Black Lives Matter Plans To Block White-Owned Businesses On Black Friday

Posted By Amber Randall On 9:00 PM 11/24/2016

Black Lives Matter and other groups plan to block white-owned Chicago stores on Black Friday to bring awareness about police shootings, economic issues and alleged racism.

Local churches, Black Lives Matter and the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression will block stores along Michigan Avenue and prevent customers from entering stores for the second year in a row, reports Crain’s Chicago Business.

A big part of the protest is to force on people that it’s important to shop at businesses that aren’t owned by white men, Kimberly Veal, a leader of Black Lives Matter, said. It’s not yet known who owns the businesses that will be targeted as part of this effort.

“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,” Veal explained.

Last year, protesters blocked shoppers from entering stores on Black Friday to protest the death of Laquan McDonald, a black teen shot 16 times by an officer. Dash cam video revealed the teen ignoring officer commands to stop as he walked away from officers with a knife in his hands.

Police had to help shoppers get into the stores; as one person tried to enter, protesters screamed “Shut it down! Shut it down!”

After last year’s protest, stores’ sales were 25 to 50 percent below their expected projections, according to staff and managers.

A sales associate at Aldo said that her store under-performed by $18,000.

“We were down a lot. We were budgeted to make $37,000 but we only did $19,000 — customers told us they were concerned,”said Sarah Midoun.

One of the protest organizer hopes that this year’s protest will have a larger turnout.

“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,”Frank Chapman, a field organizer with one of the organizations involved, said.

He added that not only race brings the protesters together. “We’ve been calling everyone who has a grievance: the African-American community, Latino people, the white working class,” Chapman explained. “I’m not going to write the white working class off as racist.”

Hysterical. Never minding that probably most stores are white owned, never minding that is disgustingly racist and discrimatory, what is to stop the shoppers from just getting in their cars driving a few miles to another chain store?

Look for this to get far worse over the next 4 years.  The 2020 drum beat will be racism and the only way to stop it will be an all black govt and city and state employees because white cannot be anything but racists.


All this leads me to thinking we will see a black woman running for POTUS or VP.  I see MeShell Obama in the race.  Obama has already shown us the never having a job in life or any qualifications at all is not a obstacle, Hilda has shown us that being a criminal, liar and thief does not slow one either.  I would also look for the first LGBT on the ticket also.


Losing their thinking is they just did not go far enough to the left...

Won't be the wookie.

Will probably be Kamala Harris (attorney general from CA recently elected senator).

Same thing as obama previously -- spend the next 4 years as a little- or no-show senator while running for the presidency.

White-owned stores have nothing to do with police shootings

Black lives Matters has little to do with police shootings and everything to do with hating on white folks.

They will also need to track down the racial make-up of shareholders.

The next thing you know, they will demand that these businesses display large "white stars" on their store fronts.  Maybe even paint their "race" on the door!  Seriously, what IS the difference between the sentiments of BLM, as is indicated in these comments, and the 1920/30's National Socialists in Germany?

The worst part is that the normal African American supports these groups, yet they have no idea what they are supporting.  They simply think that BLM is on their side, because of their skin's melanin content.
