This is not Mexico and we the American people have a right to know and approve or disapprove of what is being done with our tax dollars as well as demand that racists groups such of LaRaza not receive any of them.

Where do you get your information?
National Council of La Raza is in deed "people". John is correct. What you translate from English to Spanish is not always the correct meaning. Futhermore, why would Sotomayor be interested in an organization specifically for Mexico when she is Puerto Rican? The organization is not for Mexicans, nor for Mexico. It is for Hispanics (a definition given to us by the US). The organization was not founded by the guy you mentioned. It was founded by Dr. Julian Samora, Hernan Gallegos and Dr. Ernesto Galarza.
NCLR is indeed the same as NAACP. Not to be confused with LRUP.
Quote:
La Raza, founded in 1968 by Raul Yzaguirre, takes its name from “La Raza Cosmica,” a phrase coined by Mexican scholar Jose Vasconcelos. The English translation, and the first definition found in Spanish/English dictionaries, for “la raza” is “the race.” Contrary to La Raza’s contention that the phrase means “the people,” or “the community,” the Spanish for those phrases are “la gente,” and “la comunidad.”
In 2005, La Raza received $15.2 million in federal grant money for charter schools and get-out-the-vote campaigns and in 2006 got another $4 million in congressional earmarks for housing reform. The organization’s financial statements for 2008 show that it received another $5.1 million in federal grants, and holds assets worth $97.4 million. La Raza has received more than $30 million from the federal government since 1996.
The Council of La Raza arranged to have its voice included in congressional hearings by House and Senate leaders and garnered an extra $4 million in federal tax funds earmarked by an anonymous senator in 2007 while continuing to lobby for open borders, driver’s licenses for illegals, and amnesty leading to citizenship for all illegal immigrants in the country.

I really dont care if people keep preaching it is a racist organization. I really dont see the difference between NCLR and NAACP.
