Comments on: La Raza – Is it Racism? http://mylifeasanalien.wordpress.com/2008/07/22/la-raza-is-it-racism/ Life is a funny thing when you are a permanent stranger Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:33:34 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: johnnypeepers http://mylifeasanalien.wordpress.com/2008/07/22/la-raza-is-it-racism/#comment-276 johnnypeepers Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:30:09 +0000 http://mylifeasanalien.wordpress.com/?p=161#comment-276 A lot of vitriol is directed at La Raza for their supposed support of the reconquistador movement to reclaim parts of the Southwestern U.S. I have no clue as to the veracity of these claims, especially due to the fact that I see them in mostly zenophobic blogs (Michelle Malkin) and articles (Frontpage magazine). In a democratic society, identity groups will always vie for power political and social systems. I think the term "racist" is often misunderstood and overused. Racism is the fundamental belief that one race is superior to another. I have not read anywhere where La Raza maintains that belief regarding its represented members.
