I give up. Maybe this is satire?

Boy, I sure hope they don’t get confused and stop using toilet paper.

I disagree. It doesn't make that much sense.

Thank you.

Again, what does Koch have to do with the Trayvon case?

Not to mention, Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges.

I don’t get it. Would someone please explain this to me.

I can explain it to you, but to understand it, you'll need a lobotomy.

Fine.

A very small percentage of 13% of the population.

Let 'em raise all the Hell they want.

“...boycott any busineses with black employees.” Like the NBA or the NFL?

At the very least, insist on hiring parity. One white basketball player for every black basketball player. Heya!

Sorry, but these individuals are just plain stupid.

Since 93% of African-Americans voted for a lawless commie (twice) I already refuse to do business with any African-American. Not because they are black but because they are commies. Why should I undergo the effort to find out if an African-American businessman is one of the 7%? They need to make that known themselves if they want my business.

You said it.I also used to care but don’t anymore.

The whining,the accusations of racism,the self pity,and the crime in black communities has completely turned me around.

Time to stop feeding the monster, them.

They are showing their true colors (no pun intended). Losers and whiners, with attitudes that will guarantee permanency at the bottom of the socio-economic barrel.

A group of African-American activists, community leaders and college professors are calling for the boycott of Koch Industries as a way to honor slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin, pushing for continued dialogue on race relations nationwide.

WTFO?

Koch Industries is so heavily dependent on the industrial purchasing of American blacks, isn’t it.

Uhhmmm, on second thought .........

I was just being flippantly sarcastic, but now that I think about it some, not only would the point get across, but such a change in shopping by a large number would really help all those little mom and pop businesses. The major chains and box stores all have to adhere to equal employment laws - except for the NBA or NFL...

I get my boots shined by black guys. Last time, the guy was going on about government overreach and too many laws, and complained about Obama being worthless. I tipped him very well.

Can we get our EBT cards back then since they won’t be needing them while they boycott?

Just print the packaging names in cursive. They won’t know what to do.

I know you were being sarcastic but I wasn’t. If at all possible I don’t do business with any commies or their supporters.
