Not sure where they went from making sure cops were on the up and up to directing folks on where to spend their money this season but, money is probably involved somewhere for them.....something tells me they are going to be vocal this holiday season and need a headline or two.

BLM is becomming a real punch-line now for jokes. Worse for them, they are simply irrelevant.
I like and agree with what you said.

Unfortunately, there will be some innocent victims from BLM actions no matter what color you are.

I feel sorry for the students they interrupted during their classes at you pick the university. They did it at Dartmouth and others. Those kids/kid's parents are paying fortunes to send their kids to those schools and because almost all College Professors have the spine of a jellyfish, they allowed them to take over.

Christ, at least at Kent State, they had to lose 4 students to make a senseless point. Now? They simply complain and the faculty folds like a cheap chair all in the name of pensions and tenure. Sad....sad....so much for learning ANY ethics at left wing campuses....disgraceful....but, I digress.

There are better ways to make your point. Boycotts can truly backfire. Nothing says vengeance more than one race avoiding the other SIMPLY because of their race. You would think BLM of all groups would know that considering the 1960's and prior.

Irrelevant.....BLM is simply a hate group disguised as useful.......dismissed.

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.

Black Lives Matter plans a boycott of white-owned businesses | On Air Videos | Fox News


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.

That is a good way to build your own communities and drive the diversity out.
According to the black guy, the white guy did that for 100 Centuries.

Easiest way for white business owners to combat this outrage.......

Declare that they are boycotting the black customers, that should bring a wave of lawsuits and racist tirades from BLM almost instantly.

Now if we could only get them to boycott their government assistance, we'd really be in business.

They could start their protest of all things white and oppressive by getting the **** off the internet. You know that bastion of white privilege.

Racism and bigotry is kept alive and well due to BLM. They become irrelevant when racism goes away (much like race pimps such as Sharpton, Jackson, Obama).

In this day and age, you would hope that racist, hate groups like this would be universally condemned.

Thanks for posting news over 1 year old already and not making it transparent. Are you a Russian troll?

Him, who is organizing the boycott? I'd like to send them a list of white-owned liberal companies.
