Tancredo: Sotomayor Is A Member Of The ‘Latino KKK Without The Hoods Or The Nooses’
Tancredo: Sotomayor Is A Member Of The ‘Latino KKK Without The Hoods Or The Nooses’
Seizing the opportunity to vilify a female, Hispanic Supreme Court nominee, noted bigot Tom Tancredo has emerged from obscurity to denounce Judge Sonia Sotomayor. Earlier this week, Tancredo declared her to be a “racist” who should be “disqualified” from serving on the bench.
This afternoon on CNN, he went further, attacking her affiliation with the National Council of La Raza as equivalent to being a member of the Ku Klux Klan:
TANCREDO: If you belong to an organization called La Raza, in this case, which is, from my point of view anyway, nothing more than a Latino — it’s a counterpart — a Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses. If you belong to something like that in a way that’s going to convince me and a lot of other people that it’s got nothing to do with race. Even though the logo of La Raza is “All for the race. Nothing for the rest.” What does that tell you?
SANCHEZ: Alright. We’re not talking about — we’re not talking about La Raza –
TANCREDO: She’s a member! She’s a member of La Raza!
Watch it
The La Raza line is the latest right-wing attack on Sotomayor. Right-wing groups have been waging war against La Raza since the 2006 immigration rallies. Conservatives, including Rep. Charles Norwood (R-GA), claim the group “supports racist groups calling for the secession of the western United States as a Hispanic-only homeland.” The right-wing blog Stop The ACLU calls La Raza “an anti-white extremist group.”
These attacks — promoted by Drudge — are only going to escalate. Of course, the characterizations are wildly false. La Raza is the nation’s largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization that focuses on such nefarious issues as “civil rights/immigration, education, employment and economic status, and health.” Used to these attacks, La Raza has a long fact-sheet debunking the unhinged claims of the right, including pointing out that “La Raza” translates as “the people,” not “the race,” as the right wing suggests.
Tancredo echoed a popular right-wing myth, claiming the group’s slogan is “All for the race, nothing for the rest.” When ThinkProgress asked a La Raza spokeswoman, she replied, “No. That’s very much incorrect.” In fact, the true slogan is “Strengthening America by promoting the advancement of Latino families.” A far cry from Tancredo’s egregiously false, race-based characterization.

Cruz Bustamante in California got crucified for his association with MECHA, the Movimiento Estudiantes Chicano’s de Aztlan. AZTLAN, LA RAZA, now there’s some concepts. As a Mexican, I’ve been telling you liberal morons that if Mexicans can come over here and take back over your South West without firing a shot, then you better get hip to the idea that ISLAM is going to do the same thing thru LAWFARE and any other form of “TAQIA”. And instead of just enjoying a burrito, you’re going to be forced to respect prayer 5 times a day. Orale LA RAZA, Sonia, you’re alright. Break out the Jerked Chicken.

May 28th, 2009 at 5:05 pmI really don’t get why the media is so GD stupid. Seriously, Tom Tancredo? Everything about his disastrous 2008 campaign centered on the threat of Mexicans. This guy is an unabashed racist and yet we have the media playing right along and letting him spout off this anti-Latino crap.
I know the media needs to find someone that disagrees. But YOU DON’T GIVE AIRTIME TO A RACIST CLOWN LIKE TANCREDO!!!!
May 28th, 2009 at 5:06 pmYou know, each time one of you “conservatives” posts, you invariably show your own innate stupidity, particularly in your ability to understand language.
If you understood foreign languages, or if your “wife” did, then you’d know direct translations from a language dictionary seldom show the actual meaning of a foreign word.
LA Raza does NOT mean “the Race” when spoken in context. It means “THE PEOPLE”.
You know the People, right? They’re the ones your party’s always sh$tting on.

May 28th, 2009 at 5:15 pmGood. The GOP is doing our work for us.
May 28th, 2009 at 5:16 pmOh for crying out loud. LA Raza refers to “The People” meaning the people of Spanish, Mexican and essentially all Latino decent.
It means basically “the People of Latin descent” or just “The People”.
The literal translation of a word is different than the translation of a TERM, as anyone who actually SPEAKS a foreign language would know.

