Yeah, let's boycott the one day of the year merchandise is sold at deep discounts then go back to paying regular price at the same goddamn stores the rest of the year.Which fukkin smart dumb shytheads came up with this bright fukkin idea for a boycott?
If anything, black owned retailers should be buying up all the merch and reselling it throughout the year. I wouldn't be surprised if cac retailers encourage this idiotic boycott to get black folk to end up paying full retail.
Me not buying a TV on Black Friday don't eliminate my need for a television. That just makes me have to spend $300 more later on.

No, bro....you're hilarious with the bolded. How has that been working so far? I asked you for ONE example that would be better than a financial withdrawal, and your best thought was body cameras. Not to stop murder. But to HOPE that maybe, one day in the far distant future, that wearing them will at least have people know that a murder was committed.
Well, they call it murder right now, brehski. Justifiable murder. The type of murder that is committed when a black person steps out of line and bucks against the Gestapo, the police, while inside their concentration camp i.e. South Side Chicago, Compton, North Philly, etc.
Bro, they're not even being held accountable NOW with camera footage, sound and public knowledge of the incident. Less likely to commit murder when they can commit murder on camera, have millions of people watch it and still not get convicted? Or even fired?
The sad part about this is that you're probably a full grown man. Maybe with a wife and kids. And this is your best thought
Peace
Dude, there's a 70 page thread stickied in this forum that shows the effect cameras can have. That officer is not charged with murder without video evidence. Whether he's convicted, remains to be seen, but he has to be charged first, and without video evidence he would not have been charged. Cops would've went into protect the shield mode, and swept it under the rug. The more video evidence we have, the more likely charges are filed, the more charges filed, the more convictions we get, and the more convictions we get, the less likely it is a cop will murder. Notice, I didn't say it would completely eradicate the problem, just that it would help. And the other benefit is that the more video evidence we have the likely a sleep brother will be awoke.
I understand skepticism on how effective body cams would be, but to act like they'd be less effective on police misconduct than a boycott of retailers with no direct avenues to address this misconduct is just asinine.
Shame on me for even getting roped into this nonsensical discussion. Keep thinking you're more 'bout it' cuz you're not shopping one day of the year while you're exerting more energy to shyt on black people than you did promoting this dumb ass boycott.
If you a real boss the shyt you buy never go on sale 
If your gonna boycott something, boycott a brand, a company, hell even an industry.
nikkas really thought "your a c00n if you buy anything on black friday "was gonna work.

But who said a boycott would be the end all, be all to solve the problem either? No one, but you, others like you, will go out of their way to add a 2 on a 10. And then when someone asks you for a better plan, you offer one that has given NO tangible results. At least boycotts have been historically confirmed in causing political action because, as I said before, money and politics are tied at the hip. There is no political machine without a money machine.
This is a senseless back and forth. Simply because you clowned one idea without having a better one. That's not the way to prove a point.
But happy shopping

You should get up on Finance because that is possibly one of the dumbest things you could do.

OI I need a TV to go with my TV dinners ass nikka
8 hours, why so long
This happens seeminly every holiday and brehs no less fail to actually outline how'd this would work.
What; we stop spending a white people run to us "
Okay guys, what do we need to give you to start spending again?"This ain't as easy as ya'll make it seem. First, the contemporary "Black Community" not shown the ability to mobilize economically. So, you think we jump from where we are to solidarity in protest throughout the country? No.
It's not impossile; but, these "black people needta'" statements always comes off as snooty. You're setting us up for failure. Black folk need a generation to get ourselves there.
Yea, it's one thing to convince 2, 3 people for a holiday, it's another to convince 40 million.
I'm not gonna bore you with a long post. I think it's possible, but, more complex than ya'll make it seem.
Dawg...
I had to rep you for this.
I was having a debate with @The II XX about consumerism and I said consumerism and materialism is killing the black community cause of stuff like this. It went to the whole "white people do it too" rebuttal which I absolutely hate. Because it's 100% ignorant of facts.
White people own the companies that produce the products. White people have collective wealth stacked up from generations that's passed down from generation to generation through wills, trust funds, inheritances, bonds, etc so it keeps on going and that's been going on since this country started hundreds of years ago when blacks were still slaves. The wealth gap between blacks and whites has widened tremendously to the point the average wealth for the white household is $100,000+ and the average wealth for the black household is not even $6,000 dollars. And that's taken into consideration the fact that blacks were disenfranchised from creating wealth from FDR's new deal programs, to redlining and so on and so on. They can be materialistic cause it's not hurting their pockets as much as ours.
We barely own anything in this country collectively. We spend trillions each year and it all goes back to whites. They've been able to go from point A to Z and not skip a letter...we're trying to go from point A to Z and think we can easily skip B through Y. And shyt, it's not like we're even in a financial situation that can be compared to any other group. The majority of Asian countries produce the products we consume so they can sell it on the low and build up their own wealth and incomes. Spanish countries have production facilities that produce products from US and EU companies. WE don't even own any factories or produce any products.
Combined with gentrification, the rising cost of living, and the ever changing job market, trying to consume to keep up with the jonses to stunt couldn't be any fukking dumber man...
Like seeing brehs driving sports cars but still renting apartments. Women buying luxury goods but are living paycheck to paycheck..it's like people don't want to see it cause it's depressing and that's why they consume to feel good about themselves like they "made it".
THAT RIGHT THERE, BROTHER! is my point.
I completely understand the frustration of being a young (I'm in my late 20's) black man over the last (especially) 3 years in America. But, this is why I don't like "Twitter-vism."
We can't solve complex issues with terse rebuttal.
Our issues will take collective intervention. Until then (and it's gonna take atleast a generation) we can leave most these "solutions" where they are.
Breh demonizing Black Friday shopping fail to actually come up with a plan.Black people cant even do something simple as sitting at home and enjoying their family...what else should we come up with
Ya'll just like to beat Black folk with the "You need to do better" paddle and K.I.M.
Black folks should be fine shopping on Nov 26-30.
We have more complex issues that have our money constantly flying out of our communities.
I wonder what literature ya'll consume that suggest this will actually help us....
I grow tired of "Black folk need to stop..." crowd forgetting that we're American (b*stard children, yes), also. And will more than likely participate in American tradition.
Though, I agree with @1984 our economic consequences are different.
The problem is the lack of nuance in the idea that Black Friday shopping is problematic and there being no clear outline (Point A [don't shop] to Point Z [black liberation???]) on how this helps us get anywhere.
We (young black people) also have an entitlement/pride issue...
Not sure if your serious. But, yea, it's ill seeing middle Americans buying 2 TV's a piece.
Ya'll need/can afford two TV's??I'm not judging; I copped movies I don't "need" and a game I don't "need."
