You miss the point - a boycott threat only has teeth if the group being threatend with the boycott sees the group threatening the boycott as economically valuable.
I honestly don't know much about the demographics of Myrtle Beach - particularly those of the tourists. In the past, it was the preferred destination of blue collar, white, conservative southerners. Maybe the tourist base is more diverse today.
Unless the businesses of Myrtle Beach see a lot of their business coming from blacks, a boycott is going to be ineffective. I think their actions have already shown the either don't care, or they are too stupid to see the value their black customers bring them.
As for Freaknik, there are no parallels you can draw there. Freanik in Atlanta died 3 years ago... killed off by a black city administration who realized it was more economic and politicial trouble than it was worth.
