Political Boycott

By Lucius Gantt

A "boycott" is the act of voluntarily and intentionally refusing to buy, use, or deal with a product, person, organization, country, or business.

Boycotts were once a useful tool in the civil rights movement. Stores, restaurants, buses, and other businesses felt an economic hit when Black Americans refused to spend money with targeted companies.

Today, perhaps Blacks living in the United States should target the companies that finance economic and political racism.

Well, Target changed some of it's ways when Blacks decided not to shop there after the retail giant decided to end it's affirmative action and diversity efforts.

Guess who is financing the campaigns of America's most racially conservative political candidates?

The billionaires that own companies like Amazon, Space X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Open AI, and others, are not hesitating to put millions of dollars into any activity requested by America's separatist president.

Want to gerrymander as many Congressional districts possible to eliminate as many seats as possible that are held by Black Caucus members?

How about financing a devilish ballroom where moonshine can flow like water and where ku klux klansmen and neo-nazis can buck dance to Nicki Minaj rap songs? Wealthy Americans can pay for that too.

I believe, corporate greed is fueling desires to finance anything and everything that pleases Donald Trump!

Who will organize a political boycott? History has shown that the most important and most effective economic protests were started on the streetsand later compromised in the suites.

For example, Martin Luther King's greatest moment may have been his address at the march on Washington. But King didn't start that march, he and other "leaders" took the event over after it was organized in Mississippi shanty towns after Black people in the South decided they had had enough!

Blacks love social media but social media does not love you, or hire you.

Facebook, a tier one contributor to programs and efforts desired by white supremacists, tried to ban me and TGR from the platform because I mentioned The Atlanta Crackers. If you don't know, the "Crackers" were a minor league baseball team in Atlanta named by the team's white owners.

The point I'm trying to make is the billionaire businesses that we love, has little love for us and other Americans currently struggling to pay bills, buy gas, afford housing, and so forth.

Perhaps, if voters threaten political boycotts, perhaps wealthy Americans will reconsider financing projects for wannabe dictators.

One last thing, if Black candidates seeking political office refuse to do business with other Blacks, stop giving them money too.

We have to live together and work together.
