encourages Black people, people of color and allies to avoid spending money on July 7, 2020 - no purchases online or in-store - unless it is a Black-owned business.— Zeta Phi Beta July 6, 2020 The #BlackOutDay2020 campaign started in early May following the February 23 vigilante killing of Ahmaud Arbery in Brunswick, Georgia, and the March 13 police shooting death of Breonna Taylor in Louisville.

Good idea... if they focus on specific result desired.

CNN is now black propaganda website

Nobody noticed

But will they still break windows and rob? If not , it may be a push!

Don't buy Nike and Adidas anymore, as well as iPhone. So, I am safe on the road with them.

What Black business? They burned them all 🔥

It would be interesting if it happened that America didn't need Blacks money or anything else any more.

So faster and shorter lines? Sweet!

Is our economy segregated?

And?

I’m in!

Good luck and I hope it includes not watching FNN

No

Don't they realize that the trillions of dollars that they spend The sales tax The sales tax will come back to their communities to benefit the people in those communities Wake up separatism never works

The left already tried that before the scamdemic... didn't make a dent 🤣

This is pure and rampant racism like the world hasn't seen since 1930's Germany... How can you even start to think it's ok to favor one race's business over another?

Yay, let’s go shopping. Stores will be less crowded.

Your money is your money...you're free to spend it where you want.

What about the ones that were burnt down by BLM rioters?

But they burned those down

Hey racist CNN! They burnt and destroyed black-owned business remember? My green-backs don’t see colors.

No Thanks I will spend my money supporting my Latino community!

self imposed segregation? ironic, given the circumstances

so this is not racism?

nicht kauf auf Juden part 2

So they plan on stealing and looting as usual ? Nothing new

I hope they stay home forever.

SIMPLE, THEN WHITE BUSINESSES SIMPLY HAVE A WHITES ONLY DAY WHEN BLACK CUSTOMERS ARE REFUSED ENTRY, SEEMS FAIR ENOUGH.

Too bad white democrats have been encouraged by cnn to go into cities and destroy black owned businesses

Bennydontmiss

Discrimination. Somebody higher or the media is trying to divide the country.

SethAbramson Finally. The only way to hurt the powerful in a capitalist state is to limit purchases. I've been saying this for years. Buy what you need to live and that's it.

Sounds like a racist act of malice. Should all colors just shop at their own races business to register their races agenda tomorrow?

I BET ALL OF THE BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES THAT WERE BURNT TO THE GROUND BY THE RIOTERS COULD USE THAT MONEY TO FEED THEIR FAMILY AND REBUILD THEIR BUSINESS.. ALL OF THE CORPORATIONS THAT FUNDED THE RIOTS DISH OUT SOME BILLIONS AND PAY TAXES ON IT .

I have a generator. How long is the black out? ....wait people are...ah ok. Not spending money?! I thought they were oppressed ( including financially)? I just gas up my generator 🤦‍♂️

Shop on Black Friday.

Lol, nobody will notice.

So on Tuesday there will be lots of online sales! That’s great for other shoppers 👍🎉

So racist and divisive. You guys can't look at 3rd world nations and see oh that'd messing them up. You got to try it for yourselves. Lol.

Inclusion is the answer not segregation. I have definitely seen a growing black supremacy movement. I guess for every action...

How about we ALL COME TOGETHER NO MATTER OUR COLOR and help businesses that were destroyed during 'protest'!? Imagine what we could accomplish together!!

That’s so fucking racial

So what about all of the intermixed race kids..... half black and half white ...like Obama was and many are today. Half Hispanic and half black? Half Asian and half black....... be careful singling out 1 race because most are very mixed now. I take offense to this crap!

BLM was started by Marxists and their end game is communism. They are funded by elite white liberals and are using Black people to further their sick agenda. If communism is implemented, no more Black churches, Black businesses or black families. BLM will destroy them.

There money is the tax payers money anyway sorry free loaders

It’s a shame that many of these black owned businesses were looted and destroyed.

All white people should go spend like hell and make it the best day ever for stores, just be sure to carry your gun

They should or in black community. I get insults taunts but I Do try to spend money in majority black community this IS how you take your comminty back

IN

Tons of black owned bus. in my town are boarded up so I guess I will take my brown kids to White Castle on Tues. in the next town over & remind them they live in the USA & they aren’t chained up, over dark meat patties, white buns & oreo shakes. Fucking over this racial division!

Trust me... they’ll still be buying weed, crack & yak.

The most stupid idea sponsored by the sick CNN, stop buying CNN subscriptions...

This is definition of racism isn’t it

What a racist event... SMH!

FinancialManna Rascism at it’s purist form...what if whites on shopped at white only...

Well, be sure and stay out of Target, Walmart, Dollar General, Costco, and Sam's.

How funny

There is a better way to spin this CNN how about we support black owned businesses and on July 7 we wanted to have everyone spend money at a blacked owned business. Naw you had to race bait it. Classy

I got 45minutes to start shopping. This color thing is getting ridiculous.

We should all join in together tomorrow and that will make a very big difference... retweet to join and let us all come together ❤️

And of course this ISN'T racist? DAMN!

🤣😂🤣😂

So, are people supposed to think blacks are indeed different as other Americans now?

Thank God. No line at Chick-Fil-A.

So-Blacks are oppressed hence limiting their success so the protest is not to spend the money they are oppressed from making. Plot twist it’s okay if they spend their money at a Black owed business. Hopefully they can find one that hasn’t been destroyed by looters.

Imagine the change that would occur if that energy was put into exposing the criminals & gang members operating in their families & communities. First things first. Physician, heal thyself!

SethAbramson Im in.

Segregation is fun isn’t it!

Just spend it the next day

the new racism. welcome.

Crack Dealers are in for a BIG $$$ DAY!!

Ill buy what i want when i want where i want. Sorry.

But there all closed because rioters burnt them to the ground.

So, segregation?

Keep looting
