I will continue to hold the principle of freedom of movement in conjunction with the non-aggression.
The thread is about 2017....
You went back and looked for something to place your fear upon. Facts are nothing happened this year so the idea that it would was a fantasy. And if you hold such principle then you should be sure to apply said principle to everyone. Shoppers have no more principles than protestors. All people are people unless, you pick sides and chose to pick and choose who can and should have rights and principles.
The nazis also felt it was necessary to boycott Jewish stores because of "Jewish privilege". Nothing good comes out of this.
If they were in America, they'd have a right to do so and as long as they didn't cause any violence or problems, then I'm fine with them too. Nazis and white supremacists here in America hold protests all the time BTW.
BLM says to only shop at Black owned business and donate only to black organizations for Christmas.
Hmmmmm.....
How about BLM and their supporters stay out of all schools, Toys for Tots, welfare programs, houses, hospitals, etc that all whites created and built and funded with their tax money!!!!
Or one could move to the country of their “Roots”
Considering they sure seem to be advocating segregation. Video Link
Black Lives Matter activists in Chicago plan on blocking white-owned business entrances from consumers on Black Friday in order to push consumers to patronize businesses owned by "people of color and women."
Black Lives Matter, local churches, and the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression plan on blocking stores parked along Michigan Avenue from consumers "to draw attention to a wide range of issues, including police shootings, racism and economic inequalities that keep Chicago's South and West sides mired in poverty and violence," reports Crain's Chicago Business.
According to Black Lives Matter leader Kimberly Veal, a major function of the protest is to force consumers to forgo shopping at businesses owned by white people, white men in particular, and instead shop at venues owned by "people of color and women."
“One of the cornerstones about why we’re boycotting on Black Friday is to attempt to redirect people to businesses owned by people of color and women, and explain why it’s important to patronize these businesses,” said Veal.
Frank Chapman, a protest organizer, is expecting huge numbers this year, thanks in part to the election of Republican Donald Trump.
“We’re expecting a bigger turnout this year, though this is not an exact science. The reason we’re looking for a bigger turnout is that Trump is the president-elect and, boy, are people pissed,” explained Chapman.
Although a major goal of the protest is to hurt the businesses of white store owners, Chapman contends that the members of the "white working class" will not be vilified too; they will be welcome to join the targeting of white store owners.
“We’ve been calling everyone who has a grievance: the African-American community, Latino people, the white working class,” he said. “I’m not going to write the white working class off as racist.”
Last year on Black Friday, Black Lives Matters and other left-wing groups protested their grievances across America by blocking consumers from entering stores. Shouts of "Shut it Down!" from protesters flooded the streets as consumers attempted to enter businesses to shop.
Earlier this week I saw a young female wearing a BLM t-shirt and she was white and next to her was a black male. Both were dressed well and came out what is considered a higher end mall in Tampa.
There is another mall in Tampa that has the nick name "Ghetto" mall and that's for a well known reason and many stores have closed down like for example; Dillards, JCP, Forever 21, and many more stores have been replaced for short term tenants. I guess BLM followers don't spend too much money to support the stores over there.

How could she have been well dressed if she was wearing a BLM tshirt?
Yeah that's pretty bad when JCP and Forever21 shutdown as they are some of the lower priced retailers out there .
I have no problem with blacks giving preference for their business to black businesses. They should do this all year round and support black enterprises.
If the Blm block or threaten shoppers, however, the protestors should be arrested.
What if whites took the same stance? Would that be racist?
A lot of the white people I know do so already without consulting me for my opinion. The Jim Crow South didn't go away in 1964, it just took a nap. It's still alive and kicking here in South Carolina.
Both ends of this coin are just bad in my opinion. If you only see one side then that's on you.
