I kinda of doubt it really hit that hard.

[Still Thinking]

Yeah, that sounds more like the reaction you would get if it wasn't working. If it was hitting hard, you'd think that would argue in favor of keeping it in place.

If their supposed reason for cancelling it is that it's hurting black business people, why don't they just change it to a boycott of WHITE owned businesses in SC?

[Moose4]

It didn't. $7.5 billion in 2000 to $10.9 billion now. Yeah, some "boycott." The NAACP couldn't even keep black people out of the state except for Rev. Jackasson and the NCAA. Every Memorial Day there's 400,000 black motorcycle enthusiasts down in the Myrtle Beach area, and the boycott never slowed that Black Bike Week down one single bit.

The NAACP DID GET what they initially wanted--the flag taken off the Statehouse and out of the Statehouse chambers. After that, THEN they decided that having an Army of Northern Virginia battleflag flying at a monument to the Confederate war dead on the Statehouse grounds was "not acceptable." Rightfully, the vast majority of the state (both white and black) yawned at them and told them to find something else to do.

This is how you handle blowhard professional victims and race pimps like the NAALCP. You stand up to them.

Tourism increased, actually.

[wideawake]

I would imagine that African American business owners in the tourism sector received a disproportionate impact.
