So under the "all businesses" boycott he is including the businesses owned by black owners? Or is he a racist to just assume that black people do not own businesses?

It is truly sad that the leaders of some of the protest organizations are such morons ... it just makes folks ignore their comments and protests even more. Wish the press would stop covering the ignorant, but they eat that stuff up for ratings.

Quite honestly, with BLM boycotting businesses, people may actually be more inclined to go patronize those business.

The emcee made a joke that whomever went over their time would be fined or something.

I wonder if the business boycott extened to the people selling BLM merchandise at the "funeral."

And this, folks, is the guy who advises your President on matters of race.

I wonder if the boycott will include Triple S Mart? They may have to amend their special to make it 8 pcs MIXED for $4.99 in order to combat this.

Surprised that Jessie Jackson didn't pop down as well to take advantage of the spotlight.

I'll spend my money when I want, where I want, and in quantities I deem fit, Mr. Sharpton.

why does the president need someone to advise him on race? I mean seriously. Does he have a gender advisor too?

I guess it's cool if they boycott. I couldn't care less. I can't remember the last store or restaurant I've been to that has more than 10% black population. Over a year at least.
