Counter-Boycott
Save the Confederate Flag!
Turn the NAACP's Tactics Against Them
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is intent on obliterating all signs of Southern Heritage. Leave no doubt in your mind that this is so, as one must look no further than their rejection of the compromise that would have removed the Confederate Battle Flag from the South Carolina statehouse dome, nominally the reason for the NAACP's original boycott. Were they satisfied? Not at all. Instead, they have continued their boycott, going so far as to say removal from a sovereign position was their goal all along. Apparently, “sovereign” can be defined as on public property anywhere.
What's the solution? Simple, launch a boycott against the NAACP. But since the NAACP is a non-profit organization, with no business of its own, we must look to the source of their funding. Fortunately, the internet and the sponsor’s own sense of accomplishment combine to make life easier for the budding boycotter. Witness this page. Here you will find contact information and other data, including in most cases web page links to the corporations’ own web sites detailing their involvement for all to see.
What to do with this information
The simplest tactic to take is to stop frequenting these businesses or refrain from buying these products. Telling the local barkeep that you don’t want a Bud Light because they support the destruction of your heritage is very satisfying. More advanced on the activism scale is jamming corporate mailboxes with E-mails, and phone lines with irate callers. But the most effective is a letter writing campaign. To do this best, you the concerned Southerner or interested party should buy some stationary and sit down to write a letter in your own, hopefully legible handwriting. Keep it short, to the point, and refrain from making threats of any kind. Tell who it may concern that because of their company's support for the NAACP and, by proxy, their attack on Southern heritage, you will no longer purchase products or services from them. If you are not a customer of theirs, a simple complaint letter will suffice.
If you come across companies not listed here, please send all the relevant information (Company Name and the offending web page) to the editor using this link.
A Special Note
As I was putting up this information, I made trips several times to the NAACP website. Early in the week of 28thMay 2000, there existed a link to the financial statements of the organization, but it did not work. Sometime during the week, the whole layout of the website changed, and I have not been able to find any link whatsoever that might detail just who is providing funds and where those funds are spent. Perhaps anti-boycott action is already being taken by others, and that information proved damaging. Whatever the case, I would expect that once pro-flag people start using this information to exert their own pressure, some of these links will start to disappear, so if you notice some of them no long working, E-mail us at the address given above.
