The bus boycott was very effective because the vast majority of riders were Black. When 75% of your customers hold the power, it's very powerful when they show solidarity and boycott. Though it should be remembered that this was a years long organizing strategy and was implemented at different times and different places with differences in outcome.

The grape boycott was implemented with a backdrop of 5 years of strikes.

National boycotts at this time in America are largely ineffective. The political atmosphere is extremely divided and reactionary, leading to situations where one side boycotting a product leads to the other side over purchasing that same product. There also is no labor movement, like the grape boycott, and thus no solidarity between industry. The point is to withhold profits, if you're not able to do that then a new strategy has to be considered.

Our generation is fixated on the politics of the 60s and incapable of ingenuity, forgetting that the political and economic backdrop of activism in 2020 doesnt in any way resemble our grandparents.

He was rightfully pretty upset. I think he was in shock, where we're from this isnt really normal discourse, and he was way out of his element.

My bf is a black man. Hes in a city hes not from originally and they're pretty different, highly liberal and elitist. Were not.

Anyways he questioned the blm March there. It didnt look like the one in my city. It wasnt fired up black people marching for their rights or for justice, it was white lgbt people flying lgbt flags under the blm banner. I think it's fine for black and white people to march together, great even, but they were only there for the lgbt part. And he asked why it looked more like an lgbt march than a blm March.

So he gets screamed at by some woman who is non binary and says the following: Black men are notoriously homophobic Black men treat black women bad Black men are sexist He is cis so he is therefore privileged She is non binary and has been historically more oppressed than anyone(yes really)

This woman was white, rich, and highly educated. She was so consumed by the cult of gender personality that she felt it was appropriate to scream at probably the only black man in the entire vicinity of a march for black lives with criticisms all based ON HIS RACE. In her warped worldview of privilege vs oppression she essentially turned into a woke kkk member, prejudging him based on a set of qualities that make black men bad.

I snapped then. I started reading more and it was all the same. "Straight black men are the white people of black people" etc etc. White women are not oppressed. Black people are not oppressed. No one is oppressed except for non binary and trans people with advanced degrees and lovely homes on the coast. It's literally just the same structure of authority as always with pretty words.

There was a great study done to see if there was still an outcome gap by race that had 20 million participants, all older millennials/young gen X. The survey studied their parents income/wealth and then compared it to theirs at roughly the same age. This a particularly good equality indicator because it tells you whether it's about class, you can judge everyone by the income they were born with and see if they did better,worse, or the same. Its social mobility.

Black and white women had no difference in outcome. The low income women, middle, and upper class women all ended up in the same spot. Black women actually came out a little bit ahead in income.

The men were a completely different story. There was a wide difference in outcomes, where black men earned significantly less and had a smaller chance of moving up from low income. Yet both were above women as a whole.

I'll admit at one point in my life I was on some misguided crusade against reddit myself. I'm older now and been involved in the left too long to not see how useless this is as a value. Only people who are wrong dont want people to see opposing views
