Boycotting was the invention of Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah Wright, Barack

Now you're being silly:

"The word boycott entered the English language during the Irish "Land
War" and is derived from the name of Captain Charles Boycott, the
estate agent of an absentee landlord, the Earl Erne, on Achill Island
in County Mayo, Ireland, who was subject to social ostracism
organized by the Irish Land League in 1880."
