Talk:Native Sons of the Golden West

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

While the Native Sons of the Golden West may have been "nativist" early in it's history, the organization has since opened membership to all native born Californians regardless of ethnicity or gender. It is clear that the author of this entry either has a biased view of the organization or is relying on very outdated sources. Doug (talk) 21:15, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

The section on the past activities clearly states it is using contemporansous sources, and that it was their past behavior. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 21:56, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree that the article on the NSGW uses the past tense while discussing the previous nativist behavior of the Native Sons, the over all tenor of the article leaves the casual reader with the impression that the modern NSGW is still racist and nativist. Furthermore, the "contemporaneous" source is a secondary source which quotes a statement that is clearly no longer supported by the NSGW nor it's sister organization the Native Daughters.Doug (talk) 21:01, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
