La Raza Revamps Whine

http://wvwnews.net/story.php?id=311  group hopes to retool “white guilt” weapons

The National Council of La Raza (“The Race”) is attempting to revive argument killing “white guilt” by launching a new campaign, “We Can Stop the Hate,” which brands those who question the massive illegal alien invasion from Mexico as “haters.” La Raza President Janet Murguia managed to work the buzzword “hate” twice into just one sentence: “Hate groups and extremists have taken over the immigration debate in an unprecedented wave of hate.”

While La Raza is attempting to replicate similar “white guilt” efforts that have proved successful for other special interests, the sheer http://wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2878 of illegals is likely to prevent much sympathy being generated in America outside of corporate agenda groups already on La Raza’s side.

La Raza should also consider dismissing their PR person: The name of the “We Can Stop the Hate” campaign is reminiscent of the infamous “¡Sí, Se Puede!” (“Yes, We Can!”) series of marches nationwide that were a public relations bomb. The sight of millions of illegal aliens waving flags from Latin America and demanding special rights infuriated Americans and was the single greatest factor in generating the grassroots campaigns that sank subsequent amnesty plans and set the “immigrant rights” movement back. La Raza seems to object to some of the most effective language coming from the patriotic side of the issue, especially the image of an “http://wvwnews.net/story.php?id=1705," which the flood of illegal aliens clearly is.

While censorship is perfectly acceptable in Latin American political culture (as well as violence), in America people are protected by the First Amdendment, something that racist groups, and their corporate sponsors, clearly find to be unsettling.
