MEChA

[KSigMason]

Things seemed to have slowed down with the holidays. Here is an article I wrote this last Semester and posted it on the old PU. The one thing that has changed is that I don't work at the SUB anymore.



MEChA

Most of you don’t know that I work at the Information Desk of our University’s Student Union Building, or commonly known as the SUB. The Desk is in the main area of the SUB so I see a lot of things: strange people, homeless people, the different club booths, and everyday college events.

Today when I was working I looked across the way and saw a booth with two banners; one behind the club members and another on the table in front of them. The one in front said “MEChA”, but I didn’t know what that was. I got a good idea though when I looked at the sign behind the members standing at the booth. That banner had “Columbus Day” crossed out with “Indigenous People’s Day” below it.

I laughed at myself when I took a better look at the one member sitting there. He was a very white young hippy with a nice full beard. He was wearing a very laughable shirt also. It was a “N.O.T. (No Oppression Tolerated) on our Campus T-Shirt.

"NOT on our Campus" came around when a gay college student, and a member of a Greek Frat, said he had been beat up by another Frat, many said it was Kappa Sigma (my fraternity). Don’t get me wrong, he looked like he had been in a fight with a heavy-weight boxer. So the Student Government put together a rally to show support for this student and diversity. My Fraternity showed up to show our support against violence. I attended because I was a leader for the Pledge class and all I heard was how our campus was a breeding ground of hate, oppression, sexism, and prejudice. Yet, this was our first major attack in several years. I mean BSU is very quiet compared to other campuses in the nation, but this isn’t what you heard from the feminist, the young man who could barely speak English, and other various members of “cultural/ethnic” clubs. Some time later, it turns out that the gay student had beat himself and then reported it as an attack. He did face charges, but nonetheless, the damage was done. Money and time was wasted. But now back to MEChA.

I decided to look up MEChA on our Student Organization site and this is what I found

MEChA also known as Movimiento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlan ()

Description:

The purpose[s] of this organization shall be to: To increase unity among Raza (Race) at BSU and la Comunidad (community). To promote education among Chicanos for the betterment of our Gente (People). To promote and retain our Cultura (Culture) through special cultural events sponsored by M.E.Ch.A. To educate and encourage participation for Raza students in political policies, issues, and processes that concern them. To form a working relationship between la Comunidad and M.E.Ch.A of BSU. To recruit and retain Raza students to BSU. To provide a sense of familia amongst Mechistas at BSU.

Constitution:

ARTICLE III - Affiliation
Section 1: This organization shall operate according to the most current regulations and policies of the Idaho State Board of Education, Boise State University, and of the Constitution of the Associated Students of Boise State University, and in compliance with all local, state, and federal laws regardless of contradictory material that may be in this document.

I also searched on the net for MEChA and found this site: Scourge of MEChA (http://www.americanpatrol.com/MECHA/MEChAindex.html)

"Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada."
"Everything for the race. Everything outside the race, nothing."

From what I read on the site. MEChA seems to be just another Raza racist organization. I would just like to point out that their ideals are equal to those of the Nazis, KKK, and White Supremists.

I have decided to make this thread my College Liberal Club thread. Because of the events today and my strong stance on illegal immigration I have decided to make MEChA my thread starter club.

The former Lt. Governor as well as LA's Mayor are both part of that racist organization. And yes, you are correct. Their ideals are right in line with Nazi's and their ilk. Oh gosh, and they're democrats...what a shock - not.

[The Hawk]

Cruz Bustamante and Antonio Villargoisa are apart of that group?! Well, I really shouldn't be surprised. Villargoisa has always had that "Brown Pride" racist feel to me.

[Topiary Lady]

Hawk, when they had the big May Day / Illegal immigrant marches a couple of years ago, I actually got in the car and drove downtown so it could see it for myself, knowing that the MSM would only show so much.

It was a very hateful and racist crowd. There were a couple of groups that wore light brown military looking uniforms with sashes and arm bands and they did that Nazi salute thing as they marched through the streets here in my native city. Although I was not shocked to see this, because I knew they exhisted, it still was horrifying to witness such a thing up close.

The American Socialist Party had a little truck that was handing out pamphlets as were the Re-Conquista / MECha etc. groups. A lot of anti-white stuff was being passed around and it's not difficult to figure out that they had the same thing going (although much more quietly) for blacks.

Bustamante once gave a public speech where he referred to blacks as "======s" and then tried to back peddal claiming that he did not mean to say that word. He obviously uses the word or it would'nt have spilled from his mouth like that. He and his ilk are racists to the 'enth degree.

This is what burns me about so people many in the Democratic Party too. They claim to be for unity. They claim to be for the little guy. They claim to be the best friends a person of color could ever have - and it's all a big pack of lies.

I've mentioned before my disgust for the "victim mentality." It's probably my biggest pet peeve and it's what the Democrats as well as these MECha bastards are all about. It does nothing positive for our country. It only serves to spiritually enslave people who buy the load of garbage that says: "I can't make it on my own. I need someone else to think and do for me." And that is what not only MECha, but the Democratic Party is all about.

anything on what? A Response to your article? A comment about the group?Well, yeah. Anything. This place has been slow lately and like IHL said, why should conservatives go after each other when we have liberals to go after.

meh if a group wants to organize and show racial pride im ok with it. If the decide to be violent i.e (KKK) then im not to fond of them

however i disagree the are anything like nazi's

you can make the case that they are similar to the KKK but anything beyond that is a stretch

MEChA is an Hispanic separatist organization that encourages anti-American activities and civil disobedience. The radical members of MEChA who refer to themselves as "Mechistas," romanticize Mexican claims to the "lost Territories" of the Southwestern United States -- a Chicano country called Aztlan. In its national constitution, MEChA calls for self-determination by its members to liberate Aztlan. MEChA's national constitution starts out: "Chicano and Chicana students of Aztlán must take upon themselves the responsibilities to promote Chicanismo within the community, politicizing our Raza with an emphasis on indigenous consciousness to continue the struggle for the self-determination of the Chicano people for the purpose of liberating Aztlán."

This the first time I heard of MEChA, but it sounds like it also belongs with "La Voz de Aztlan". They are also anti-American and sympathize with Palestinians against Israel. Take a look at all these headlines or read the articles (http://www.aztlan.net/). There is one article in there that sympathizes with the women suicide bombers, calls them martyrs, and shows off their pictures.

I am Proud to be white. I've never made any secret of that. I don't hate other races or ideologies (Save Islam, but I didn't start that fire) . But when a group starts coming down on my race, they better watch out, because I'll be all too eager to show them WHY my ancestors sailed the world wide and spread Europe's culture to the farthest corners of the earth.

[Dr. Madd]

Best be careful there. Crews aboard Spanish sailing vessels had a very large quota of Muslims. After the Crusades they were told to leave or die. Becoming sailors seemed a pretty good option. So while your countrymen were sailing to the "farthest corners of the earth", so were theirs.

That May be, but in the New World, I don't recall any Mosques being built in Tenochitlan, or in St. Augustine.
There were no Mosques in Jamestown or in Roanoke or Plymouth. It was Churches first, then synagogues.

Chicanoism is racist and counter productive to what Hispanics and Latinos want to achieve. I would say that we would be better off without their kind.

Now the spanish are good enough to be considered white Europeans? Sorry it was the Spanish who set up the first lasting euro cities in the new world.

The Spanish are white. It is their descendants, mingled with Aztec blood and still smarting over the Mexican war that are the problem.
