First of all, he wasn't president. He was a member when he was a college student along with just about every other Hispanic at the school.
The organization was founded in the 60s and contained some radical elements, but so did most organizations at the time. It's a stretch by even right-wing propaganda standards to compare this organization to the KKK.
The organization that exists today contains none of those elements and Villaraigosa has in fact renounced any such elements that may have existed.
Don't believe everything you read on the internet. Especially when it's a right-wing propaganda site.
