    "A Black Lives Matter chapter is launching a “Black Xmas” initiative to urge people to buy from black owned businesses during the holidays to “resist white capitalism.”

    Black Lives Matter Los Angeles called on people to refuse to buy from white owned businesses and take that money to invest in the black community from Nov. 25 to Jan. 1. 2018. The boycott serves as an attempt to resist President Donald Trump and his ties to white capitalism, the group added.

    “Donald Trump embodies White capitalism. If you are anti-Trump, you should hold back your resources from him and the like,” the organization said on its website.

    Dr. Melina Abdullah, a Black Lives Matter organizer and professor of Pan-African studies, further explained that the boycott is rooted in Black Lives Matter’s attempts to get rid of state-sanctioned violence, that is often found in “white-supremacist capitalism.”


    “This season, more than all others, Black Lives Matter is asking people to wake up, to be conscious of our own economic power, and to protest – not just in the streets – but in the malls,” Adbullah wrote in a 2016 op-ed for The Los Angeles Sentinel. “Black Lives Matter is dreaming of and building for a #BlackXMas, where we divest from White corporations and invest in building Black community. Rather than lining the pockets of Trump and other White-supremacist capitalists, donate to Black-led organizations that are building new, liberatory structures in our communities.

    Nothing racist about this, at all. But at least you can feel safe knowing that when you're out shopping this Christmas season, you don't have to worry about violent BLM thugs attacking you for being white. Thanks for the black Christmas, BLM, because of that everyone else can safely enjoy a white Christmas. I'm not sure how many nice stores they'll be able to shop in this year, but I'm quite sure it'll be limited.

    Because they're too stupid and too emotional to cope with STEM.

    Owned by white people? Which is great. They can boycott the local factory, where only the boss is white and the 300 employers are black. That oughta work out well.

    Help out for a moment, what point are you trying to make? Because of the source, are you trying to deny BLM exists or that they're racist and hate white people?

    I'm betting white shop owners are thrilled about the possibility of having less shrinkage this Christmas Season.

    Did you check out the link to the LA Sentinel? If white people refused to shop at black owned businesses, not only would there be yuge cries of racism, but those businesses would go under in about a week.

    I don't think the black economy can support a black only world. Off the top of my head I can't think of a single wealthy or upscale black country or city in America.

    Simple, don't believe things you read without assessing the credibility of the source.

    Have you noticed that the groups with all the special people in them are allowed to cluster themselves and keep everyone else out, but if two white guys are standing on the same corner at the same time they get jammed for not being inclusive?

    I also notice which people are using racist slurs. I prefer to be referred to as a Saltine American! If BLM really cared about saving black lives, their main focus would be on other black people.

    I, too, would be curious to know the answer to vman12's question.

    You are claiming or insinuating from your comments that the story is false because it was penned by The Daily Caller? So can you expound on that claim?

    Also; Since when did those on left care if a story was false or not?

    Fine, then don't say it is false until you have evidence for that.

    Vman12 did link a virtual replay of the story from the BLM's own website. That was enough vetting for me.

    Except - The National Enquirer broke the Rush Limbaugh Oxycontin case. Also the Jesse Jackson Love Child Story, and the Gary Hart Scandal. Heck, it was bloggers that took down Dan Rather and exposed Reuters. While the source might be considered, perhaps the actual merits of the story should be even more so?

    You may not have clicked the second link.................the "false" you are fixated on is from the copy & paste. The source of the article is sub par in factual reporting hence, their reporting accuracy is questionable.