May 28th, 2009 at 5:17 pmTancredo proves himself to be an old, white, male, racist, sexist idiot. These are simply facts, no slurs, no smears. Tancredo has proved it with his own words. His ludicrous inventions are the mark of a hysterical, desperate, ignorant male. What a bigoted buffoon. Please, never ever ask this man his opinion again. Never. I never want to hear from him again after his ridiculous, dishonest rant.
May 28th, 2009 at 5:17 pmLa Ra·za (lä räsä)
n.
Mexicans or Mexican Americans considered as a group, sometimes extending to all Spanish-speaking people of the Americas.
[American Spanish, the people.]
La Raza:
“According to the National Council of La Raza, the term “La Raza” has its origins in early 20th century Latin American literature and translates into English most closely as “the people,” or, according to some scholars, “the Latino people of the New World.”
The term was coined by Mexican scholar José Vasconcelos to reflect the fact that the people of Latin America are a mixture of many of the world’s races, cultures, and religions. Some people have mistranslated “La Raza” to mean “The Race,” implying that it is a term meant to exclude others. In fact, the full term coined by Vasconcelos, “La Raza Cósmica,” meaning the “cosmic people,” was developed to reflect not purity but the mixture inherent in the Latino people. This is an inclusive concept, meaning that Latinos share with all other peoples of the world a common heritage and destiny. ”
And CFP, you dumbass, Puerto Rican Spanish and Mexican Spanish, particularly slang, are not the same. Ask your Puerto Rican friend.
May 28th, 2009 at 5:18 pm“All for the race …”

La Raza means “The People” meaning the people of all Latin descent. That’s what it means. The translation is not direct and only a complete moron tries to translate directly from a dictionary.
For example, when “Conservative For Progress” sings his Party Marching song “Horst Wessel Lied”, and says the following line;
“Die Strasse frei den braunen Bataillonen“, which literally translated from the dictionary means “The Streets freely that brown battalions“,(which seems to mean nothing) however for those who actually SPEAK German, they know that it translates to “Clear the Streets for the Brown Battalions“.
The word “Clear” never appears in the sentence, however if you SPEAK the language, then you understand what it actually means when they say the term “Die Strasse Frei”.
That’s why when you stand there with an English\German dictionary however, like a bumbling tourist, no one actually can understand you and you can’t understand them.
Because translations from foreign languages are NOT precise.
If it were a word for word translation, then all anyone would ever need to learn a foreign language is a dictionary.
But it’s NOT. Language translations are NOT precise, so therefore you need someone who actually KNOWS what they’re talking about, instead of MORONS, with language dictionaries.
Conservatives continue to prove what undereducated idiots they really are, each time they post.

The only thing desperate are the nutjobs on the right side who can’t seem to read entire speeches and opinions Sotomayor has given. If you can read them – or get someone to read them for you – you will notice all the quotes you are delighted by are incorrect or taken out of context.
But really, you never were interested in the truth – it is simply a juvenile, backyard game to play so limbaughs fortune can grow even larger.

All claim to do charitable work for their people. All are wrong.
Jose Angel Gutierrez, the founder of La Raza once said:
“We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him.” http://www.uta.edu/ucomm/mediarelations/official-statements/statements/Statements-by-Jose-Angel-Gutierrez.php

May 28th, 2009 at 5:40 pmIt’s my understanding through secret anonymous sources that Alberto Gonzalez joined the KKK early in life and because he had a few trophies on the wall in his offices throughout his career, the right wing of America was fine with Gonzalez. See? Knowing he oversaw the defining of torture and breaking the law for George Bush puts Gonzalez in as the “Head Hispanic” in their book.

You’re aligning Obama with La Raza because he wants to have Sotomayor as a Supreme Court judge? You’re making your connections based on cherry-picked quotes. You have no reason to deny her nomination, so you’re grasping for straws. Let me guess…this is all linked to the Obama/Chrysler conspiracy?

Gringo doesn’t mean “all white” people, just the bigoted, racist ones.

I’d add that it doesn’t necessarily refer to bigoted North Americans, and it’s certainly not a derogatory term in all contexts.

La Raza and National Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) were movements within the larger Chicano movement of the 70s and 80s. The groups are still around, of course.
Another group in there was called La Gente de Aztlan (The People of Aztlan), where Aztlan is basically Mesoamerica.

