Probably not? From you and your friends on the other forum then I will take that as a compliment!

Ill- informed? I could point the mirror right back at you in that regard.

Demolish what argument? We are yet to debate anything on here so stop being passive aggressive.

You might be surprised to hear that I am not comfortable with this. As a minimum it's counter productive. At worse it is racist.
I can completely understand activists wanting to use their organisation to promote business in communities, but in reality this will go nowhere.

It makes good sensationalist headlines, but that's about it.
I cannot imagine the good folk in Atlanta abandoning their Malls (being the most integrated City I have been to in)

Spent quite a bit of time there.
They elected a civil rights activist as Mayor in 1982, the first black Mayor, Andrew Young, of a major American city I believe. I was living in the States at the time and I recall him being re-elected by a substantial majority as his term was deemed a success by all.
If you want to witness non integration, go up the road to Charlottesville, Virginia. That's the place where Trump's neo Nazi's supporters met under the banner of "Unite the Right" in 2017.

Obviously I am biased because I volunteered with the Dems when I lived in the States. I don't accept your characterisations, the big issue, still, in the States is making good the wrongs of the past.
All parties and groups struggle with this, except Trump supporters who recognise no wrongs and often lament the passing of the "past".

I lived through several cack handed attempts to address this in the area I lived in.

Interesting article in the papers today about some gay black actor in the states paid 2 guys to beat him up and shout pro-Trump propaganda whilst they were doing it. They put a noose around his neck to make it look like a KKK White Supremacy stunt. He reported it and of course all the American Liberal Woke agitators made the most of it.

The Police investigated it and the story unravelled and it seems our hero did it to force his studio to give him a pay rise and to damage the Republican Party. Funnily enough this hasn’t been mentioned on Asschat, but I would be interested to hear Oldies take on this.

Feel free to believe that.
I will always fervently disagree with your "laissez-faire" response to social and economic inequality.
That is not to ignore that policies brought to address don't always get this right. But to do nothing is not an option, in my opinion.
I will give you an example from my (now infamous😂) "lived experience".

In the 80s the State I lived in had a rapidly expanding population, driven by internal and external migration. What it didn't have was the infrastructure to support this growth. There was no State income tax and sales tax was 2%.

The Dems in my county pushed hard for a bond to be issued to fund the much needed new school infrastructure. The free market absolutists resisted and the State Government pushed back, not liking the political optics. We (I worked on canvassing) manage to secure a one off referendum, won it, funding was secured and the debt paid back by hypothecation of Real Estate taxes (increase).

But more than that, there was a dreadful failing High School in the next town. 99% black kids whose only route to tertiary education was sport.
As part of this process it was turned into a "Magnet School" specialising in Maths and Science. Kids with talent in those areas were sent there and kids from that school were sent to our local High School which was 70% white.

A bit of economic redistribution and social interference to right a wrong.

That never happens under laissez-faire ideology, does it.

But the left wing media milked it for all it was worth, then fell silent when the truth emerged.

There's a danger here, and one we all have a responsibility to resist, and it emanates from the left, it's already taking root in our media, universities etc.
