    Ummm I needed a little more advance notice about this. And maybe some promotion to remind me. It’s also unrealistic to think Black folks won’t shop at three major retailers. I’ve waited six weeks to replace a bedroom tv!

    Now, I would totally get behind something like buying items and posting the receipt (to show Black purchase power) for Starbucks or boycotting H&M’s kids clothes (for the Coolest Monkey tshirt fiasco) and earrings (false accusations of shoplifting) but naw to the broad, unfocused old-style tactics.

    This will be super easy as I have never and will never buy anything on a Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Hump That Wednesday/Throwing Shade Thursday.

      You go out of your way to mention that as much as possible this time of year, don’t you?

      No. I’m usually holed up in bed reading -- pretty much forgotten while the rest of the family and friends join the shopping hoardes.

    Entering my 43rd year of boycotting Black Friday sales.
