Another event speaker called for an economic boycott in Baton Rouge. This will be the first step of action for change. They will boycott the Mall of Louisiana and Wal-Mart.


In the news today, Wal-Mart and The Mall of Louisiana both report a drastic decrease in shoplifting.

We have 2 local grocery chains who have been chastised for not putting grocery stores in North St.Louis.

And both have closed stores in North County, because more shite left the store in clothes and pockets than was paid for.

Local idiot activists made all kinds of claims when they closed the stores, yet when one of the d-bag sjw white lawyers was allowed to see the books and saw the store was always in the red, he decided to play a new angle and claim that it's a small donation they should accept, to make sure the people have better stores at their disposal.

They will literally get beat back with facts, and then come up with another asinine agenda.

How is boycotting businesses in BR going to help with black on black killings? It is not white business owners out killing black people, it's their own people.


because the drop in theft losses will outweigh the lost revenue?

Sure, and you will have Uganda, Somalia, The Congo and the like right in America. But then again, we already do via Chicago, Nawth BR and the like. Look at South Africa today, going down the shitter as well.
They cannot govern a community nor a City. Give them a country inside America and that would be a f__k upped affair also.

And yet they have A national commercial about how WHITE store owners put stores in BLACK areas promoting smoking... Serious????? Smoking is A choice.. No matter where any stores are... Its really sad...

YES I am tired of people like Gary Chambers and Jesse when they ONLY show up when it matters to them...

Why weren't they around when the white guy got asulted on Plank road a few years ago by being in the WRONG HOOD......

The "boycott" crowd is laughable. "Reverend" Artis Cash once called for a "hip hop boycott" of the Boardwalk Mall in Bossier City because of the dress code adopted by the Boardwalk. If you tried to get in with sagging pants, etc., you were directed to leave.

So, how do you boycott a place that doesn't want you there in the first place? You are giving them exactly what they want - no ghetto.

The Boardwalk is doing well and has plenty of black shoppers - just no ghetto shoppers.

Time and again, when malls go ghetto, they ultimately fail (witness Southpark Mall in Shreveport).

The kid's question means they should stop listening to the Dems, Gravy's and Marcelle's of the world, right?

This is just a pep rally to keep the natives agitated.

Stoking the fire for when "TRUMP doesn't prosecute the BRPD Officers." Shrewd move by Obama to punt.

You can say culture all you wanted, but that still means race in your usage


You can speak facts about a particular race's cultural issues. It doesn't make you racist.

Black/Hip Hop culture in the south (and arguably elsewhere) struggles with all of the issues I mentioned in my previous post. Show me where my statements about that culture are wrong.

quote:

are you equating a President with the lower socioeconomic classes?


Nope. Go re-read the quote. They were insinuating that they are unable to follow dreams as if they were being held back. The fact that this country elected a black president twice disproves that anyone other than themselves is holding them back. This is true for everyone of every religion, race or sexuality. Some just choose to believe it and others don't.

I never once insinuated myself or any other person was better than someone because of their color/race.

People like you are part of the problem. You're so busy whining about the race card, when people should be focused on the real issue(s) which is personal responsibility and self improvement through self awareness. (not simply brainwashing entire generations that it's improbable that they will be successful solely because of skin color)

I can't understand why it's white people's fault when blacks commit over 50% of the homicides in the US. There isn't shite the white community can do to curb that problem. Until they realize they have an issue they are going to keep finding dead bodies on the street and prisons full of their own. You want to stop it admit you have a fricking problem in you're community is step 1.

They have that excuse covered already. "The system is rigged against them". They aren't really committing crimes more than anyone else, just the only ones being persecuted....errr prosecuted.

Yep. I've had similar problems in my personal life over the years. Struggling in some aspects, and instead of taking responsibility for it, I would blame other factors. The sooner you realize only you control your actions and that life isn't fair, the sooner you start to become better.

This applies at the individual level all the way up to the community/cultural level.
