Lets face it. government, corporations, the 1%, they are all inter-twinned, the fate of the black community and the country as a whole mostly lays in the offices of disconnected white men.
Its no conspiracy, no secret, it’s on so many levels pure truth and fact.
BUT what do we do about it? Almost nothing, because our lives also rest on these companies. I write this post on an intel Apple Mac, drinking coffee probably produced by a mega-corp, and after I am finished it will be shared on Facebook.
Already I have listed a few corps that we NEED to start rolling down our funding for or just OUTRIGHT BOYCOTT. The process is easy in theory but in practise we fail so often.
The documentary on Netflix titled 13TH has to be watched. It’s exposing something we all know and putting in our faces.
Put simply, there are many companies that are responsible for passing laws to use slave workers. These are slaves because they are imprisoned workers, they take away jobs from free citizens and often the system is swiping up people to create these workers (ever wonder why so many black men are in prison, maybe it’s because they make great workers and almost for free!).
Dominique Brown posted to Facebook (http://bit.ly/2enpUPB):
All of these companies use prisoners to make their goods instead of hiring people. Your jobs aren’t being lost to immigrants.. they are being lost to immigrants being arrested and poor people being arrested who can’t afford proper legal council and take plea deals.
Being tough on crime is a Trojan horse to steal your job.
The jobs aren’t going off shore they are going to men and women in orange jumpsuits.

Shiiiiitttt, that’s a lot of companies we all use day-to-day. Learning to live without them isn’t easy in one gulp. BUT we need to start the process, one at a time, cut them out, find a way around using them.
Buy used computers or look to strengthen brands straying away from Intel (AMD chips exist), stop buying Coca Cola and Nestle products where possible.
Facebook: This is so tricky! Urban Intellectuals gets to it’s audience with facebook! However we are working HARD to make our own free speech platform for the black and woke community, this platform can be found by going to UrbanIntellectuals.com/Social. BUT until that’s rocking and rolling we can’t fully peel away.
What ways are you boycotting these companies and how can we make a movement to seriously impact them?
