Looks like a pistol in his belt.

[submarinerswife]

Black Friday will be a riot!

HA!

[Iron Munro]

Black Boycott?

We dare you!

We DOUBLE-DOG dare you!!

[dfwgator]

[MoochPooch]

I wish more black folks were country.

Your friends are probably more traditional (I have noticed this among Southern blacks).

Maybe that is the problem with some of the urban black youth: they are misplaced. They are unable to compete in a highly Westernized society. They might do better in rural areas, where they could own farms, work in factories or blue-collar professions, etc. There is no shame in it.

Ditto for some Hispanic. When I suggested this to a friend, a retired Los Angeles public school teacher who tried & failed to educate (illegal) Mexican children, she accused me of racism. "You think all blacks & Hispanics should be mopping floors!" she argued.

I tried to explain that I'm not racist. I have no problem with anyone advancing in this society. But some people (myself included) are better suited for certain environments. We can't blame our shortcomings on others.

Weren’t these the same people mocking Tea Party boycotts?

[Iron Munro]

Boxers or briefs? I really didn’t want to know... I’m trying to know if they know what the underwear showing means..

[Feckless]

Are they threatening not to buy anything....

....or not to steal anything?

[Blueflag]

Funny pick, but cherck his waistband. Pistol.

[Red in Blue PA]

Good luck with that!

Effing morons.

[pallis]

Because their EBT cards are all used up.

[MeshugeMikey]

ya know I did not see that when making the 'banner" hers the REAL DEAL on the streets of NYC!

I think black Americans have little idea of the immense economic drag they are on the country through the staggering levels of crime they commit, the money spent to feed them, house them, and treat their medical problems, and the numbers placed in positions they are not qualified to perform.

The sad truth is if all black Americans disappeared tomorrow, the country would experience a tremendous economic boom. Until we deal with the Black Underclass, things will go on as usual.

[driftless2]

Beat me to it.

. . .after a white police officer evades charges for fatally shooting a black man

Typical MSM - throwing gas on the flames.

[bigdaddy45]

So we’ll call it White Friday now? Fine by me.

[Himyar]

It’s the underclass of all colors that is pulling us down. Trash is trash. It is culture, not color. I know plenty of blacks that are fine people. I know some whites that are spam sucking trailer trash. I’d like all the trash taken out, thank you very much.

[Lorianne]

I already boycott Black Friday shopping anyway.
Can’t think of the last time I shopped on that day.

I don’t like crowds.

[vetvetdoug]

If the blacks boycott Black Friday it will make shopping all over the country safer. Go for it!

[Bobalu]

They labor under the mistaken idea that Black Friday is a money making proposition for mega-stores like Wal Mart and Target.

They lose money on Black Friday!

The less they sell on Black Friday the more $$ they will take in during the holiday season...they have no real competitors in the marketplace.

They have to compete in the circus that is Black Friday to stay ‘in the game’ .... but they don’t enjoy it.

Every shopper that stays home for a Black Friday boycott puts money in the large retailer’s pockets.

The only way to hurt the big retailers is to convince a large number of people to not spend at all or to greatly reduce spending during the holidays...that is not likely.
