If I had a twitter account (which I don't) I likely would post that I was currently celebrating the holiday and drinking from a cup made from the skull of a dead Apache warrior. Bon Appetit.

I have a feeling that BLM is going to start feeling like that 'Gangnam style' guy in a year or so. The world having gotten over them like a case of the crabs.

I suspect less a case of the crabs and more like a very bad VD. They will never go away.

I never have a thought of buying something according to what race the owner is. BLM has done more to create more racial divide than the KKK could have dreamed of doing.

Well, I don't have a problem with Black folks choosing to deal only with businesses and banks owned/operated by Black people. It's their money and their choices. As long as they do it peacefully, why should I care? They may find that their selections are limited, but that's not my concern.

Thought they burnt all the black owned businesses everywhere they had a riot?

Leroy's Bank and Trust is still there, its now being running out of the trunk of Leroy's 1978 Coupe De Ville.

When I used to coach boy's baseball, we played lots of tournaments in Leesburg Florida. There was a small hole in the wall restaurant there owned by a wonderful black lady and her family that served some of the best down home comfort food I've ever eaten. We went there all the time, and often were the only white folks in the place. We were always treated well and the food was terrific. Amazingly, the skin color of the owner never factored into our dining decision. All of this 'color' BS is stupid.

Wonder if you can get a loan there without an ID?

I used to patronize a local Soul Foods place that served many traditional Southern dishes--I loved the food there. Most of the time when I went there I was the only White person in the place. Never was a problem. It closed a few years ago, or I'd still be going there. (Their collard greens were superb!)

When my barber of many years died a couple of years ago I was faced with finding a new barber. A web search found one located just 1/4 mile from my house, so I gave it a try. All the personnel working there are Black, and most of the clientele, too. I was a little set back when I walked in, but they were all very nice and didn't seem to think a White customer was unusual. They give a good haircut and beard trim, and I like going there. (My original concern was that the shop might only specialize in Afro style cuts, but they handle it all.)

It ultimately shows the only color most people care about is green.

If this country is so horrible and the land is stolen, why don't they leave? There's no laws preventing people from leaving.

Where would the ones we'd like to leave be welcome?

This is exactly what I’ve been thinking about all their continuous tripe. Racist comments and approaching terrorist mindsets.

Of note is the fact that both BLM and the KKK come from the political Left through the Democrat party.

Yes but their collection methods for non payment are rather non traditional.

Whenever I go into any ethnic restaurant if I’m the only white guy there you know the food is gonna be legit. This was much more prevalent when I lived in the Bay Area and worked in San Francisco. But there’s a few small places I’ve found here in the panhandle and trying to find more. Most are Americana diners though.

There various lists of companies that have donated to BLM available. In fact when I started typing into Google “list of companies.. ” the auto fill suggestion for 3rd choice down was BLM. So I’m sure I’m not the only one looking it up.
I bet all but the most leftist of them would love to have their money back around now. Will be curious to see the shareholder lawsuits come. For supporting a commie crew that actively wants to destroy or T least ruin the profits if said companies. Not very conducive to the number 1 priority of any public company which is to enhance shareholder value.

the problem is not them leaving, they know that any place else they go and then try this shit they would be hunted down like feral pigs and have a very unpleasant ending

they count on the fact that no body here in the US will ever hold them personally accountable for their action

It’s more race hustlers and BLM is just another grift. Power, money, fame and an excuse to blame others for their own failures is the motivation.

Excellent point. Not just in Minneapolis, but Ferguson as well.

BLM seems to want to support black owned businesses.. and then burn them, damage them, loot from them, or vandalize them in riots.

BLM claims to be against capitalism, but their founders have no problem accepting the capitalist profits their books and movie deals generate, and then promote Build Black, Buy Black, Bank Black policies... so, in truth, they aren't really opposed to capitalism...they are only opposed to white owned corporations and businesses, or whites making a profit... so, racism.

So, they want it to run like what South Africa is turning in to...

Reminds me of the joke that Rocco tells the boss in the movie "Boondock Saints" where the punch line is "I'll have a coke"

Nope, no racism in BLM.. at all.

It's one thing to encourage shoppers to buy from black owned businesses, but another thing entirely to boycott white owned businesses.

BLM Calls for Boycott of ‘White Companies’ During Holiday Season

By Human Events Staff | December 01, 2021

The Black Lives Matter movement is leading a boycott of “white companies” until New Year’s Day, encouraging supporters to end “white-supremacist-capitalism” by shopping only at black-owned businesses during the holidays.

The boycott is being promoted under the hashtag #BlackXmas and #BuyBlack, among others.

“White-supremacist-capitalism uses policing to protect profits and steal Black life,” an Instagram post by the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation reads. “Skip the Black Friday sales and buy exclusively from Black-owned businesses.”

“We’re dreaming of a #Blackxmas,” the BlackXmas website says. “That means no spending with white companies from 11/26/2021-01/01/2022.”

The organization also urges supporters to move their money out of “white-corporate banks that finance [their] oppression and open accounts with Black-owned banks,” Fox Business reports.

“#BlackXmas challenges us to shake off the chains of consumerism and step fully into our own collective power, to build new traditions, and run an offense as well as a defense,” a blog post announcing the event reads. “Let’s harness our economic power to disrupt white-supremacist-capitalism and build Black community.”

“ The Black Lives Matter movement is leading a boycott of “white companies” until New Year’s Day”.

The type of asshat that BLM attracts aren’t big shoppers, more of big looters. I say GREAT, stay away from businesses you don’t support. And if they come around to steal, burn, or otherwise damage “white” businesses, we reserve the right to pile them like cordwood. Everyone wins.
