A social media campaign calling for a boycott on spending this Black Friday has caught the attention of celebrities.
In an effort to protest the Missouri grand jury’s decision on Monday not to indict officer Darren Wilson for the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in August, US celebrities have taken to social media to use the hashtags #NotOneDime, #BlackoutFriday and #BlackoutBlackFriday to advocate for a retail boycott. They include actors Michael B. Jordan and Jesse Williams, Fruitvale Station director Ryan Coogler, actress Kat Graham, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons and journalist Soledad O’Brien . The hashtags are meant to encourage people to stop shopping on the biggest retail day of the year as a protest against police brutality.
The campaign was started by a grassroots group called Blackout for Human Rights, which aims to “to raise awareness that builds and maintains pressure on the instruments of power until we are satisfied that the current threat has passed.” The group has hopes to “make Black Friday (November 28, 2014) a nationwide day of action and retail boycott.”

What are you demonstrating against? The Constitution? 900 years of English Common Law? Due Process? The orderly gathering and presentation of evidence? Testimony under oath?
Do you want Mob Rule? Tribal justice where if you're innocent or guilty depends if you're caught by the Hutu or Tutsi?
F'n Morons.
Everyone in Hollywood is a PC leftist. I know people who have to hide their political affiliation because they are conservative (name-dropping without names).
In my area most retail workers aren’t white; companies don’t want to hire people who don’t speak Spanish, and the Americans they do hire often aren’t white anyway.
The town just north of me lost its KFC; there simply wasn’t demand for the product. The workers let go weren’t white...
isn’t it interesting that AFLAC is now very peripheral to the whole Obama care thing ? quack quack
Too bad exec pilots can’t do political activism ; they have such a captive audience
Celebrities?
The names seem to have been extracted from the certainly racist D list. I saw no A, B, or C list names
Oh, and by the way....... Time has degenerated to an H list publication and Megan, bless her heart , is a D list Time writer.
The influence of a D list writer for an H list publication is barely 0
B-list nobodies who won’t have one dime’s worth of impact on National Greed Day.
I haven’t gone shopping on Black Friday for about 10 years. Guess that makes me a celebrity.
He will be playing the formerly white 'Human Torch' in next year's throwaway 'Fantastic Four'; widely expected by comic fans to be one of 2015's biggest bombs. Direct to video???
Will a sharp drop in shoplifting more than offset the reduction in “sales”?
I remember in the late 70’s Jesse Jackson told blacks to boycott Chicago fest and some guy was selling “Thanks Jesse” t-shirts. Capitalism at its best!
I suddenly have this overwhelming desire for waffles and maple syrup this upcoming Sunday. Guess I’ll crank up the fuel guzzler and go shopping for a waffle iron today. Or to paraphrase Admiral David Farragut:
Damn the crowds, full speed ahead.

They want Just-Us. Won’t be happy until someone kills a white cop in the name of the gentle giant.
How many black-owned businesses will suffer as a result?
If you feel it's not safe to be assaulting police officers, I would say DON'T!!
Yes, and they plan to be the mob.
Sharptongue is a joke and a self-satire
lol
