"Everything for the La Razza, (translation: The Race), For those outside the race, nothing." (Not their official slogan)
Ahh, La Razza. What would be the outrage if some other organization or Newspaper proclaim themselves as "The Race" in English? But political correctness was never intended to be fair or right. |

So what you're saying is that you don't want any help going to AMERICAN CITIZENS of Hispanic descent? |

25 million over 3 years? I think it's safe to say there is more pork in the budget than you can shake a stick at. Much worse than this.
Viva La Raza! |

Why La Razza, the Race and not Mexican, Latino, Hispanic? Because La Razza calls to the blood and not to citizen. It says that mt race is more important to me than my country. It is like the Democrats that owe allegiance to the party over the Constitution and the Country. |

Folks let us get some perspective here.
My Tax dollars ? Sorry I dont pay taxes in the US, and even if I did it would be a lot less than 25 million dollars. Does anyone here pay that much ?. I will assume you meant to say 'OUR tax dollars', and were not deliberately trying to mislead anyone. That would mean that the taxed amount is distributed among the 50 to 100 million Americans who pay taxes. about $0.5 from each taxpayer. This means that "the Raza Development Fund" are to share the money with: "the Housing Assistance Council" and "the Housing Partnership Network (HPN) and its members" and "for other purposes". It is not specified how the total sum is to be divided between these agencies, but I would expect the Raza Development Fund to get less than half. Lets say 12.5 million. So now it is Somewhat less than $0.25 from each taxpayer. So now we are down to about 10 cent of your taxmoney each year. Brother can you spare a dime ?  In any case 12,5 million is rather too small an amount to really make a difference, it looks more like hook money (tempt the administrator to embezzle so that you, by threat of exposure, now have a handle on him by which you can direct his future activities). And of course the whole thing is microscopic compared to the $419.871 billion appropriated to military expenses in 2007. Using the corresponding calculations that comes to something like 10,000 dollars of your taxmoney each year. As for la Raza being an essentially racist organisation, is there any more reason for calling them racist than there is for labeling fx Chinatown or Harlem as racist enclaves ? regards JakobA "Good is better than bad cause its nicer" Mammy Yokum (as related by Al Capp) |
