Boycott Variety Wholesalers's stores/Art Pope's stores movement? [View all]

I don't understand why there isn't a big movement to boycott the variety stores own by Art Pope?

We need to him were it hurts: his wallet. He is using the money from the poor to work against their own interest.

Here are the chain stores own by Art Pope:
Roses, Maxway, Bargain Town, Bill's Dollar Store, Super 10, Super Dollar, Treasure Mart and Value Mart.

In locating its stores, Variety Wholesalers targets areas where the median household income is $40,000 or less and with a minimum 25 percent African-American population within five miles.

If African American and poor whites boycott Variety Wholesalers, Art Pope will sure feels it.
