black athletes won't care until something extremely racist violent happens to their family etc..blood would have to be shed for it to be any type issue where players are boycotting the SEC by the masses
Black athletes should boycott the SEC?

It would help if white athletes did.

It's crazy to me how so many of you are trying to lay this burden on 17-19 year olds when so many grown folks won't even go vote. Or how many black grown folks ignored what happened to Kaepernick and still watch NFL games. Or how black folks still spend money with Walmart, Amazon, Apple, Google, Aldi, Bank of America, Coca Cola, Disney, Ford, IBM and Lowe's. Or how many still use Facebook/Instagram even though Meta did the same. Or Paramount, Pepsi, Toyota, United Healthcare, Victoria's Secrets or Warner Bros. All companies that have helped contribute to higher layoffs for black folks and weakening black spending power.
Oh nah nah nah though, that's not as big of a deal as the top 100 black athletes choosing HBCU's or PWI's in blue states. I'm sorry but, the logic on this is just ridiculous. That whole boycott the NFL thing didn't even last a whole season. Target paid of Jamal Bryant and all of a sudden, shopping at Target is now acceptable too. This is why it's so hard for people to take these "movements" seriously. Because so many of them aren't based in anything that makes sense to begin with, just a quick thought with no long term strategy.

Yes, a man that was the best boxer in the world that was already being paid by.....people that look like who? He used his platform and still made his money, from THEM. He didn't refuse to box unless it was a black promoter or refuse to fight in red states. Nah, because he definitely had fights in Kentucky, Florida and Georgia. He also fought in racist ass UK, Switzerland, Germany and Ireland... in front of white ticket buyers. So you're using him as an example, and he still got his money the same way as these black kids going to PWI's when it's all said and done. I mean, if we're actually being real. Pretty sure his trainer was white too.
The mere fact that they do not stand with their colored teammates should tell the black dummies how THEY, them, euro-anglos actually care about them and their culture.
Just dumb as a box of rocks and I don't fuck with them, at all. Peculiar in that some of them come near me to mess with me though.

I don't spend at any of the stores you named. I make the sacrifice. I don't see it as a burden being pawned off on young athletes. This affects them too. They are fighting for their future. NIL will not save them.

They took his livelihood from him for almost 3 years. Stripped him of his titles. He had to fight outside the US to make a living. Boxing needed him...that is the only reason he was allowed to box again in the US. Get your history straight.

That part.
Much of the reason for the disconnect between the older and newer generations is due to the lack of regard for historical context by the younger.

The youngers are severely disconnected with their new programming... by them, those, euro-anglo-infused leadership and WEAK, remarkably ignorant and distant lack of BLACK leadership.That part.

what some failed to realize when we integrated and the kids who benefited from integration - what type of history was taught in those schools in the 80s and 90s? A very watered-down version so feelings wont get hurt
however, the average white person was taught their history elsewhere and holds on to it and will defend theirs regardless - we were told to stay quiet and conform and basically systematically erase history from our minds - that's why we're so damn inclusive now

Who paid him? Let's not skip around what I said.

And realistically, what percent of black folks do you think do this? I'd bet money there's people in this very topic that still spend money with these places. Hell, you can go to any Target or Walmart in any black area of Atlanta and it'll be packed to the walls. Walmart's business didn't fall off whatsoever. I take it you don't watch pro sports either? I think what some of you don't realize is the fact that the overwhelming majority of black folks do not care enough. Again, we all had the option to show up and voice our opinions at the polls a couple of weeks ago, which I did. But over 70% of us... did not. That's just the reality and there's really no talking around it.
