I agree they do not have a responsibility to us. And agree that you would hope they would feel one to themselves, their mamas, their children and their people. But, the fact they are driven by the dollar is the reason a boycott may be the only thing that would get their attention. If we were to harass their advertisers, actually STOP spenidng our money with them and with BET and let them FEEL our convictions financially instead of just paying us lip service theyy might take us more seriously. In business it is often not about black or white but green so you have to hit them in the pocket to have an impact.
