Let's Engage in a NATIONAL Boycott

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Okay, so what's your goal? We stop buying "luxury" goods, a subjective term, then what? And Fast Food is not a luxury good. Neither are Jordan's.

I feel ya man, but how many black folks are game?

No supporting white owned TV stations or radio...which means no watching tv or listening to the radio

don't support walmart
don't support any non-black business...

don't shop on black friday or that whole weekend...or shyt, don't support non-black busineses ever again.

Ofcourse that sadly won't happen cause most black americans enjoy being ignorant and stupid and want to seek validation from others from their trinkets and toys that they buy with their hard earned wealth that they give back to non-blacks...

This a lazy assumption of black people. We have to examine the root of the problem of why we are not supporting black businesses before we throw are own people under the bus. In my situation, many black owned businesses are two far apart from where I live. It is convenient for me to walk down the street to an Arab store to buy some grocery. In addition, Asian owned many gas stations and grocery stores in every corner of my neighborhood and Walmart sit off the main street, which is a few minute walk from where I stay. I believed many blacks are dealing with the same circumstances. We got to have a prevalence of black owned businesses to make a change.

1. I'm talking to everybody. But to thecoli since I did post on this site and it allows me to communicate with people from different states.

2. Obviously we can't go cold turkey yet on things like transportation and gas. BUT, we can start by peeling back from and boycotting luxury (read: unnecessary) materials and trinkets. Does that girl really need another handbag? Do you really need the newest Js? It's consumerism for things like these that hurt us. And we're the biggest consumers in the US. We need to peel back from buying those things and minimize as much as possible what we recycle into dominant society.

3. This is not a grand/vague gesture. This is an idea. This needs to happen. We need to shore up our dollars and stop being consumers of luxury items and n*gga trinkets.


But, of course, when I say all of this, I'm a "c00n" and a "cac"

The only way this works is if Oprah, Jay and Bey, Puffy, etc put their resources together and start our own nation which is never gonna happen. We can stop consuming luxury items but even non luxury items are white owned. You gonna tell nikkas to stop rocking 7 jeans and cop some Wranglers?

Well, not buying products from a retail store or online store on Black Friday would have no direct or indirect affect on jury selection.
Plus the deals are unbeatable.

I feel ya....and I agree with where you're coming from.

My first question is who are you talking to? Us? As on this forum? Even if every member of the Coli participated, including the non blacks, it'd be comparable to feeling the wind of a mosquito as it flies by your face regarding the economic effect.

But, let's say you do decide to boycott.....do you drive? I'd advise you not to as putting gas in your car supports the oil cartels. Public transit indirectly enriches hundreds of old white men, not to mention the government. Don't go to work either, though you are being paid you are still contributing to the financial health of whites and the economy as a whole. Technically you can't really support black businesses either unless their supply chain is all black (hint: it's not). Do you, do you see where I'm going with this? You're in a system of white supremacy and no matter what you do, as long as you live on PLANET EARTH you are going to be paying into that system in some form or fashion. But see, you all know this already. You all just like making grand but vague gestures and suggestions. You can't boycott the whole economic system so you may want to be more specific.

I agree with your comment but you CAN live in this planet and not support white supremacy. Of course i don't think people here would like to live like that.

I don't think it's gonna happen breh, folks still plan to shop for these deals. But I'll support it, Cyber Monday has better deals anyway.

Hopefully there are some all black gun and ammunition manufacturers.

 

[Data-Hawk]

You act like n*ggas can't cook and make their own clothes.

On a serious note, let's say we boycott Walmart, do you know how many black people work there? Who are you really hurting? The billionaire family or one of our sistas who just got her hours cut because of this thread?


Yall didn't even stop to think about them, they are already struggling , I gurantee their pockets will be hit first before the higher ups.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

But then we would have to buy the white man's hunting rifles. nikkas cant hunt with 9s and 45s

The coli has to pay a hosting company for their servers, I'm sure some white guy is eating off that. I guess he better delete his account.

O wait, he's on the Internet which means he has an ISP. Guess he better boycott that also.. Lol
