Ferguson Michael Brown Shooting: 'Boycott Black Friday' Aims to Hit America Where it Hurts

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.

[Servant of the Cross]

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

LOL!!!

Re: Yup it’s communist backed. This is plan b since that wall street thing didn’t 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 won’t effect anybody. For one thing not enough people will, for another Black Friday isn’t 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.

I never shop on Black Friday..ever...I will go shopping black Friday this year! Yes! Yes!!!!!!!

Of course Ferguson has no place to shop...they created a "Shadowland" their own "Black Ash Friday"

Momentum is building...

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

"Black Friday is for CHUMPS MAN!"

[Let's Roll]

“What are their demands? The right to kill white people without them defending themselves?”

That’s exactly what it looks like to me.

EBT ain’t bin recharged this month so’s doan matter anyways.

[ChicagahAl]

Bingo!

I’m giving them this advice -

you won’t see the change you want until you start looting and burning in white [liberal] neighborhoods.

[Calvin Locke]

Everyone who thinks this grand jury decision was wrong,
DON’T 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.

[Tax-chick]

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 ...

[DaxtonBrown]

No Looting on Black Friday!

[bert]

the boycotters will mostly be those with no money

What are their demands? The right to kill white people without them defending themselves?

"It's called whoop ass"

[Personal Responsibility]

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?
