comes to issues Hispanics stereotype themselves as being focused on. Wouldn't it seem that they should raise this point en masse on the air waves and in the blogosphere? But of course not, that would be racist, now wouldn't it?

---

Quoted from vissario:

---

NCLR has been known to actively campaign for driver's licenses, special stipends, and amnesty for illegal immigrants who cross over into the United States and attempt to live here.

---

Quoted from vissario:

---

There's nothing new about this, and even though they deny it, it is a common secret that they would like to see their ranks swell with, you know it, HISPANICS because that is the only demographic bloc who is going to give them money and support. And why is this? Because, far from being a "civil rights group" interested in everyone's welfare, they are a special interest group who's only concern is benefit Hispanics in this country.

---

Quoted from vissario:

---

Seriously, don't be so fucking thick; "civil rights groups" like that and NAACP are little more than the KKK in their single-minded focus on benefiting the race of their choice.

---

Quoted from vissario:

---

Further, the NCLR has given both monetary and spoken support to MEchA, a secessionist organization composed of by students, laborers, and the intellectual cranks of the Hispanic community in the U.S. who envision a future where they eventually leave the United States to be annexed by Mexico. But this is probably an excellent idea, amirite antpocas?

---

Quoted from vissario:

---

So, Antpocas, if millions of illegal immigrants suddenly showed up from North Africa, you would have no problem feeding them, housing them, educating their children, and giving them all the civil rights you enjoy so that they can send half of their paycheck to their country of origin? Of, but of course you do!

---

Quoted from vissario:

---

You're just some dumb college kid who doesn't work, lives with his parents, contributes nothing in the way of taxes to the country, and literally lives on a level not far above that of a bum in terms of what you give back to your society! Why should you care?

---

Quoted from vissario:

---

Quoted from antpocas:

---

Well, either that, or they have that "empathy" emotion thing.

---

Where's their empathy for white and black people?

---

Quoted from vissario:

---

Quoted from antpocas:

---

MEChA is little more than an activist student organization now.

---

No denials that it's a secessionist organization, eh?

Quote:

I'm getting an education so I can later give back to society.

Quoted from Sandamnit:

---

I certainly don't speak for everyone here, but parts of my family and extended family are financially successful and for the most part, from my perspective all it does is bring to them added misery and frustration. Don't get me wrong, I'll make a very comfortable living for myself as I'm sure antpocas will as well; however, making the assumption that we'll be singing a different tune reveals more of your perspective on the role money plays in life than it does at actually predicting whether or not we'll suddenly become absorbed by our finances. If believing that helps you rationalize your own choices and perspectives in life then so be it, but just be aware that those words of warning have absolutely no weight whatsoever.

---

Quoted from Vissario:

---

But to my point, why is this so? Why has this organization not been mentioned at all in the general media when, if something like the KKK had been linked back to a white guy running for the same position, it would have been over before it started? Is there some type of double standard here when it comes to what racist ideologies are acceptable in polite political discourse? If there is, I would like to know what the difference between the two is.

Quote:

---

Their purpose in this system is to do a job that few, if any, want to because the pay is so horrendously low for it

Quote:

---

So in 2050, when I am considered an ethnic minority in the United States, will I be considered a revolutionary or simply a racist like these goons if I join the KKK?

---

Quoted from Sandamnit:

---

That's far too easy a stance to take: once its your money youll feel differently!


I really hate to break it to you, but not everyone puts as much emphasis on money and financial success as others do. I'm similar to antpocas in that I'm getting an education so I can go on to actually be a contributing member of society through becoming a professor, teaching, research, and so forth. I certainly don't speak for everyone here, but parts of my family and extended family are financially successful and for the most part, from my perspective all it does is bring to them added misery and frustration. Don't get me wrong, I'll make a very comfortable living for myself as I'm sure antpocas will as well; however, making the assumption that we'll be singing a different tune reveals more of your perspective on the role money plays in life than it does at actually predicting whether or not we'll suddenly become absorbed by our finances.
