The Black Live Matter movement has announced its seventh year of boycotting 'white companies' during the holiday season to support 'Black Xmas.'
On Black Friday, the official Black Lives Matter Global Network shared an Instagram post calling to 'support Black-led-Black-serving organizations.'
'We're dreaming of a #BlackXmas. That means no spending with white companies' from Black Friday until New Years Day the official blackxmas.org site states.
The group suggest three ways for its supporters to take part in Black Xmas: Build Black, Buy Black, and Bank Black.
The group is encouraging its followers to 'buy exclusively from Black-owned businesses' claiming 'white-supremacist-capitalism uses policing to protect profits and steal Black life.'
It also push its supporters make donations to 'Black-led, Black-serving organizations' in lieu of holiday gifts and move their money from 'white corporate banks (that finance gentrification, prisons, and environmental degradation) to Black-owned ones.'
Black Xmas begun in 2014 in response to the police shooting of John Crawford, a black man who was fatally shot in an Ohio Walmart while holding a BB gun that was for sale in the store.
A post on the Black Lives Matter website list several other names including Steven Taylor, who was also killed inside a Walmart, Yuvette Henderson and Redel Jones, 'Black mothers who were accused of petty thefts before their lives were stolen by police,' and Albert Ramon Dorsey and Dennis Todd Rogers 'who were gunned down when 24-Hour-Fitness locations called in police on Black male patrons.'
A blog post published on the blacklivesmatter.com last week explains: 'Black Lives Matter has been challenging people to 'dream of a #BlackXmas,' to intentionally use our economic resources to disrupt white-supremacist-capitalism and build Black community.'

well hopefully this comes to play. ...that means my local 7-11 parking lot wont be strewn with litter from one side to the other for the holidays!
How many businesses burned down by BLM last year were black owned? When it comes to arson BLM is definitely equal opportunity!
It’s the seventh year and I am just now hearing about it? Boy that’s a movement.
This is similar to the ancient practice of Kwanzaa, that started a few years ago.
Where ya gonna get those fancy sneakers, BOY?
Why would they boycott them? They’re stealing from them constantly.
Once again we see the commie face of these idiots.
Does this include restaurants and movie theaters? Man, I hope so.
Burn, Loot, Murder just keeps getting dumber.
There are no ‘black owned’ firearm manufacturers that I could find. Would be nice if they’d give them up for a month so the media could see who’s doing a majority of the killing.
i’d appreciate it if they put up a schedule.
Why don’t you negroes stop appropriating the English language while you’re at it.
Biden now has an excuse he can use for the decline in Black Friday sales.
What if the products sold by Black owned businesses are made by white owned businesses? Hum?
The McDonald's homepage includes a link it calls, "Black and Positively Golden." McDonald's states its goal here is to "build the next generation of Black Excellence." The McDonald's webpage also includes what McDonald's calls its "Black Information Network ... through the lens of our culture." But isn't the U.S., by law, a color-blind society? So why is McDonald's constantly advertising its "black ... culture?" And if "black ... culture" includes nationwide, violent Black Lives Matter domestic terrorism, why is Corporate America celebrating and promoting violent Black Lives Matter? Can anyone explain that?
So you have McDonald's publicly boasting about all the money it's spending on "black ... culture" (whatever that means) and you simultaneously have the famous black comedian and businessman Byron Allen suing McDonald's for $10 Billion because he claims McDonald's is a deeply, systemically racist company against black Americans. (Again, can anyone explain that?)
No matter what Corporate America does, it will never be enough.
They really should stop voting for white folks.
anyone know how many BOBs there are?
do they have black suppliers?
do the black suppliers have black manufacturers?
this could get complicated
Does that include looting white companies?
