Thanks for sharing the link. I just finished reading it. I have thought about the costs of a long-term systematic boycott of the U.S. Economic system. If such a boycott were possible it would hurt all of us. The sad reality is that economic justice or vengeance is the only non physical weapon the minority community has.

Thanks Eric. I enjoyed your piece today. We have much to learn from the civil rights movement of the 60's. I will turn 40 next year and realize it's the job of my generation to pass as much of that wisdom on, but first we must learn before we can effectively serve. It means a lot to know that someone that I've read for the past 18 or so months has read my work. I salute you.

Interesting possibility.

Interesting possibility. Another consideration would be to put our massive monetary clout into purchasing from Black or minority owned businesses. A template for this was provide in ""Our Black Year". A middle-class family spent a year buying only from minority owned business. Everything from cereal and milk to auto repair was produced or provided by Black owned business. At some point the model might be incorporated into your plan.

Danny,

I love this article. I'm going to promote your boycott proposal in an upcoming article. I'll give your credit, of course.
