Farrakhan - Boycott Christmas 2015

[N.Nashie]

During the Justice Or Else rally in DC this past weekend, Farrakhan called for blacks to boycott Christmas this year. Says we spend $400 Billion during Xmas holidays.

"This Christmas sit around the table, and bring Christ back to a day that was supposed to honor him.
Put the bottle down, put the loud down, put the beer down and get around your table with clean food and teach about Jesus and then show love forgiveness and reconcile your differences within the family, and this would be the best christmas that we've had in a long time. If you could put $400 billion dollars and keep it in your pocket, then you've got a little money to invest, and what we want to do is buy up as much land. We're asking government for 100 million acres as a start (about the size of California)."

-Farrakhan

ya'll with it?

I haven't celebrated that garbage in years. He's still playing it safe though. He knows what the Bible says, that's not his real birth date. On top of that, tell these communities to tear down some of these churches. They rob us the most. They don't even keep half of the commandments right. Its all prosperity.

One of the biggest protests in US history unfolded across America yesterday as more than a million demonstrators took to the streets to protest against proposals to toughen immigration law.

looks like it failed.

This is the shyt everyone went to this Million Man March for? So he can ask the government for some fukking land?

Then what?

Exactly. Mother fukker's acting like Pat Robinson or Creflo with these gimmicks. I'm not against channeling money into something else and I don't think most people are opposed to that but government's not going to give us a fukking thing let alone land the size of fukking California.

The boycott proved extremely effective, with enough riders lost to the city transit system to cause serious economic distress. Martin Luther King later wrote "[a] miracle had taken place." Instead of riding buses, boycotters organized a system of carpools, with car owners volunteering their vehicles or themselves driving people to various destinations. Some white housewives also drove their black domestic servants to work. When the city pressured local insurance companies to stop insuring cars used in the carpools, the boycott leaders arranged policies with Lloyd's of London, a company which once insured slave cargo ships.[25]

but but but unity and cooperative economics dont work

This existed prior and the GOP is on route to undo it.

This is a local boycott with clear demands.

Holidays are really the only time my family gets together, especially now that everyone is getting older and doing their own thing. I like buying gifts and chilling with them. It's something that makes me happy so I can't see cutting it out at this time.

Ok and you can't do that without outrageous gifts?


My parents used to buy us every damn thing we wanted. Spending G's on the 3 of us between gaming system, bike, clothes, toys.... Then you stop by this house and that house. More gifts


Last year we imposed a $30 max unless it was your kids or couples.

Christmas was the same. Maybe better cause people got creative for once. We still got together. Still ate. Still had a good time. Still laughed. And nobody was out here breaking the bank to get a gift for mom, dad, bro, sis, cousin, aunt, grandma, friend at work, etc etc



You don't have to follow it exactly. But say you bought half the gifts and spend the extra on a savings bond you wouldn't have got otherwise

Did it really destroy Christmas
