In 1990, Miami's Tourism Industry was Boycotted by Blacks for 3 years

The Thousand-Day Boycott

The boycott, with Ceresta Smith's full support, was launched. It lasted 1,000 days and the black visitors stayed away. According to several estimates, it cost the region somewhere between $20 million and $50 million. And it ended with a comprehensive agreement to include blacks as full partners at the tourism table. There were 20 points in the pact and they covered everything from hiring to management opportunities to groundwork for black development and ownership of tourist hotels.

Problem is Blacks in America are the only nationality on the planet that is into that "We Are The World" "Kumbaya" nonsense. Name one other nationality that looks out for others besides their own.
