Black Lives Matter Demand, “Black Friday” be Renamed “BlackLivesMatterFriday”

by Aurelius • 
November 25, 2015 • 

Black Lives Matter plans to boycott Black Friday, claiming that a way to spread awareness of their movement is to hurt the US economy. The group also wants “Black Friday” to be renamed “BlackLivesMatterFriday.”

“Let’s hit America where it hurts!” reads BLM’s website. “I challenge you not to spend one dime on “Black Friday”. Let’s black it out, and make sure not one black face is littering the local mall!”

The group is using the catchphrase “Hands Up, Don’t Shop:”

A Facebook group devoted to the boycott exclaims that “we must slow or stop the american economy around retail Goods [sic].”

It further reads, “Black Friday has been shown as a day were people put shopping before people lives and we are not ok with that especially when hundreds of unarmed people of color are gunned down by police every year with no charges filed against the police officers –we are taking black friday back from the nation and permanently renaming it #BLACKLIVESMATTERFRIDAY.”

They have also posted images like these: *see link*
Black Lives Matters’ website is also calling for a boycott during the entire Christmas and Holiday Season:

Wait. You're telling me that BLM is a formal organization, with members and officers and spokespeople? I didn't know that.

Okay, whatever. If true, this comes under the heading of "how silly, what's for dinner?"

Last night I happened to have the news on and saw several protestors in Chicago trashing a Christmas tree in downtown Chicago. Angered me and reconfirmed for me my disgust for groups such as BLM.

a facebook group,, says it all

but, where is this 'demand'? or is anything on public media now a demand

we are aware ANYONE can post on facebook,,right?

I have a suggestion, parents need to keep their kids educated on how to pick out truth from media sensationalism

now,, was that a 'demand'?

This boycott was started by Louis Farrakhan.....
“So on Black Friday, we won’t be there,” he added “We choose not to spend dollars on Black Friday, Black Saturday, Black Sunday, Black Monday. We are not going to spend our money for the rest of that year with those that we have traditionally spent our money on.”
