Nah, it's more like the difference between the NAACP and The New Black Panthers.
Do Republicans boycott the NAACP, too? Or do they just look down on Latinos?
that could be Ravi....the guy who lives next door to me is an Illegal who has been here about 10-12 years.....he told me that La Raza would like to see the same thing as MEChA.....but since they realize that most Mexicans from Mexico dont buy into MEChA's bullshit.....and Mexicans born here dont buy their shit at all.... La Raza tries to distance themselves from MEChA.....and tries to portray themselves as a very civil and American type of Organization......but their over zealous spokes people usually **** it up for them by the way they present La Raza to the American Public.....hence the attitude towards them.....when i see their reps speaking around here i dont have any doubt what they would like to see happen here......they come off as very one sided......and it isnt America they are leaning towards.....
Well, I can only go by the Catholic churches connection to La Raza. Yeah, against all odds that I'd agree with the church.
I don't think most Mexicans feel the way mecha does. And you can't deny that Mexicans are shit upon by uptight lunatic nationalists. So forming a group to rectify that stigma makes sense to me.
Reminds me of the way Cubans used to be treated here. Most of them assimilated and no one really thinks twice about them anymore. But for a while there, they were evil incarnate.
