Boycotts, Boycotts, Boycotts

Years ago there was a Black boycott in Chicago against the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, and at least one local Chicago television station. That boycott was supposed to have an effect on the White media there, to "send a message."

However, I talked to a Black newsstand owner in the neighborhood. He said his business dropped off because of that boycott.Black newsstand owners were suffering, not the White media, as a result of the boycott. If they wanted to boycott something, they should have boycotted the advertisers who was the lifeblood of the media.

For the first time in my life I thought, "am I actually smarter than those "Black leaders" who organized and supported that boycott?"
