oh great

a rich black guy encourages poor working people to stay out of work and so not get paid with the money needed to feed their families...

They should try boycotting the police. Dont give the police any business. No robbing, no drug dealing, no shootings, etc etc..

I might support this if those on welfare would also refuse to accept any handouts.

Oh, I’m sure that will discourage cops from shooting armed thugs when threatened...not!

One thing's certain -- there would be a lot less celebratory dancing after every play in the NFL.

Plenty of black people where I work. No boycott here.

Black people who work for a living think like any people who work for a living.

Isaiah Washington could probably get more participation if he called on African-Americans to boycott welfare and SNAP benefits. /sarc

That would be like a government shutdown. Seems blacks are the only ones getting hired by our government.

Are they really this dumb? They’d be replaced by invader labor. That would justify the invaders staying in the US and forever reduce blacks to a worse-than-slavery situation.

I’ll take Washington’s nonsense request from the opposite perspective. I work with a number of African Americans who go to work every day, pay their bills, send their kids to college and just want to live in clean, safe neighborhoods. They want exactly what everyone else wants. And, most importantly, they want absolutely nothing to do with Black Lives Matter. I suspect that a large number of working, middle class blacks don’t agree with BLM.