May 28th, 2009 at 6:45 pmTancredo was born in Denver, Colorado to Adeline Lombardi and Gerald Tancredo. Both sets of his grandparents emigrated from Italy.He attended St. Catherine’s Elementary School and Holy Family High School there. He graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a degree in political science. Tancredo was active with the College Republicans and a conservative, nonpartisan organization, Young Americans for Freedom (YAF). As a Republican student activist Tancredo spoke in support of the Vietnam War. After graduating from the University of Northern Colorado he became eligible to serve in Vietnam in June 1969. Tancredo has said he went for his physical, telling doctors he’d been treated for depression, and eventually got a “1-Y” deferment. In 1976, while teaching history at Drake Junior High School in Denver, he ran for and won a seat in the Colorado House of Representatives. He served two terms (1977–1981) and was one of the leaders of a vocal group of conservative legislators opposing the policies of Colorado Governor Dick Lamm.

May 28th, 2009 at 6:49 pmAt first it was used as an insult against Hispanics, until Hispanics took pride in defending their ancestry.
1) Why would a Puerto Rican woman be an advocate for Mexican separatism? Aztlan isn’t even a Spanish word.
May 28th, 2009 at 6:55 pm2) Sonia Sotomayor’s parents were native born American citizens. Samuel Alito’s were not. Antonin Scalia’s father was not.
3)The Southwest seceding from the uion is disastrous, but Texas seceding is OK?
4) Why would Latinos want to break up the United States if they are taking over the government instead?
5) The re[ublicans specialize in bogeymen that aren’t a threat, while they collapse over real ones. Al Qaeda? did nothing. North Korea? negotiated, offered aid. Iraq–THEMN they invade.

May 28th, 2009 at 7:02 pmRe: The whole issue of the translation of “la raza”.
Look, it doesn’t matter what it means, but the fact is that cultures DO have words that have meanings deeper than direct translations can provide. “La raza” may mean “the race” in English, but to Hispanics, the meaning is much deeper and not directly translatable.

Oh the slander I seen here about saying “Whites do like your forefathers and just burn a cross”…
Those days are long gone, and to refer to the modern Whites along with the few Whites in history is a fallacy…

Hate it all you want, but the truth is, minorities are racists by a much farther margin the Whites today.
If anything, it was Whites who voted in a black man as president. The minorities couldnt even team up in strength enough to do this for jessie jackson LOL
Face it, White = logical fairness and minority = hidden hard core racist :)

Suffice to say I do not share your perspective on this. I do not believe it is a matter of “feeling that they are a superior race”, but rather a “celebration and appreciation of their culture.” They are not one and the same unless one persists in seeing culture and race as completely synonymous, which they are not.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:53 pmThe fact is, just as many, if not MORE minorities are racist then Whites now days.
Assuming you mean what you’re trying to say (you left out the word “as” and then wrote “then” when you meant “than”), you have not offered any proof whatsoever to your white supremacist claim.
Fcukheads like you want to believe there’s racism coming from minority groups in order to validate your own bigotry.
Now that’s a FACT you can put money on, d o u c h e b a g.

May 29th, 2009 at 1:11 amLa Raza (literally “The Race”) sometimes denotes people of Mexican American and Mexican descent, the Hispanic world, and mestizos who share Native American or national Hispanic heritage.
In 1925 Mexican writer José Vasconcelos described La Raza Cosmica as the product of gradual racial mixing already underway in the Hispanic world. Vasconcelos predicted all people within the Spanish Empire would be completely mixed into a new race.
It’s about race. You can spin it, deconstruct it, gloss it over, redefine it for political correctness, but La Raza is the race. Ms. Sotomayor has an Hispanic chip on her shoulder, like it or not. She is a bright lady who has overcome adversity. That alone does not qualify her to sit as a Federal Judge or a Supreme Court Justice.
May 29th, 2009 at 1:44 amI’m Chicano and to the best of my understanding the term “La Raza” came into use from a novel describing the “cosmic race”. The “cosmic race”, as best I understand it, refers to the universal mixed character of peoples in and around Mexico, having bloodlines that are indigenous as well as European, African, and more.
As far as La Raza the organization, I don’t really know what Tancredo is talking about. I’ve only seen it perform as an advocacy and education institution.
I really think from this example as well as numerous others that right-wingers are simply using the strategy of telling such large whoppers of lies that it throws off people. It would be like a bunch of convicted wife beaters arguing against a new director of a women’s shelter because they view her as having sexist attitudes towards men.
Oh right-wingers, you better hope that heaven and hell don’t exist, cause if they do you should move to the desert right now to start acclimating.

