28. So the Montgomery Bus Boycott was just a feel good for blacks?

Boycotts work. You just don't know they work because corporations don't admit they work.


McDonalds boycott in the 80 eliminated styro-shells to wrap burgers, but of course McD's said the boycott had no effect on their decision, even though they'd delayed doing the right thing for Decades and caved in 4 months into the boycott.


Do you recall that Nestlie's was selling infected baby formula to the third world in the 70's ? Do you recall the Boycott?

No, because Nestlie's stopped the practice and refuses to admit they ever did it.



Did you ever learn the term DOLLAR VOTE in school?
