Black Lives Matter plans to boycott Black Friday, claiming that a way to spread awareness of their movement is to hurt the US economy. The group also wants "Black Friday" to be renamed "BlackLivesMatterFriday."
"Let's hit America where it hurts!" reads BLM's website. "I challenge you not to spend one dime on "Black Friday". Let's black it out, and make sure not one black face is littering the local mall!"
The group is using the catchphrase "Hands Up, Don't Shop:"
A Facebook group devoted to the boycott exclaims that "we must slow or stop the american economy around retail Goods [sic]."
It further reads, "Black Friday has been shown as a day were people put shopping before people lives and we are not ok with that especially when hundreds of unarmed people of color are gunned down by police every year with no charges filed against the police officers --we are taking black friday back from the nation and permanently renaming it #BLACKLIVESMATTERFRIDAY."
They have also posted images like these:
Black Lives Matters' website is also calling for a boycott during the entire Christmas and Holiday Season:
“Let’s black it out, and make sure not one black face is littering the local mall!”
yeah, go for it! make it everyday!
>>A Facebook group devoted to the boycott exclaims that “we must slow or stop the american economy around retail Goods [sic].”
LOL. 12% and most of it is poor. Good luck with stopping the economy.
Racist bastards.

I’m over black lives matter. Does that mean I no longer care about black lives? Oh, that’s right. That’s not what they are about. They don’t care about blacks. Why should anyone else.
These Crazy Kooks are going to boycott my store?
Oh Happy Day!!
These idiots have no idea what “Black Friday” refers to.
Obama has stirred up and stoked the fire of the dysfunctional part of black culture that hates whites aa well as themselves, and thinks the world owes them a living.
Let the annual celebratory sale priced rioting begin.
You almost forgot #SleepItOffSaturday
They are encouraging their members to not spend money that they don’t have this holiday season. I had no idea they were also sound economic advisers.
I guess this will mean a lot less thuggish behavior in stores.
Sumbitch, what a bummer.
I wonder why some people cannot see the exact moment when they effectively became a parody of themselves.
Good!
More great deals for whitey.
15% of the population? The mouse that roared. Dorks.
How about: Blacksdon’tshootblacks Friday?
