Nah fam you always bring money up cuz thats your comfort zone, you crutch so to speak i kknow you are more than your money but you value that greatly @2stepz_ahead
Colin Kaepernick refuses “to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people”...
I have a real question tho...
back in the day it was easy to boycott businesses that don't have your peoples best interests in mind and let them feel the burn of not getting black dollars... my question is... how do we adapt that strategy???
I watched yesterday and I saw commercials for T-Mobile, headache medicine, insurance companies, beers... how the fuck do we navigate the terrain where you boycott one company thats owned by another company that supports the very same fuckery.
Hate to say it but I don't see muhfuckas on some "yeah... t-mobile is one of the NFL's biggest sponsors.. fuck them ima switch carriers!... I aint buying Excedrin no more... and fuck this noise... I'm switching my car insurance... and while i'm at it... I aint drinking this shitty beer anymore either!"

Seems like there's something else you'd like to say. Cut to the chase. What's your point?
As far as certain main utilities are concerned, phones, gas, electricity etc it's difficult to boycott as many of these are necessities. However, alcohol clothing, even certain brands of cars can be boycotted. I simply say research the company you are doing business with and make sure that their public stance aligns with yours.

Not really....I was just trying to figure out how folks could adapt accordingly on the boycott tip...
Ur absolutely right about main utilities being difficult... I was just looking for realistic solutions on how to effectively boycott while navigating companies owned by companies owned by companies.. It's so convoluted some folks might actively be boycotting while still patronizing the parent company without knowing it.
The "making a statement" is all well and good... Taking a stance is good.. but like it's been said in this thread countless times....the only language these folks understand is when you hit they pockets... I'm just trying to see what's the best way to do so

I don't think they understand that either. There are many business that do not value the Black dollar. That's why advertisement and marketing is still overwhelming geared to toward whites.
It doesn't matter what they understand. Blacks need to understand that whites as a whole are not our friends, adopting their culture and mores is toxic. We need to stand on our own, have some morals and pride in our own. We can stand in solidarity with whites who are willing to tell the truth about white supremacy and make an effort to show they genuinely support Black interests\issues.

right....when they speak about firing.....thats fukkin with peoples money.
thats why i brought it up.
it has nothing to do with me.
im speaking more on....we need to take their power away.
white people understand money...they same way they can threaten the athletes with it....they need to secure themselves so they wont have that power over them.
i do value money a bit less than the next man.....honestly i dont put much value in it at all but i understand its needed for certain things. but thats another story.
