Loosely translated it means 'a storms spirit'.

Sounds like a Stormfront name to me.

Forget her comments and look at her legal rulings. She discriminated aginast the White firefighters who scored highest on the test for promotion and the city threw out the results because not enough minorities scored high enough to get promoted. That decision was pure racism and she upheld it. The US Supreme Court overturned her decision (the same court she now sits on). I wonder what they must have thought of her when she joined the court.

As for Obama being a racist there can be no doubt. He sat in a racist church for 20 years. he brought his young children to that church to hear that vile racist preacher. What would you think of someone who attended a White supremicist church for 20 years and then claimed he wasn't a racist? Come on. No one is that naive.

Many people incorrectly translate our name, “La Raza,” as “the race.” While it is true that one meaning of “raza” in Spanish is indeed “race,” in Spanish, as in English and any other language, words can and do have multiple meanings. As noted in several online dictionaries, “La Raza” means “the people” or “the community.” Translating our name as “the race” is not only inaccurate, it is factually incorrect. “Hispanic” is an ethnicity, not a race. As anyone who has ever met a Dominican American, Mexican American, or Spanish American can attest, Hispanics can be and are members of any and all races.

I read a lot of the far right websites; they like to use such Germanic names.

Wow, talk about re-branding for PR purposes. Ok, maybe the White supremicist groups should promote the "White People" or the "White Community" instead of the "White Race". That would make it all right then, according to La Raza's standards. LOL. The Nazis never had a propaganda group as good as La Raza.

The confusion comes because of National Council of La Raza, a moderate, bipartisan group which generally works to improve conditions for Latino Americans, having a similar name to the much smaller La Raza Unida, who are extremist Aztlanist whack-jobs.

One doesn't have to agree with the views of NCLR, but they are pretty mainstream in their views, whereas La Raza Unida really are nutters who hold some pretty reprehensible views.

Sotomayor is a Hispanic white so if she was anti-white she'd be against herself. As for Obama - there are many legitimate criticisms that can be made of him but prejudice is not one of them.

Trinity United Church of Christ was not and is not a Black supremacist church. In fact it is the largest congregation in an overwhelmingly white denomination (94%+). A congregation that donates hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to support their fellow white members of the denomination.

Shame how drastically this racist president is changing our country.

Agreed on all counts. The hussein obamabaggers keep their head in the sand or just get their daily dose of lame stream news so they don't know any different. The libs would be up in arms if there was an all white org. Unfortunately the only ones that do exist are the racist types so they would never gain much support.

How can someone with European ancestry be "racist" against part of what makes them who they are? Obama isn't "all" of any ethnicity. It's ridiculous to assert that he could be "racist" that would mean he denies what makes him "him". Obama and Sotomayor are SOCIALISTS. And what do socialists preoccupy themselves with? Being the great "equalizers". I think they are motivated to "level" what they think have been injustices and bias against certain groups where preference was given in the past.

They're socialists.
