Ferguson Michael Brown Shooting: 'Boycott Black Friday' Aims to Hit America Where it Hurts

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.

Everyone should boycott “Black Friday.” Pres. Washington declared a day for thanking Almighty God for his blessings to our nation. This has been corrupted into the worship of materialism in our ungodly culture.

What are we teaching our children by our observation of Thanksgiving Day, or do they think it’s “Turkey Day?”

Too bad that shop keeper in your photos wasn’t armed with a .45 ACP and ready to use it to defend himself as the “Gentle Giant” throttled him and tossed him aside like a bag of rags.

Yeah, because everyone knows it was capitalism that killed Michael Brown. If the greedy store clerk hadn’t tried to make Brown pay for the cigars, everything would have been cool.

Sounds like a plan! It would give new meaning to “Black” Friday and only leave the white trailer trash to get into fist fights to save $5 on a can opener.

Make sure the places you boycott are in Black neighborhoods like the businesses trashed in Furgeson; that will show whitey.

This makes sense, especially if you heard the people on bullhorns inciting the riot before the verdict last night.

I might have to rethink my stance on not shopping with the unwashed masses that day....if the ghetto element and/or liberal pukes aren’t there it might be nice.
