Tomorrow, Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, people around the country will rush to the stores to begin Christmas shopping. This day is known as Black Friday, because the shopping on this day is so heavy, it makes up for whatever deficit cash flow the store had which kept it in the red all year. Instead of being in a deficit, the stores see huge profits on Friday, because of all the shopping. Hence, it's known as Black Friday. But this year, the anger over police brutality, repeated injustice, and administrations that turn a deaf ear to the cries of th people, have led the the launching of a national campaign to boycott Black Friday, and to abandon the Christmas shopping season altogether, in order to cripple the American economy. How can the withdrawal of the African Americans $1.3 trillion spending power convince lawmakers to do something to stop police misconduct? Our guests today discuss this strategy. Mike Holman with the Stop Mass Incarceration Network, Revin Fellows with the National Black Agenda, and Cassiopia Sledge with TheBlackMall.com.
