So this "blackout" supporting black business is really going down?

[marcuz]

this shyt shouldn't just be about boycotting. dudes have to replace it with something.

i dont understand this shyt. y'all boycott their businesses on the 8th, then go back on the 9th. fukk type of shyt is that

Depending on the day, it will. Let black people boycott the holidays and see what happens.

Fortunatley for most businesses they dont rely on one day for sells. Unless we talkin black friday

Shyt needs to be longer but its a start.
Do we consider gas a business? ?

Not really. Christmas shopping used to mainly takes place on Black Friday, but now you got cyber Monday too. And let's be honest, a lot of these sales go on for a good chunk of the Christmas buying season. No one day would make a difference. We'd have to do it for at least a year. shyt it took over a year of black people boycotting in Selma to change shyt.

I get that it takes awhile but black friday would be a good day to start as far as getting attention.

needs to go at least for 6 months

outside of water, gas, and electric I think this is doable but some people live in places where they have to get groceries and clothes as well as incidentals from others bizz.

Precisely.

Boycotts don't work without replacements

Too many black owned businesses are far apart from each other in my local area. It is inconvenient for me to drive for miles to support a black owned business. What I'm going to do is enroll with Citizen Trust Bank

Getting their attention isn't going to lead to a change in the system. Instead of trying to get white peoples attention by not shopping at a store for a while, we should change our behavior now and start only shopping with black people.

If we don't change our behavior, nothing will ever change because they know we will be back in a few days.

there black where are they out of?

Atlanta. Every black person should have a black bank account.

Then someone needs to start a delivery business for those black companies. That way you can place your order online for any of those businesses and someone will deliver it to you (you pay a service fee for the convenience).

This is going to have zero effect

Even if Black people spent all their dollars in Black businesses, it would have a marginal effect.
