The Black Lives Matter Global Network has announced they will be boycotting "white companies" as part of their "Black Xmas".
They shared an Instagram post, with a caption reading: "We’re dreaming of a #Blackxmas. That means no spending with white companies from 11/26/2021 – 01/01/2022."
The Black Lives Matter group also shared a post to their website, saying: “As we prepare ourselves for the holiday season, we are bombarded with ads that seek to whip us up into a consumerist frenzy.
“Black Friday sales are being rolled out weeks in advance of Thanksgiving and, at every turn, white-supremacist-capitalism is telling us to spend our money on things that we don’t need, to reap profits for corporations.”
It continued: "#BlackXmas challenges us to shake off the chains of consumerism and step fully into our own collective power, to build new traditions, and run an offense as well as a defense."
"Black Xmas" was started in 2014 after John Crawford, a black man was involved in a police shooting in Ohio. Crawford was holding a BB gun that was for sale in a Walmart.

like facestuff, twatter, things like that?
While it’s true, they are a bunch of racist scumbags, one of the main things that bothers me is their use of “Xmas”. I’ve never liked it, I know I’m old school, but Christmas is Christmas. It seems like Xmas might hold true for them, however, for they seem to have absolutely no relationship with Christ whatsoever.
I hope they like “X-heaven” aka “Hell”.
Hasn’t she got like 5 homes? She really hit the jackpot didn’t she! (their leader)
This again? Forty or so years ago sulled up blacks were going around wishing all their friends a “Black Christmas.”
Old hat for us who have seen it in the past.
Annoying, isn't it? I've noticed that there's blacks in almost every commercial these days, far beyond their percentage of the populace. So much pandering to BLM by advertisers. I tend to mute or skip past those commercials and ignore the product.
I must be racist.
I find what I want to buy and order it. Never give a thought as to if the company is black or white owned.
Sounds like a win-win situation.
Cultural appropriation.
Go for it. We can provide free one-way tickets to the African shithole of your choice!
They really are that full of themselves.
They don’t want people out buying stuff because they want to loot the stores.
Well this certainly is a good excuse to smash and grab.
The same people that call for boycotts of “white companies” complain when “white companies” move out of their neighborhoods...
...head scratching...
Reverse racism, don’t care what none of you say contrary.
Got my vote. They can also vote to boycott using White inventions also.
I’d like to see them boycott white neighborhoods, stores, and anywhere white people are.
Rush once said, if aliens were only monitoring TV transmissions, they’d think half of planet earth was black, and the other half gay
Bless your heart!
You’d better report these serial posters to JimRob.
You earn a Gold Star that way.
Hey—I was just letting the original poster know.
Several posters have actually thanked me for letting them know—sometimes this stuff is easy to find with searches, sometimes not.
Well actually, the “X” is shorthand for “Christ”.
So they are acknowledging Him anyhow.
