The problem is the businesses aren't blatantly biased or racist. The new boycott isn't against a particular company. It is about supporting good businesses that are black owned. Black dollars are courted but a suitable replacement isn't available if there was a boycott. We don't own an uber or cab company. We don't have a national magazine or periodical to advertise in. We don't own a national grocery chain. We have been thoroughly wiped out of any financial system of importance. We have no black hedge funds or investment firms. We don't utilize black banks. There is literally nothing to boycott or use in lieu of. The best we can do is get blacks to stop killing each other and begin tackling the financial aspect on a local scale. If there is a great black restaurant in your city support that place. If there is a black owned theater support that place. I don't eat at chain restaurants but all black people own in Memphis are wing or rib joints. We have nothing to support.

IMO, West and Dyson are like a pair of divas ridiculing each other’s plastic surgery. Their feud has been reduced to a sideshow, and doesn’t even reach the level of rivals vying for the Alpha Male status because neither one of them wields any power other than an ability to polarize their black social media audience. Meanwhile, President Obama is able to remain above the fray, probably amused by how 2 of his most relentless critics are neutralizing each other. As an aside, one of Obama most influential staffers is the person holding the title of Senior White House Adviser, a woman by the name of Valerie Jarrett, someone who dates back to his and Michelle’s grass root Chicago days. She and Michelle are long time BFFs and both rumored to be super bitches who throw their weight around. I suspect they provide sounding boards for the positions Obama takes and when it came to racism, they apparently decided a moderate stance was the most practical one. I also wouldn’t be suprised if they were whispering in Barack’s ear telling him to ignore West and Dyson as well as Tavis Smiley, relegating the 3 stooges to the category of ego-centrics who are jealous of the President. As for the poor showing of black entrepreneurship, white people aren't united either. They are very competitive and treacherous in dealing with one another and, as group are in the same boat as Blacks when it comes to being up against the big conglomerates. Any progress they make is a result of an innate advantage. They have white skin. Ya think?
