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.

I never shop on Black Friday, just because, to tell the truth I hate shopping. Plus I am usually working. But I will try to find something to buy.

Isn’t burning down businesses, stealing their inventory and frightening employees enough to stay home a boycott by default?

I wonder if that means we can change it to Whitey Friday.

So the folks that would support this boycott, would punish business that had no impact in the event, by not buying Christmas gifts for their friends/family?
The riot organizing progressives are communists.
To: ScottinVA
Actual sales won’t go down, and, less crime and shoplifting. So...why is this not a Good Thing?

Every time a group suggests boycotting Black Friday.
NOTHING HAPPENS!
Except more robust sales and profits than the last time some moron suggested boycotting Black Friday!

If you boycott Black Friday and bring down the huge American corporations, then who will bring the jobs and resources to Ferguson that the black community has been asking for. As usual, these guys are thinking with the wrong organs.

...boycotting Black Friday, and not buying anything seems awfully niggardly to me...
To: Iron Munro
If the gibsmedats stay away from Black Friday, that’s good. But they may show up just to cause trouble.
Black Friday opening looks like a birthday party riot at Chuck E Cheez.

Pity we can`t boycott taxes to the welfare system, dry up the leftist swamp and force the rats out into the open, use your imagination on what follows.

Liberals are cheap with their own money. They will say they are boycotting but we all know they will be shopping.
