I'm not participating in this. There are better ways to make change or to make our voices heard without hurting others. Do y'all understand that some black people work in a number of these places including my youngest niece who is a recent high school graduate. She works at Wal-Mart and is working hard towards saving up to her own car as well as putting cash aside to pay for some of her own college expenses when she starts next month. Dumb tactics like this can actually hurt our youth who are at least trying to do something with their lives and stay out of the streets. The problem is Law Enforcement in general, the police academy DO NOT and I mean DO NOT teach their recruits how to be sensitive in predominant racial areas nor do they screen some of these fuckers to see if they have a racial bias or if they've been bullied as a teenager and have an ax to grind for revenge. Training is key as well as community building. Some of these police commissioners needs to get the fuck off of their asses and help their officers learn how to build trust and start community based programs such as outreach and also need to get some of these fucked up officers out of the force. Hold them accountable and we need to start holding our elected officials responsible as well. We're paying their salary as tax paying citizens. Boycotting will only hurt innocent people who didn't do shit to anyone. Think about it. We have the power to be the change in this country. Most of us are in our 20s and 30s, we can do it. All we have to do is use strategic planning and work towards making a change for our future and for the younger generation. We have to set an example for them.