May 29th, 2009 at 6:10 amThe cry La RAZA comes from the so called Chicano struggles of Los Angeles, “Que Viva La Raza!”, “long live the race” a cry that accompanies La Raza, comes from racist Chicanos, Mexican-Americans with an inferior complex, with a victimhood complex.
La Raza ONLY includes Mexicans and Mexican-Ameircans(Chicanos).
No self-respecting Latino would EVER use the term La RAza with a Latino or American audience.
The Term comes from the so called Chicano struggles and the fact that they believe that Mexican-Americans are better, superior than other Latinos and white AND black Americans.
Additionally, La Raza is never used to talk about family or anything else that the other poster claimed.
La Raza is used by racist Chicanos and Mexicans, period end of story, Everything else is an excuse to justify racism coming from the left and very racist Chicano groups.
May 29th, 2009 at 6:27 amLa Raza can be translated here to “The People” and, in a minor degree, as “The Pride” or “The Honor”. So, is about defending the latino people in a highly pro WASP society, firstly by being no more considered only as the mute nanny, maid or landscaper.
Guess that, from the POW of a british descendant must be shocking to hear them speak and say “NO MORE”.

And these struggles happened why? Because they were treated as second class citizens in a land where their families lived before many of the citizens of LA?

That’s because you’re a racist who assumes that we all think alike. You also don’t care about “La Raza” gangs shooting innocent black people in the streets of LA.
May 29th, 2009 at 7:55 amWhy the Hell can’t we have have a nation as it was inteded, a nation for the people, of the people. It doesn’t say anything anywhere about catering to special groups. Politicians are public servants, and are supposed to serve “all” of the people.
May 29th, 2009 at 8:05 amCan she serve everyone or will she focus on her crusade?
Really, since when does the right wing in this country have a problem with racists?
May 29th, 2009 at 9:08 amThis spokesman perfectly embodies today’s GOPster tactics. The rhetoric is utterly ridiculous and can only appeal to a narrow demographic.
May 29th, 2009 at 9:47 amApparently, GOPs are using such tactics because this is what they’ve always done, and because they have been successful for so many years in using them, this is all they know how to do.
It remains to be seen if such tactics will still work, or if they are now so totally repudiated that the GOP will soon be reduced to a regional party with a national effect ranging from little to none.
As I see it, there are only two ways Repubs could retake control of the federal government:
1. Obama proves to be a monumental failure.
2. There is another 9/11 (predicted by most credible experts as a virtual certainty within 7 years).
If the latter comes to pass, because Cheney and his running dogs are yapping so frequently and vigorously re. Obama’s “naively dangerous” policies re. national security, they would have positioned themselves to say “I told you so” if there is another 9/11. That’s why Cheney & Co. are yapping.
After all, recent polls show that Cheney has gained in popularity since his assault re. Obama’s national security views, and that the people still favor torture.
If Repubs return to power as a reaction to a new 9/11, the reign of tyranny they would institute would make Nazi Germany seem like the Netherlands.
“How fortunate it is for government that the people do not think”–A. Hitler.
When the towers fell, Osama gloated that this would eventually spell the end of democracy because the U.S. would eventually install tyranny in reaction.
How prophetic will he turn out to be?
Sotomayor belonged to La Raza.
Conservatives don’t like it.
She’s going to be confirmed anyway.
Guess what, Con4Progress? Your points are, well, interesting, but not that important.
Except to the WHITE racists, of course.
May 29th, 2009 at 10:31 amThe Evil Spaniard is right on.
The only reason we have ‘racist’ organizations like La Raza or the NAACP is simple: They’re only trying to protect themselves from persecution.
The blind eye that white racists turn towards American history and even today’s racism is amazingly selective. I guess now that we have a colored President, racism is GONE, right?
Whew. I wouldn’t want to live in the head that gives a home to idiocy like that.

