Yesterday 6:36pm g 33,592L 149 Ha Ha, Did the Tea Party Boycott Ebony Magazine? (No.) Early Wednesday afternoon, the Twitter account of Ebony magazine raised an alarm about a distressing new campaign targeting the magazine: The remark referred to a swirl of unsubstantiated rumors, mostly on Twitter, that a group of Tea Party members had vowed to boycott Ebony for its decision to feature people wearing hoodies on four different editions of its September issue — a response to the July acquittal of George Zimmerman for shooting and killing Trayvon Martin. Which is mildly amusing inasmuch as a mass exodus of Ebony's Tea Party audience is unlikely to substantially affect the magazine's bottom line. Sadly, it was immediately clear that no discernible group of Tea Partiers had actually vowed to join the notional boycott. So where did these rumors come from?The first mention of any proposed boycott of Ebony (limited to today) appeared in a single comment on Breitbart.com. A few hours later, this was passed off with complete credulity by U.S. News & World Report. But the very first mention of some sort of organized boycott appeared on the Twitter account of a Tom Head, a freelance writer living in Jackson, Mississippi:QuoteTom Head, Ph.D. @_tomhead Heh. Tea Party lynching apologists now threaten to boycott @EBONYMag over the Trayvon cover, as if any of them would have subscribed anyway.1:57 PM - 7 Aug 2013 78 Retweets 24 favoritesWhen asked, Head refused to explain where he saw these "Tea Party lynching apologists" (note: plural) threatening to boycott Ebony.So. A few lessons: 1) THERE WAS NO BOYCOTT. 2) Twitter is terrible. (Follow me on Twitter.)

I'll be boycotting Ebony.And along with them: Honky, Browny, Chinky and Reddy.
You gotta be pretty stupid when 75% of your intended audience can't read.

Omnith (23 posts) 41. Hoodies have groan on me over the last couple of years. Mainly due to my wife who loves them, so I started to were them more often.
I subscribe to "White Hispanic Weekly". This weeks cover story is "Hoodies In The Crosshairs".
I refuse to watch anything on BET. Where is WET ? The possibilities are endless.
I thought that was CBS.
nah, WET is/was honey boo boo.
I heard they dropped the cursive edition a few years back.
If it makes them feel better, I'll boycott that racist rag. You gotta be pretty stupid when 75% of your intended audience can't read.

About 20 years ago I had a coworker that mentioned a coworker was always reading Ebony magazine when she should be doing her job. He said "what would happen if I was reading a magazine called Ivory."
