So everybody boycotting black friday check in

[FUPA]

ive been getting better deals with all these pre black friday sales than on black friday. Just picked up madden 15 for 10$.

 

[Versa]

I'm not simply because I need winter clothes due to losing weigh and its cheaper on that day.

Boycotting one day ain't doing shyt. If we about to boycott for a month I'm with that.

Try your best to support black owned businesses as much as possible though. Super important for us to progress that we stop putting our paychecks directly into the white man's pockets.

Don't forget to buy your butter biscuits while your out nikka.

Them Sneakers = Butter Biscuits.

They've been conditioned to think black owned= inferior/not as good as the white man or other race's stores.

The sad part is it's the same way in majorly black countries. Huge trade deficits predicated on large imports of western made materials rather than the cultivation of manufacturing sectors within the country.

Its that slave mentality.

Support black owned businesses. Go eat at a black owned restaurant. Support the community.

sounds good in theory but in practice it can be difficult to do for 2 reasons.

#1. Do you realize quite a few so called black owned eateries are not actually black owned any more. they are owned by asians just with some black folks in there as a front. Now even then if you support that store you are support blacks since blacks are paid by that establishment. But that depends on how you want to play it.

#2. Black customer service at their places of business on average is Horrendous. lets talk about some of the food spots. how are you going to have a soul food spot and run out of chicken? thats because you're so busy trying to make a perfect stock run vs how much you think you will sell. So as to not have any leftovers. Thats not good business practices. Every great eatery is over stocked with food and has to toss a ton of food before the nights up. more supply then the demand. So as to meet the demand every time. Now perhaps they can find out how to legally donate the extras that night to those in need. shoot even write it off on their taxes. Then just the basic level of service is off 50% of the time. I call in a order "let me get the red snapper combo,, let me get yams and greens."

I get there, it takes forever to get my bad and they said it will only take 10 mins over the phone. it took me 20 to get there(driving). so it should be bagged and ready. not bagged, not ready. the guy is actually seating people vs worrying about my togo order. another 10 mins passes. now thats 30 mins in total. grabs my food. Doesnt throw in the biscuit that comes with it. Doesnt give me yams, gives me something else i never ordered and sends me on my way.

or i get the ultra rude chick that picks up the phone like its her house "helllo( with dat raspy ghetto unconcerned voice)." not "hello this is such and such may i take your order." then she proceeds to plug my order in the system incorrectly cause when i get there its wrong again.

The black clothing stores are just as bad on customer service. you walk in and half the time they act like they dont want you in there as if they dont have stuff to sell?lol. i think they are using the building as a tax write off or even a place to stay for cheap rent(yes i see a lot of them living in their stores or above their stores). I mean, no Hi, How are you doing today, may i help you. Nothing. just an ice grill mean mugg.

So... should i still support these businesses and chalk it up to PTSD that all black folks have experienced since slavery days and blame it on the white man? cause i could. what should a bruh do?

We all

Lighten up, its winter where you are right?

 

[ThePlumber]

I like how you just skipped over me saying, I think it'd be more effective to boycott any businesses that aren't black owned one week out of every month. Silly ass.



I have and use the Around The Way app. It shows you where all the black owned businesses in your area are located.

Look, a nikka just wants to rack up on some clothes.

Can't find the app in the store. Is it still available?

Don't vote in your local elections but boycott an opportunity to save money to make your point brehs.

Boycott is just a buzz word for e-militants. It's propped up as a pancea, but in reality it's so poorly planned and explained, that it has no chance of ever working. And this outcome is fine with the e militant; it's expected to fail, because it then gives them the opportunity to go on their "nikkas ain't shyt, and ain't never gonna be shyt cuz they couldn't even give up shopping on one day" when in reality no one got behind your movement because it was bullshyt

1.) Your one day boycott ain't gonna do shyt, especially when it's followed by folks getting their shopping done afterwards. The most famous and probably effective boycott in this country's history (the Montgomery Bus Boycott) affected a single entity and that little entity held on for over a year before giving in and you think this one day boycott is gonna do shyt?

2.) As someone pointed out in here, boycotts don't work without substitution. The Montgomery Bus Boycott does not work without the organized carpools to allow folks to still get to their jobs and feed their families.

3.) There's no clear ask here. The Montgomery boycott was indefinite, and the CaCs knew that they could avoid the boycott if they integrated the busses. They knew this before the boycotts began, they knew it 1 week, 1 month, 1 year into the boycotts. What's the head of Macy's suppoosed to do to try to avoid his store seeing the sales dip? What would have to happen in order to avoid this boycott? What would have to happen in order to conclude this boycott.

4.) Trickle-down boycotts are not effective at all. Like I said, the Bus Boycotts hit the pockets of a specific entity and it still held on for over a year. Y'all think seeing a few retailers flounder (whilst others within the country prosper) is really gonna cause them to blow through every law on the books, the constitution, state vs federal rights and just indict a man that jurisdiction doesn't want to indict? Y'all sound as delusional as Reagan with his trickle down economics.


It's clear to everybody that this proposal was something y'all just pulled out of your ass. "Black Friday is coming up, let's boycott that, that'll show em!"
If this happened in May, y'all would be calling for us to avoid travelling Memorial Day weekend and shyt. How much time has passed since Trayvon? Hell, if y'all were truly taking this serious you could've devised a real action in plan in the 3 months since Brown was murdered. Instead y'all expect people to follow something y'all made up last night.

"Bu...bu...bu..it's a start" Every step is a start to somewhere, but no one wants to follow a leader who is clearly just making it up as they go along.

 

[Atlrocafella]

niccas really don't understand..boycotting Black Friday isn't going to do shyt. Business will still make a great profit this weekend, most black people are still going to go shop, and most black oeople who do avoid shopping on that friday will just reup elsewhere.

What we need to do is get into positions of power, become the authority we have a problem with to change things. Don't like the DA? Become the DA, don't like the mayor, judge, other elected officials? Than become those things.

All good points. I don't shop bf anyway but nikkas are unrealistic like we not supposed to shop at any white owned establishment. I support black owned business whenever I can but my daughter wants toys for Christmas. Theres not one black owned toy store in my area so she just supposed to be ass out on Christmas?
