In reply to the discussion: How can we get a movement going to boycott Texas? [View all]Tommy Carcetti
(43,085 posts)12. Vague, overbroad boycotts against entire geographic regions rarely work.
The Montgomery bus boycott worked because it was focused on a specific asseti.e. the bus system of Montgomery, Alabamafor a specific reasoni.e. segregatory policies.
A general boycott of an entire state is far less focused and can backfire on the people youre claiming to be supporting.

Calls for massive boycotts which have no chance of coming to pass are simply venting.