It’s cute how you guys keep saying “end of story” after making false claims. Just because not being part of the human race makes you a minority, you don’t have to fear discrimination. Us humans are actually decent folk, and the U.S. Constitution protects you from being discriminated against, even for being unhuman.
May 29th, 2009 at 10:36 amSotomayor is a member of La Raza.In addition to her work on the bench, Judge Sotomayor is an adjunct professor at New York University School of Law and a lecturer-in-law at Columbia Law School. She is a member of the American Bar Association, the New York Women’s Bar Association, the Puerto Rican Bar Association, the Hispanic National Bar Association, the Association of Judges of Hispanic Heritage, and the National Council of La Raza. She has received many honors including, most recently, an award from the National Association of Women Lawyers.
According the American Bar Association, Sotomayor is a member of the NCLR, which bills itself as the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S.

Meaning “the Race,” La Raza also has connections to groups that advocate the separation of several southwestern states from the rest of America.
May 29th, 2009 at 4:00 pmIs the NAACP the black KKK? The Jewish League the Jewish KKK? The numerous organizations formed by the many different races and nationalities that have come to the US throughout successive waves of immigration, organizations that were created to obtain and promote the rights, protections and opportunities that were the very promise of this nation, do all of these associations exist for the terrorizing and persecution of the others’ members?
Not no, but hell no! Tancredo’s statement is false on its face and as ludicrous as one would expect from him and his ilk.
The literal translation of La Raza is irrelavant, a moronic smokescreen. And all of the organizations referenced above have probably found themselves, at one time or another, in the well-known ’strange bedfellows’ position. But political alignment on narrow issues does not constitute identical ideology. More smokescreen b.s. from the Right(Wrong) Wing.
May 29th, 2009 at 5:52 pmThe right-wing blog Stop The ACLU calls La Raza “an anti-white extremist group”, whereas the neocons are a mostly-white, anti-equality, pro-military-industrial, wildly delusional extremist group.

WHAT IS RAZA
http://www.mayorno.com/aztlan.html
“La Raza” (The Race) is a broad term which refers to those whose ancestry is indigenous to the area of Mexico (or “Aztlan”). MEChA members refer to themselves as “La Raza” or “Raza,” but the term itself is used to indicate camaraderie among those in different organizations with the same objectives. There are a number of organizations who consider themselves to be La Raza.
The most visible of these groups are MEChA, The Brown Berets de Aztlan, OLA (Organization for the Liberation of Aztlan), La Raza Unida Party, and the “Nation of Aztlan” to name a few. Although the activism of these organizations vary from somewhat radical to extremely radical, they share the same objectives, the “liberation of Aztlan.” Each follows the Raza manifesto http://www.mayorno.com/aztlan.html (sometimes called “El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan”). The Nation of Aztlan, tied to La Voz de Aztlan disseminates the exact same propaganda that MEChA spreads including antisemitic propaganda. Believers in the Aztlan legend insist upon the indivisibility of “La Raza” and their common goals, one of them being the need to abolish the border between the U.S. and Mexico. There is a myriad of Raza college newspaper. Some are El Popo, Aztlan News, Chispas, Gente de Aztlan (UCLA), Voz Fronteriza (U.C. San Diego), La Voz Mestiza (U.C. Irvine) and La Voz Berkeley. It is not uncommon for the writers of these publications to refer to the U.S., as “AmeriKKKa.”
May 30th, 2009 at 11:42 amAnd tell me, just why should we give a rip for what the has-been congressman, Tandredo, says about anything. First he is just a simple U S resident now, the same as I am. So, he has a right to say what he said but I have no inclination to listen to what he says. His long history of bias against minorities is legend. Poor thing just cannot keep from stirring up those memories in the electorates mind.
May 30th, 2009 at 7:09 pmAs the old saying goes it takes one to know one so as a racist Mr. TANCREDO would be able to spot a racist group as he him self is a racist or then again he didn’t even Know what was on the site So made someone lied to him we should ask if that person also told him he is a CoolArrow and that it was a good thing in Spanish LOL
