Momentum is building on social media to boycott the Black Friday sales in order to hit corporate America "where it hurts" over the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown.
The Justice for Michael Brown Leadership Coalition is organising the 'No Justice, No Profit' boycott campaign on Thanksgiving Day (27 November), through to Sunday. Black Friday is traditionally the day that kicks off the Christmas buying period with retailers across America offering big discounts to jump-start the busiest shopping days of the year.

Our local book store is opening at 7 AM on Friday. I doubt there will be a huge crowd which is exactly why I will be there.
Love books!
Hate crowds!

So first they blamed local businesses that had nothing to do with this shooting, then they blamed the Jews (of course), now they are blaming “corporate America”. Just curious: When are they going to blame Michael Brown?

One huge discount on a “Big Screen T.V.” and this “Boycott” will collapse like the proverbial house of cards.

Glad to see the Occupy Wallstreet arm of the Obama body politic found something to do this fall.

It’s funny, when I was around 5 years old I use to yell gibberish when I played a record on my toy record player. Today they call that rap. Also my pants use to fall down and my underwear would show, I remember that clear as day jumping around and my pants falling down and my parents laughing. Today that’s a “fashion statement”.
