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.

How is this thug’s termination corporate America’s fault? Have they even tried to come up with logic to support that?

About as stupid as those boycott gasoline for a day to “hurt” Big Oil. Unless you get people to actually skip Xmas shopping for the entire season the most that will happen is people will buy stuff on another day.

Swisher Sweets & Morgan David hit hardest!

Yup it’s communist backed. This is plan b since that wall street thing didn’t work.

If the idiots and racists stay home on Black Friday it will save quite a few innocent shoppers from being run over, stomped, pummeled and beaten into the ground.

Dear Black Community,

Try Boycotting WELFARE and RAP

How will they resist the urge to go wilding on Black Friday?

I wish these “black” jackasses would worry more about the “black” lady that this filthy punk beat up in that store when he robbed it.

Where’s their concern about this lady? Is she ok? I haven’t heard anything from any of the drivebys at all.

Talk about ungrateful.

We named the damn holiday for them, then they boycott.

Keyword..Boycott don't spend $$ but break windows and doors down and steal.

Most liberals blame their woes on corporate America. There is no logic, it’s just the way it is.

[justa-hairyape]

Hey morons. No profits = no tax revenue = no free stuff.

Careful, I believe that's a forbidden word.

[Steely Tom]

I celebrate Black Friday by staying home.

Eventually Black Friday will jump the shark, like Kwanzaa.

What would happen if those Evil Businesses decided to BOYCOTT EBT CARDS??

[Qiviut]

My thoughts exactly! :-)

The only negative I see is less Black Friday fights/stampedes videos on YouTube this year.
