Fox News - Won't feel the boycott from us, because we're not watching them anyway. It would be like boycotting a local store, you've never entered. I'm not sure the store owner would care. Not to mention, here lately, I feel like I need to boycott them all. None of them care what I think.
Disney World - I'm not sure people would get the correlation. But, I feel ya on that one.
The NRA - Yes. We should tell all 4 black people to leave.
Abercrombie and Fitch - There are black people who still do business with them?
Cristal - I don't know this company.
Madea - I actually take a different approach with the Madea movies. I think because we have so few black producers and screenwriters, etc...we tend to expect them to serve every purpose. So, when one makes a stupid movie or does something that we don't appreciate or really feels supports the black community positively, we attempt to kill 'em. I think we should instead fund more screenwriters and producers, so that we get more diversity. We want more, not less. If you think about it, when was the last time a white producer or writer was boycotted for not representing the white community well.
Bleaching Covers - I agree.
College Sports - Athletes do get paid. They get scholarships that cover tuition, room & board, etc of varying levels. It's the community that supports college sports that have allowed this unbalance to occur. We don't celebrate academics or the band in the same way. So, until we pay the band, and until we pay the other students...nope, I'm not really in the camp that athletes should get paid. To my mind, that would be just one more example of turning college athletes into "gods".
The idea is to get a scholarship to pay for college --- the college prepares you for a job. The idea of the band... get a scholarship to pay for college --- the college prepares you for a job. Work study, academic scholarships, etc. Now, some scholarships suck, that's true. So offer better scholarships.
Not to mention, larger colleges differ greatly from smaller colleges...would this new rule apply to all colleges?
