Farrakhan - Boycott Christmas 2015

[MeachTheMonster]

In years past, we pretended to celebrate Christmas for the right reasons, but this year we will do just that. We will celebrate Jesus for the real person he was, a political revolutionary who changed the scope of human history, so much so that a religion was created around his ideologies. So, no video games or Jordan this year. But they're will be plenty of laughter, plenty of family and plenty of coordinated political action during this holiday season."

Why do these things have to be mutually exclusive?

I've talked to my kids about what's real, but we still give and get gifts, and celebrate each other.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the event farrakhan proposed the idea a gathering of black folks nationwide?:ard:

Gathering? No, he is calling for an ambiguous nationwide boycott.

I haven't seen any list of demands to these companies explanations as to why the government would give up land are any of you organizing locally to boycott the companies in your cities

I swear these black leaders need to work on their marketing. A way more effective tactic would be "Company X supports racist cops. Boycott Company X or you're a c00n."

Ive thought about this myself. Somebody made a thread once highlighting all the current companies that profited off of the slave trade. These companies should all be put on blast and boycotted also.

How are people not seeing this? They don't even have a list of demands nor are any of these coli brehs organizing anyone in their actual community. 2 things MLK ALWAYS did.

MLK's policies were a fukking failure. Get the hell out of here with your bullshyt.

 

[PhonZhi]

Man you baby nikkas make me sick what else plan do you need???? How financially illiterate can you be?

Latinos and Hispanics didn't bytch and complain when they stopped spending money with Donald Trump... Stop feeding the beast and put that money back in your own pockets! Or use that money to INVEST in something tangible.

It's like you nikkas want to be forever broke and in last place in society just so you can complain

 

[Poitier]

MLK's policies were a fukking failure

So you're against boycotting?

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

So you're against boycotting?

So you simply summarize MLK's entire movement as just boycotting?

Not sure why i even bother with you mental midgets...

Carry on...

These dummies really expect people who have been fukking off their money all year long to suddenly be enlightened at Christmas. Plus they acting like tax season isn't right around the corner for the fukkery to pick up right where it left off.

I listen to Dave Ramsey and nothing he teaches is different than what Dr. Kunjufu outlined in his book Black Economics, the difference is Dave Ramsey's message is on the radio 7 days a week, 3 hours a day. Not only does he have a book, but several churches teach his economic program. He has podcasts and a website full of information. He getting the message out EVERY DAY. Not just fukking once per year.

I don't know if you're being obtuse or you really don't understand. But can you take off the personal finance hat for a sec?

This is NOT about personal finance for the masses. I don't know how you're missing that. It's about making a political statement VIA THE E..CON...O...MY.

We're talking about a macro problem on a political level and you're focusing on a micro solution on a household level. A micro solution that would help any person, yes. But we're talking about SYSTEMATIC OPPRESSION OF A PEOPLE. Not oppression of Tyrone Jenkins on Im-A-Lame St in Opa Locka, FL because he has no savings, a low credit score and rents from a slumlord.

As far as tax season, why are you even bringing that up? You can't even not shop right now. The hell you thinking about 6 months from now for? The goal is to take the FIRST STEP and then build off that. But if you can't even get the first step down, then talking about what n#ggas are going to do with their tax return is incredulous and disingenuous.

Peace

Where did I say that?

You quoted my post about his boycotts and implied it failed

What were his policies

Right getting people from across the US to take off work and fly to DC is tougher than getting nikkas to hold their money a few weeks.

Any group that would make demands on behalf of all black Americans outside of NOI runs a risk of infiltration. Black folks in general express a desire to have their voices heard. I say boycott now, get their attention and make demands then. At the latest you can wait till this time next year where you can threaten another holiday boycott AND effect elections.

Anyway shut up nikka I'm not discussing this with you anymore

"Hey, kids. We have a confession to make. Your mother and I have been lying to you for your whole life. We've been telling you that Christmas is about gifts, eating all types of crappy food, getting drunk off egg nog, spending time with family members we really don't care about and overall, being tricks. But this year, we've decided that you deserve the truth.

Christmas, as we know and celebrate it, is supposedly about the birth of Jesus the Christ. Historically, that's not true, so again, we've lied to you about that as well. But in celebration of that "birth", we should celebrate each other and the love we have for one another. We should give to those less fortunate instead of hoarding meaningless trinkets for ourselves. We should teach you the importance of being the example that Jesus was in your own lives. But we've fallen short.

Also, as black people, we have an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Now, we're n#ggas, so we've also lied to you about Jesus as well. No, he's not white. And no, he wasn't some p*ssy who let people take advantage of him. No, the real image of Jesus the Christ was that of a revolutionary. One who directly challenged the leaders of his own people, the Jews, for sucking up to the Romans in exchange for meaningless title. Think of Al Sharpton. And one who was not afraid to die for his beliefs at the hands of the oppressors of his people, the Romans, if that would move forward his people and his ideology. Think of MLK and Malcolm X.

With all that said, Jesus knew the importance of taking a stand. And since this year will be about emulating Jesus, we'll be taking a stand as well. In the time of Jesus, his people, the Jews, were living under a form of colonialism or Jim Crow. The same way our people have been living ever since we've been brought to this country. Jesus fought back via his message and certain acts that challenged the status quo. Our family will do the same by not supporting the economy that oppresses us during this holiday season. We will be Christ-like and take a stand against injustice.

In years past, we pretended to celebrate Christmas for the right reasons, but this year we will do just that. We will celebrate Jesus for the real person he was, a political revolutionary who changed the scope of human history, so much so that a religion was created around his ideologies. So, no video games or Jordan this year. But they're will be plenty of laughter, plenty of family and plenty of coordinated political action during this holiday season."

Hey son, nieces and nephews for now on I'm no longer participating in gifts on Christmas due to wanting to spread black wealth only.

My parents, Brothers and sisters

" you work for a white man, wearing a white owned clothing brand, eat cac groceries, hell your car was created by a white man. Once again "

They don't HAVE TO BE mutually exclusive, but they generally are.
