No, it's stupid to think that boycotting white-owned businesses and creating our own economy wouldn't combat racial inequality and police brutality.
Its like talking with a brick wall with you... Okay, here it goes
1) Unity is the key word. Unity and sending a message with our pockets. The message is what connects Mike Brown and the boycotts: If Amerikka doesn't value black life, don't expect to value our black dollar.
I don't know how many times people tried to drill into your head, this isn't the end all be all, its a start, look at the bigger picture
Anything accomplished within this country, including your solutions, requires funding, and where are we gonna get the funding if we don't start somewhere
2) It goes much deeper than cops & cameras. It comes down to bringing down a corrupted system. What's stopping these cops from taking these cameras off? What's stopping them from even getting away with murder even when filmed?
Example 1: Eric Garner. This whole incident was filmed and almost NOTHING has come of this
Desk duty breh, fukking desk duty?
Example 2: officer took off their camrea and shot someone

We, as black people, need to unify, send a message, and support out own to either fight a corrupt system, or, build or own and support ourselves while everyone else leave us the hell alone... and this may be a start
If you don't mind me asking:
What's your race?
What's your sex?
How old are you?
Matter of fact, I'll start, I'm 31 black male
THIS.we need to boycott everyday not just black friday
it makes no difference if everyone goes out on Saturday and buys shyt
I could easily show you cases of where body cameras worked.
America is full of individuals. When have you seen unity? Did you see that when black businesses were being burned down? Did that happen after Trayvon? People get on with life.
All white businesses? Because all whites are bad? There are people of all colors that had a problem with this.
Your problem is you're clueless as what to do and you're not living in the real world.
But it gets you daps on some hip hop message board. And that makes you feel good.
Got some other ignorant kid that throws up some Frederick Douglass avatar, and he thinks he's doing his part.
Not shopping at "white businesses" does nothing for situations like this. Doesn't do anything. Some random white business you're not going to shop at, didn't pull the trigger. You don't hear this from the family or their supporters. Maybe they're a bit more grown up than a lot of people posting here. Have actual things that would work.
Im supposed to tell a 15 year old to get his mind off sneakers?![]()
Like I said breh I can tell him to wait till marriage to have sex but he still gonna think about sex. I just tell him I wont cop them plain and simple
Cant you go without the ****** trinkets for just one christmas? If the stores see a drastic decline this holiday, trust me that these prices will remain low well into the new year.
Pretty much how I am. fukk doin' all that shyt, if I want something, I'll order it online.I'm boycotting by default, I've never participated in black friday. I always thought it was the dumbest shyt ever.
