When it comes to moronic political stunts, the NAACP\u2019s call for a black boycott of athletic programs at southern universities is hard to beat. \u00a0<\/p>\n

After all, the group\u2019s \u201cOut of Bounds\u201d campaign, backed by the Congressional Black Caucus, looks primed to harm the very people it claims to champion: black teen athletes.<\/p>\n

The campaign asks these teens \u2014 as well as families, fans, alumni and others \u2014 to stay away from public universities in southern states that are (purportedly) weakening black voting rights.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t fund them, attend them, take part in their athletic programs, etc.<\/p>\n

Why? The states\u2019 redistricting plans after the Supreme Court limited the creation of racially gerrymandered districts.<\/p>\n

The Black Caucus, NAACP and other allies pretend<\/em> the redistricting hurts minority voting rights, but the real gripe is that it\u2019ll mean fewer Democrats in the House. <\/p>\n

Set aside the debate over using racism to fight racism: What makes the campaign dumber than dumb is that the schools<\/em> in the targeted states \u2014 Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Georgia \u2014 have nothing to do with the Supreme Court case or <\/em>the redistricting.<\/p>\n

Nor do the teen athletes being told to pass on the opportunities those schools offer.<\/p>\n

This is the haves <\/em>\u2014 the insiders who run the NAACP, the successful politicians in the CBC \u2014 telling have-nots (high school athletes) to sacrifice their futures simply to make some kind of statement (not even a clear one) for the \u201ccause\u201d that the haves milk for their own living.<\/p>\n

The pols behind the redistricting will pay no price, only the black kids.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

This is even more idiotic than Major League Baseball\u2019s 2021 rush to pull the All-Star Game out of Atlanta over Georgia\u2019s voting-rights law: The law went ahead (and minority turnout soared<\/em>), and the MLB ultimately returned the game to Atlanta.<\/p>\n

The only ones to suffer: Businesses, workers and residents in the city, which is nearly half black (and mostly didn\u2019t support the law in the first place).<\/p>\n

Set aside the left\u2019s pathetic fury when the rules of democracy don\u2019t favor Democrats.<\/p>\n

Trying to con black teen athletes into being political pawns is as idiotic as it is despicable.<\/p>\n
