Thread: Ford Motor Co - More Reason to Boycott Them

We all know that Ford is one of La Raza's biggest funders, and HEADS our list of companies to BOYCOTT, but even I was shocked just now to see a commercial on Univision by Ford Motor Company. The Commercial is in Spanish, but at one point the "customer" speaks English. In English He says, "I could speak to him (i.e. the Ford Dealer) in HIS language"....then he completes the sentence in Spanish saying.."but he (the dealer) prefers to speak MINE!"

NEVER BUY ANOTHER "FIX OR REPAIR DAILY" VEHICLE...NEW OR USED!

Never fear, I won't. But keep in mind, General Motors is also a very big sponsor of La Raza!! No Ford, No GM Either. It's only fair.

I haven't seen Chrysler listed on their list yet, so that would be a safe bet. The only other alternative I think, is to support Germany or Japan. But then you are sending our money out of the borders.

So Chrysler, for the time being, looks like the only right choice if one wants to remove money from La Raza and their pet project of Aztlan while still supporting the U.S. Economy.

Heaven forbid though, I never really did like Chrysler products. Oh well. Something has to give somewhere.

Oh man! I forgot to look at those other supporter categories. I went directly to their "Corporate INSTITUTIONAL sponsors" who have provided multi-year, multi-million dollar committments to La Raza. I recall I wanted to pay another visit to their site to look at those other "sponsor categories" but never made it back there.

I guess the only way to NOT fund La Raza is to boycott the entire U.S. economy for a while. But in the end, we'd have killed ourselves off as well.

So now it appears no matter how many companies are boycotted, dollars are flowing continually no matter what.

Therefore, the boycott method is now completely and utterly useless and counter-productive.

Next? Next!!

your gonna hate me for this but i know the guy who approved that ad... he's one of my good friends and a legal immigrant from S. America

Ah man Starbucks made that list... That stinks I am going to miss my foo foo coffee drinks.

Honda may send money back to japan, but they do have assembly plants here, so they are giving jobs to Americans.

Great I looked at the list, and Honda is on there along with Allstate, and some other companies that I do business with....

That is very disapointing.

Thanks Josh for the list as I will be buying a car in the next few months, now I will have to look harder for a vehicle that is not on this list. Will also advise all I know not to support these companies.
