Who the hell is Isaiah Washington? Seriously, I’ve never heard of him.

They should try boycotting the police. Dont give the police any business. No robbing, no drug dealing, no shootings, etc etc..

I might support this if those on welfare would also refuse to accept any handouts.

"I'm very sure that within 72 hours from Wall Street to the NFL...Black Lives Would Matter." One thing's certain -- there would be a lot less celebratory dancing after every play in the NFL.

I was wondering how to make this point tactfully. You did it for me. Ditto to what you said.

Plenty of black people where I work. No boycott here.
Black people who work for a living think like any people who work for a living.

Isaiah Washington could probably get more participation if he called on African-Americans to boycott welfare and SNAP benefits. /sarc

That would be like a government shutdown. Seems blacks are the only ones getting hired by our government.
