I searched, didn't see this topic.

Mods, please delete if I'm piggy-backing.

So anyway:

Imagine if every single African American in the United States that was really fed up with being angry, sad and disgusted, would pick ONE DAY to simply 'stay at home' from every single job, work site, sports arena and government office in the United States of America. I'm very sure that within 72 hours from Wall Street to the NFL...Black Lives Would Matter. September 26, 2016 is THE DAY. #ItsTime #CanWeDoIt? #ACallToAction #StayAtHomeSeptember262016 #RIPTerenceCrutcher #HandsUpDontShoot #Missing24
'Grey's Anatomy' Star Isaiah Washington Urges All African-Americans To Boycott Work | Huffington Post

Yeah...ok.

You should see the comments on this from HuffPo "article" that has been linked to social media sites, such as Face Book, to every other internet rag/news source. The asinine comments from those who support this "movement" that was ignited by a Hollyweird moron (Isaiah W. ) who called a fellow gay employee a very un-politically correct slur that caused
Mr. Isaiah to get fired from his "job".

Some "all for one and one for all" nut jobs are telling gays to stay in their lane, this is a black/slavery issue - do NOT bring up Isaiah's bigotry/why he was fired, it doesn't concern gays; "equal nothin'"

So much stupid in those comments, no wonder Obama won 2 terms.

Would anyone be able to notice much of a difference in many cases, other than there would be one day with very few EEOC complaints? Some people overestimate their importance in this world, apparently

That could be interesting. Especially since there are quite a few at-will states where employers can fire employees for any reason at the drop of a hat.

Some dude said, "So I'll be able to get a full and part-time job on Monday. Thanks arseholes!"

This isn't new. A good 15+ years ago there was a black movement : "don't shop at stores owned by whites".

Hit the town my business is in.

One protester. With a sign on a stick and a big mouth decided to boycott my business.

Had to explain to her that there is a difference between private and public property. I own the property on which my business sits. Told here to go hang out on the sidewalk.

Everyone else (my clientele are black, at least 95%) rolled their eyes at her and a few asked me if I wanted them to tell her to knock it off - 'cause they know she's a moron. No, when she gets annoying I'll call the cops.

So I eventually did - call the cops. They escorted her off the property. The didn't shoot her, because she didn't have a gun or any weapon other than her large, low-info, misinformed MOUTH.

Didn't stop her from yelling her stupid from across the street.

They still didn't shoot her.

Lol...you'd better rethink that idea. Like, really quick.

That won't end well. You think you've got racist tendencies now? You're gonna be a hell of a lot more pyssed off if that happens.

Instead of talking about not working, blacks should be talking about working. Their unemployment is off the absurd. They could easily get some of those jobs that illegals are doing that suspposedly "no American will do."

Try working first!

I thought they were already boycotting work. How come they never seem to boycott welfare and other entitlements?

How would you know? Oh I know....you displaced an illegal alien at one of your local employers, huh?

Which one? Dishwasher, cook, meat packing or vegetable picking?

Because your people don't boycott welfare and other entitlements either, so you're one to talk.

The ones who need to rethink, that idea, like, really quick?

They are the morons who are NOT going to show up for work tomorrow.

This has turned in to a "don't support a business owned by whites" and "don't support corporate America" issue.

How did that happen?

I thought BLM wasn't about white vs. black or biting the corporate hand that feeds you...it's all about blue vs. black?

Now it's white owned small businesses and huge corporations vs. black folks (and cops)?

Where is the guidance in this "meaningful" movement?

Why has is turned out to be a whole lot of tossing **** around to see what sticks?

Get a leader and figure it out.

You know, a leader who isn't playing golf every other day or instigating with his "If I had a son..." BS.
