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:
WWGS?
(What would Gandhi say?)
Interesting choice of words there.
” Let’s black it out, and make sure not one black face is littering the local mall!”
Don’t throw me in that briar patch Brer Bear...
They should have a poster board of all the dead police officers alongside their board of those they claim to represent.. Equality and all being the order of the day.
But father's day cards still lacking.
Yeah, can't wait to see how effective this will be tomorrow...
The problem is they are winning with this BLM movement. Look at the colleges. They are taking whitey out. Our history out too.
I love it! Keep it up! Be as radical as possible, I want Trump to win by the biggest landslide in history!
Great, they’ll see how insignificant they really are.
We need to “slow or stop” the American economy around government “goodies” and handouts. These commie jackasses probably wouldn’t like it but it works for me. Boycott government freebies.
Fantastic news. Now I don’t have to scramble to be out of the shopping district by 2pm when the moochers and loiterers flood in.
I work with plenty of good, smart, accomplished blacks who more than hold their own in our corporate environment. They are no different from anyone because they got themselves educated and work for their success.
Really disgusting to see what the communists have done to the minds of so many blacks when it didn’t need to be. Really, the rats are evil.

Whenever they’re near
White Anxiety
It’s them that I fear
My heart’s afraid to fly
It’s crashed before
If I try I just might win
Who will I blame if I always could?
White Anxiety
Like my old Blankey
White Anxiety
Easier than being a Man
It’s very clear to me
I’ve got to give in
White Anxiety
You win

For shizzle.
“...Let’s black it out, and make sure not one black face is littering the local mall!...”
How do we know this isn’t a false protest started by white-supremacists? I mean, who else would want to shop without “one black face littering the local mall”?
Otherwise (just making an honest observation based on news footage of shopping “riots” from black-Fridays in previous years), if this protest is a success, it might be a much safer, more enjoyable Friday-After-Thanksgiving shopping day.
they won’t be shopping at the mall? Well, praise black Jesus and the pyramid builders. Maybe I’ll actually go to the mall and enjoy the civility for a day.
Apparently Black Lives don’t really matter that much at all.Especially to other blacks.
After all the Biggest killer of black males is other black males.The police are not even close in the equation.
