The Los Angeles chapter of Black Lives Matter is calling for people to resist “white capitalism” and President Trump by only buying from black businesses during the holiday season.
On Sunday, the allegedly official Black Lives Matter-LA Twitter account posted that they are “dreaming of a #BlackXmas” that involves people withholding their “dollars from White capitalism” and, instead, spending that money in the black community:
We’re dreaming of a #BlackXmas...where folks withhold dollars from White capitalism and use resources to #BuildBlackCommunity. Instead of spending, DONATE to a Black organization as a holiday gift for your loved ones or #BuyBlack. Go to https://t.co/klHABpJaeu for more. — #BlackLivesMatter-LA (@BLMLA) November 26, 2017
The website for the movement calls for people to “#DIVEST from White corporations” and “#INVEST in Black community.”
According to the BlackXmas website, by choosing to #BUYBLACK, Black Lives Matter supporters are helping stop Trump and “the like.” The site claims, “Donald Trump embodies White capitalism. If you are anti-Trump, you should hold back your resources from him and the like.”
Two Black Lives Matter supporters and California State University, Los Angeles professors discussed their support for the movement.
Newsweek reports pan-African studies professor Melina Abdullah connected “white capitalism” to the alleged systematic killing of black people by police.
“We say ‘white capitalism’ because it’s important that we understand that the economic system and the racial structures are connected,” Abdullah said. “We have to not only disrupt the systems of policing that literally kill our people, but we have to disrupt the white supremacist, capitalistic, patriarchal, heteronormative system that is really the root cause of these police killings.”
Fellow pan-African studies professor Anthony Ratcliff said, “Black Lives Matter and other organizations build a strong critique and understanding of racism and white supremacy and sexism and homophobia, transphobia, but we have to have as much hatred or vitriol against capitalism.”
“Until we start to see capitalism [is] just as nefarious as white supremacy, we will always be struggling,” he added.
In 2015, a “Black Xmas” protest led to airports in Minneapolis and San Francisco being blockaded by activists in order to fight against police brutality.

Fine with me...first stop and return all that taxpayer cash you all have been getting via EBT cards for the last 50 or so years.
I wonder what would happen if white people started to sing “I’m dreaming of a WHITE CHRISTMAS” while out and about, in L.A....
BlackLudicrousMorons
Walmart and Amazon are now black businesses? What idiots!
I guess those Black Xmas folks are quite willing to throw their black brothers and sisters who work for those “white” companies under the unemployment bus when the sales decline. If they can think that far beyond their racist ideology.

These BLM jackboot NAZI thugs give black people a bad name.
Is it possible in the next election that the president gets well over 70% of the white vote, maybe 80. This is lunacy, but it’s the Democrats. Let them melt down from their utter stupidity!
That is why so many BLM supporters like TV’s....they think they are sticking it to whitey.
THEY...don’t want to celebrate ANYTHING...they want YOU to stop celebrating YOUR holiday.
GREED runs the left. It’s all they’re about.
Only shop at black owned businesses ?
There’s a limit to how many haircuts to get, hair weaves to buy or soul food to eat. Those are the three core black owned business models most shoppers encounter.
The fundamentals of this economy come from the majority race (white) and they know it.
Clothes
Housing
Food at the supermarket
Fresh water
Sanitation and sewer system
So I assume this includes ‘blackballing’ (couldn’t resist) by black fascists of black employees working in white businesses? Nothing like helping your brother and sister in the phantom struggle.
Good luck with that! If you spend a dollar, I guarantee a white man has more than likely profited at some stage of the supply chain.
(Let them be leftists!!!)
Kwanza wasn’t black enough. Nothing matters but color.
Obviously,they haven’t looked at youtube videos of “BLACK FRIDAY”Blacks looooooove white capitalism......
