Ti calling for a july 7th blackout. Yall down?

[Tookalossfellbackcameback]

Call your boycott a "blackout" and proceed to include Asians, Mexicans and Indians brehs...


When are we going to stop trying to form every kind of minority coalition and ride for ourselves...because I don't give a damn about nobody else's so called "struggle" but ours.

I’m down but these have been proven not to work for 3 reasons
People don’t listen
All of a sudden they remember they needed to get something
People buy twice as much the next day

Sad, just sad smh

This is downright stupid. And for one day too?! Stokely already explained the faults in boycotting.



Boycotts are passive and don't work. You have to instead spend that money on Black things to build them up.

Every 3 months t.i. is saying something dumb

Wasn't he telling black people not to go to some restaurant in atl , then had a meeting with them and said we can go back

Boy gonna be red/white/and blue’d down on the 4th with his family. Spending big bread on fireworks. The 4th of July is one of many white supremacy hellidays. 3 days later he gonna walk around like

His post literally makes no sense at all. So people will buy things they normally do that day the day before or the day after. And it’s not even a top 30 spending day of the year. Completely irrelevant. This has to be a psycop.

he interviewed “Alex jones” the other day. So he might be a paid for shill already. White people think we worship our entertainers. But I hope Black people are waking up and knowing a clown jester from a prophet

He means well but this should be damn near daily where possible. Applies to everyone reading this.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

why the 7th ...n not independence day weekend..3-5

n why not on june 19th we spend black dollars at black business...

That does seem to be more strategic.

Wasn't he the one that advocated to boycott Gucci for only a month or so? Regardless I feel where he's coming from but it shouldn't be just one day and should advocate spending more money with black businesses.

Nah, I get what he is doing.

I think part of the problem is we try heavy lifting without building ourselves up. Years of bad practice has resulted in us getting off code. It will not get fixed over night.

You start with something manageable and work towards strategically targeting companies.

When you know that you can coordinate people to stop shopping at a place, it is easier to place CEOs under greater scrutiny and retaliate when they step out of line. It is easier to promote other options, black options.

Nothing wrong with stopping crime in the community.

I never said it wasn’t but when u the trap king like t.i it’s hypocritical

If we actually unified behind our economic power real change would come quickly. We saw MLK do it successfully with the montgomery bus boycotts.
When white start to figure how much they need us to live their cushy lifestyles they are far more willing to negotiate.
