First, 14 pages of this topic is fantastic. I am not going through all 14 and what I am about to write may be said already so forgive me if its repeated.Anyway, one weapon 'we' have not used in the fight but was threatened once or twice is sports.America uses a lot of its 'soft power'. Since 1936 the Olympics has been used as a political tool. It's used as a proxy for war and for 'soft power' by the old USSR, now Russia and China against the USA and visa versa.Black Americans are well over represented given the population. Boycotting companies and not buying doesn't work. But you know what will send a huge message and will help immensely? If Blacks boycotted the US Olympics teams as well as any other international sporting event (US soccer team for the World Cup, etc).It almost happened in 1968 and the US were 'scurred AF'. Our athletes might do it and the NBA players were going to walk out until Obama talked them out of it.How it would look internationally embarrassing America would go a great way in the struggle. Imagine a white 100, 200, 400 and not even getting near the finals with white boys? The boxing competition zero medals. The basketball team getting beat badly.
