 Boycott Watch received an email from a reader
with the attached scan of an article discussing a boycott, asking us "Why
didn't I read about this on Boycott Watch.com?" Being a good question, Boycott
Watch investigated the story and we believe the source is a racist publication
/ website called New Saxon, (newsaxon.org but we will not supply a link to
them) which calls itself "An online community for whites by whites" meaning
they are openly racist.
Examining the text of the
article reveals a few basic and glaring errors confirming it is not
journalistic, and that it is biased. For starters, the statistics do not make
sense since a strike will not reduce trash collection much if anything, yet the
article claims: "daily clean up and trash collection was down by 84%." The
article also claims "customers paid for purchases with real money, not
government debit cards or food stamps!" Besides for the exclamation point
indicating bias, it insinuates everyone all Hispanics live on government
subsidies which is blatantly false in every all communities.
Some may read the article as a joke, but upon close
examination the intent is clear. In response to our reader who forwarded us the
scan of the article, we are covering it thanks to you and the racist article
appears to be from an openly racist website.

Victoria,
Texas is a town about 80 miles west of Houston. Local Hispanic leaders there,
in opposition to pending Immigration Legislation, boycotted all Caucasian owned
business last month as a demonstration of their economic impact on the
community. The boycott was declared a success by the Hispanic community, noting
revenue was down in Caucasian businesses was down by 19 percent. Business owner
declared the boycott a success as well, pointing out that shoplifting was
reduced by 77%, money orders sent out of the country were down by 97%, and the
cost of daily clean up and trash collection was down by 84%. Shoppers reported
they could actually hear English being spoken throughout the community for the
first time in recent memory, and customers paid for purchases with real money,
not government debit cards or food stamps!
