    Black Lives Matter calls for month-long boycott of ‘white companies’ | Fox Business

    Good luck with that. I don't think they've thought through the end result of racially-segregated shopping. Maybe they just don't have a grasp on the demographics of our country.

    "white companies"?
    What is that?

    About 99% of "companies"?

    Sounds like an Andy Ngo stunt.

    Their prerogative.

    My questions would be, who made the goods that are being sold by 'Black Only' businesses? Who Funded the 'Black Only' businesses that are in business?

    Likely not just Black people. As diverse as this country is, there is likely every conceivable race of people involved in the different steps of product to sale.

    Sounds good.



    Anyway, to the topic, obviously this "boycott" is completely absurd and a non-starter.

    I do agree with that point, HD.

    This "boycott" is ridiculous (and it will have less impact that a Hummingbird Burp in a Hurricane).

    Although, the timing of this article does beg the question:

    I know that the Fox link is from today (and time-stamped 5 hours ago), BUT:

    The BLM IG Post (that this article is based around) was Posted 5 DAYS AGO (on Nov.26th).

    "White-supremacist-capitalism uses policing to protect profits and steal Black life," reads an Instagram post by the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. "Skip the Black Friday sales and buy exclusively from Black-owned businesses."

    "We’re dreaming of a #Blackxmas. That means no spending with white companies from 11/26/2021 – 01/01/2022," the BlackXmas website says.
    ___________

    So here is the question:

    WHY did Fox News wait for 5 Days to bring this Unfathomable Situation to everyone's attention?

    Either
    1) It really isn't that big of a deal...
    Or
    2) It was a Really Slow Day for RW Faux Outrage Material...:bored:

    LOL. A month long hunger strike. Should help with the obesity epidemic.

    BLM posted this boycott on Instagram, which is ran by two white guys. Irony at it's finest...

    I was curious about this too. Are they only going to do their "flashmob" smash-and-grab mass robbery / looting to black-owned businesses this month?

    Well, three of those 5 days were what amount to 3 days of a 4-day weekend (I know, technically the Friday after Thanksgiving isn't an official federal holiday, but it's probably the least-worked non-holiday in the entire year). You've got to wait for people to get back in to work to research, write, edit, and publish. It all takes time. A Wednesday after it was first announced doesn't seem terribly out of the realm of realistic expectations to me. Quality reporting takes time.

    One of these days black people as a whole are going to realize that they are used and abused by white liberals for white-liberal political gain. Without the black vote, white-liberal politics get tossed in the trash. That’s a fact.

    And white businesses should stop serving black people for all of 2022.

    Yes, my statement is as ignorant and racist as the BLM. Total morons! Hatred begets hatred. Careful the path you take. The more we divide, the more divided we will be until there is no turning back. God help us!

    So laughable. Literally everything these clowns own and use was invented by either a white or an Asian. Their computers, cell phones, cars, plumbing, heating/air… literally everything. Maybe they would prefer eating mud cookies in Africa?
