Actor Isaiah Washington is calling on African-Americans to protest the recent killings of black men by police in a very different way.
Washington took to Facebook on Tuesday to suggest that African-Americans across the United States boycott showing up for work on Monday to show that black lives matter in the wake of recent police brutality.
"Imagine if every single African American in the United States that was really fed up with being angry, sad and disgusted, would pick ONE DAY to simply 'stay at home' from every single job, work site, sports arena and government office in the United States of America," he wrote to his thousands of followers.
"I'm very sure that within 72 hours from Wall Street to the NFL...Black Lives Would Matter. September 26, 2016 is THE DAY," the former "Grey's Anatomy" star continued....

show him this video - All kinds of WARNINGS (language, violence)

I suspect that a large number of working, middle class blacks don’t agree with BLM.
Haha…how would we know?
In ancient Rome actors were considered the same class as prostitutes. Romans got a few things right.
The jokes write themselves.
Oh, if only.
This will be a gimme for employers who are afraid to fire minorities. Refusal to work will make it easy to give them the pink slip and hand the job to more respectful employees.
I have it on Blu-Ray :-)
Wouldn’t be much impact since they don’t.
There wouldn’t be anyone on television..."
But but but, who'd play the President of the United States? All movies depict Morgan Freeman as prez as if there's a law.
Oh wait: in "London Has Fallen" he played the Veep. My bad.
