Anti-racist protests in the wake of recent high-profile police killings of Black people will take on another form on Tuesday, July 7: economic protest. . . . Blackout Day 2020, taking place on Tuesday, July 7, is a call to action to unite Black people in economic solidarity. In a video posted May 8, 2020, the event’s founder, Texas-based Calvin Martyr, asked for Black people in America for one day to not spend a dollar — “not online, not on Amazon, no fast food places, no restaurants, no stores.”

Wonder if looting counts?

Now I am tempted to take my two black children out shopping. Unfortunately with all this mask business there’s few places where going unmuzzled doesn’t create a problem.

Those that participate will just buy twice as much stuff tomorrow.

[Brian Griffin]

May I suggest destroying EBT cards?

If you look at the American black population as a discrete unit economically they would be the 9th or 10th richest country on Earth.

So... you can go out to eat today without some ‘woke’ protestors harassing you? Sweet..!

[Republican Wildcat]

Right - or they went ahead and bought it yesterday. Totally ineffectual and meaningless.

More virtue signaling.

Yippee.......

I guess “Earth Day” in March is when you’re supposed to switch off all your lights. Hard to keep up.

You're probably right.

This boycott is like the “Day Without Illegals” where they think it will grind the country to a halt.

NOBODY WILL NOTICE!

[MGunny]

What in the world is going on in this country? I intend to spend a lot of money today. But where I spend my money is entirely up to me and a bunch of Marxist pukes.

Just a thought — Is Penn State going to stop their “White Outs” at their home football games?? Isn’t that racist? Just sayin’.

[nonliberal]

It should be a good day to go to the store and not have to deal with blacks. Win/win.

[DannyTN]

So they should just stay home and not do anything?

They’ve kind of been overshadowed, by COVID blackout 2020.
