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.

If the protestors and anarchists call for the boycott I guarantee sales will increase. I, for one, whom never shops on black Friday, promise to make some purchase for the first time ever.

If it is the kind of shopping that has occurred thus far, I am glad that they will be boycotting shopping this Friday ...

Re:
Yup its communist backed. This is plan b since that wall street thing didnt work.Actually, there is truth to that. In addition to the Black Panther agitation, ACORN, which has been renamed MORE, is also playing its part.

That wont effect anybody. For one thing not enough people will, for another Black Friday isnt actually that profitable since door busters took it over. Which is why this is a "fake boycott". They are already predicting sales will be down this year, so when they are this "movement" will claim sales are down because of their boycott.

Momentum is building... What? A bunch of penniless basement dwelling millenials are going to boycott? ROTFL.

That’s exactly what it looks like to me.

I’m giving them this advice -
you won’t see the change you want until you start looting and burning in white [liberal] neighborhoods.

Everyone who thinks this grand jury decision was wrong,
DONT SHOP ON FRIDAY!
More like "Don't go shoplifting on Friday".
Tell them that it's to honor the memory of St. Swisher (and his "shopping" techniques, of course.)

OK I get the underware under the swim trunks, I guess. But socks? on a beach? I am so glad I live out amongst mostly white people now days.

The funny thing is they really believe this. They believe enough people give a flying freep about their “grievance” that it will make a difference in holiday-season spending.
Sometimes I think being crazy would be easier than dealing with reality, too ...

What does corporate American have to do with Michael Brown? Did they shoot him? Did they decide not to indict the officer?
Oh...wait...is this a “Black-Friday-is-racist” thing?
