In today's episode of The Black Lives Don't Matter Podcast, host Deron Harris tackles the controversial topic of the February 28th, 2025 "Economic Blackout" boycott. Harris examines why such boycotts often fall short of their intended goals and argues that unity within the Black community is crucial for meaningful progress. He explores the origins of this boycott, its aims, and its potential impact on major retailers and the economy.
Harris challenges listeners to consider whether one-day boycotts truly effect change or if they're merely symbolic gestures. He discusses alternative strategies for economic empowerment and community building that could lead to lasting improvements for Black Americans. The episode also touches on the broader context of ongoing social and political issues affecting the Black community in 2025, including corporate DEI rollbacks and government workforce reductions.
Join Deron as he offers a thought-provoking perspective on collective action, economic power, and the path forward for Black Americans in an increasingly complex social landscape.
