Racism is still a part of both Republicans and Democrats, although it tends to come up more on the Republican side of politics.
The davis comment is easily debatable as to weather it is Racism or just plain Attitude?
There is no proof, it is speculation.
Quote: It has been revealed that not only is the Lt. Governor a Mexican supremacist, however the current governor shares the same qualities as well.
Can you prove Bustamante is a Mexican supremacist?
How about Davis sharing the same qualities?
Where did you hear this?
FOX NEWS?
25 years ago, Bustamante was part of a student organization Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztl?n (MEChA).
Bill O'Rlly used his "No Spin Zone" to do a spin on MEChA that was straight out of the far right's playbook. According to O'Rlly, MEChA was a racist and violent organization that hated the United States and advocated the ceding of the Southwest back to Mexico.
When student activists created the MEChA organization in April of 1969 at a conference at the University of California, Santa Barbara, it was in the context of educational reform. Numerous Chicano student organizations had already appeared as part of an emerging political consciousness among Mexican youth in the United States. Issues of access to higher education, racism, sexism, economic injustice, Cesar Chavez and the farm workers's struggle, and the war in South Asia contributed to the increase in activism.
Educational reformers decided that MEChA could serve to consolidate the diverse student groups under one banner. Today, former mechistas include elected officials, teachers, attorneys, doctors, publishers of business magazines, and heads of corporations. Far from bng exclusionary and racist, MEChA chapters have been at the forefront of establishing coalitions with other ethnic groups (including white folks) on college and high school campuses across the country.
Now, I'm sure that within this group of MEChA there are some racist and violent members.
Does that mean that Bustamante is a Mexican supremacist?
Does it mean that all Republicans are Racist when Senator Trent Lott issued a statement regarding his racist commendation of Strom Thurmond's segregationist politics?
You need to do a little more research into the issues before you go and spew your ridiculous charges in an attempt to undermine Bustamante and influence a democratic election with distortion and innuendo.
