Momentum is building on social media to boycott the Black Friday sales in order to hit corporate America "where it hurts" over the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown.

The Justice for Michael Brown Leadership Coalition is organising the 'No Justice, No Profit' boycott campaign on Thanksgiving Day (27 November), through to Sunday. Black Friday is traditionally the day that kicks off the Christmas buying period with retailers across America offering big discounts to jump-start the busiest shopping days of the year.

Fixed it.

Free at last of the threat posed by thugs from the ‘hood, the malls will teem like never before.

[Hattie]

Hahahaha. What a great idea. I’m boycotting it too. Waiting for Cyber Monday.

Wow wouldn’t that be great. Just think how nice it would be without the thugs shopping. Not only that the businesses could give their security guards off as shop lifting would drop greatly.

[MNDude]

that’s what I was thinking! I hate Black Friday. Now am I becoming united with these buffoons if I don’t shop on Friday?

[Salvation]

We need to be hitting the stores to counter this ridiculous boycott.

Businesses didn’t cause Ferguson the black thugs did.

Last year in NYC on Black Friday heard this sales pitch from a street
vendor.

Today is Black Friday, which means you must buy from me because I’m black :):)

I haven’t been Christmas shopping on ‘black’ Friday for about 35 years, if they boycott, I’ll go.

**Everyone who thinks this grand jury decision was wrong,**

But it was right!

[MNDude]

Very racist to boycott BLACK Friday.

[MrB]

Well, yeah... but anyone who thinks otherwise needs to stay home on “Black Friday”.

Sounds like a great idea.

[LibertarianLiz]

So, they won’t steal their merchandise for that day? Hoorah!

[pierrem15]

Seems like a “loss prevention” measure to me.

[eclecticEel]

I’ve been boycotting black Friday for a decade now - once in my lifetime was enough, never again.

[tbpiper]

Shoplifting would be down.

[petercooper]

Morons bump.

[defconw]

LOL, TMI! Mom!

[defconw]

I am trying to decide what to buy. I have to work that day, so whatever it is, it will have to be a quick in and out.

[Tax-chick]

Oh, I didn’t mean for you to visualize.
