You Can’t Boycott Something You’ve Never Purchased

These are the variant covers for the September issue of EBONY Magazine.

As magnificent as you or I may find these to be, apparently there are those who are more enraged by this cover than the cover of the recent issue of Rolling Stone that featured the surviving Boston Bomber.

Conservatives are now threatening to boycott EBONY Magazine, which leads me to believe that they don’t know how a boycott works. Because if you were never buying a product to begin with, you can’t boycott it. And if you expect me to believe Joe Sixpack Teabagger has been buying EBONY, I’ll ask you for a receipt.

Coincidentally, nearly every post I’ve made or am going to make today concerns racism. I didn’t plan it, but this is America.
