you got a better one? we're all ears. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 5
|
one day boycotting is novel |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 8
|
this is not a bad idea at all. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 9
|
with enough time to plan and strategize to make it effective |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 12
|
! |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 10
|
yep, unblack friday |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 11
|
got to start somewhere |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 14
|
he didn't say they can't be convinced to do 1 day |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 16
|
great! so a economic boycott of everything, forever. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 20
|
the bus boycott was how long? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 22
|
381 days. over a YEAR. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 24
|
the reason you won't get 'the whole community' on board for a day |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 21
|
nigga fuck you, im buying my kids shit for christmas. - everyone |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 23
|
"My kid could be dead by Christmas" |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 28
|
poignant |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 33
|
and again this is why the message should come from the pulpit |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 31
|
I'm writing down all of this |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 46
|
The Black Church does NOT have the power |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 53
|
This is the opportunity to get it back |

man i love you d n/m |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 242
|
I think we need to cover it |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 259
|
This is amazing! |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 245
|
This could be a powerful thing. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 44
|
I like that |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 76
|
I like the idea of cancelling Christmas. We can plan now |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 165
|
or Black Friday or Cyber Monday.... |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 18
|
yep. (link) |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 2
|
Is this the same as people doing those gas boycotts? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 3
|
:( |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 4
|
yep. except multiply that by...everything. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 7
|
why do u think it gets the message across? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 13
|
when a business does not get any sales for a day, it hurts. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 15
|
someone mentioned the gas boycott above |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 17
|
i work in the oil & gas industry. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 19
|
but it's not EVERYBODY not buying.... |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 25
|
oh ok |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 26
|
so what is your solution? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 51
|
it has to be more than one day to have any lasting effect |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 87
|
yerp. Same strategy from right after the Rodney King verdict where |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 37
|
lol |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 6
|
how long could y'all go without buying outside of the black community? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 27
|
in most communities you couldn't |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 29
|
shortsighted foolishness |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 30
|
okay so what's your idea? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 56
|
"conscious" blacks are just speaking to other "conscious" blacks. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 32
|
speeches only reaches those who already know about it.. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 34
|
the lack of leadership is the most frustrating thing about this |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 36
|
no shit. do you have a better idea? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 40
|
u shot down imcvspl's good ones |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 42
|
I listed one of them. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 66
|
I think a neighborhood watch drive would be awesome |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 102
|
it's got to be something longterm. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 35
|
excellent point actually |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 47
|
how does this affect police brutality? and murderous police? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 38
|
It gets people to pay attention to more than vigils and marches |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 58
|
does anyone have a better idea? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 39
|
imcvspl points are great though |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 41
|
let's boycott Anheuser-Busch until the |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 43
|
I like this one ^^^ |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 57
|
A-B is a Belgian company though. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 142
|
. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 163
|
police forces in general need to be more directly beholden |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 45
|
we've definitely got to make it about the bigger picture |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 48
|
EXACTLY |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 62
|
I continue to reference the bus boycotts as an example for strategy |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 52
|
hands up united has a good list going |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 81
|
what is the consequence if these demands are not met? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 116
|
Succinct goals are the first priority |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 84
|
Real talk bin |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 55
|
Bang! |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 59
|
the other reason canceling christmas works is it's feasible. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 49
|
so, y'all wanna cancel Christmas? how to organize it then? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 50
|
Anchor a post about it. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 65
|
not yet... let's keep talking first |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 77
|
Muthafucka for what? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 69
|
also, we can start organizing the cancel christmas campaign on OKP. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 54
|
but WHY are we canceling Christmas? What is the relationship between |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 61
|
!!!!! |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 63
|
I'll be back abby, give me a few. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 67
|
while you're at it, try to address the questions in #52 if you can |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 68
|
Cancelling Christmas is symbolic |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 92
|
whats the relationship between ALS and ice water? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 70
|
Nothing. It's just a challenge |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 73
|
The ice-water element was merely a viral marketing tactic to drive |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 74
|
Exactly. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 135
|
i've heard it said that the way you feel when ice water is dumped on you |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 86
|
It's supposed to mimic the symptoms of ALS. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 88
|
I thought I heard b/c the sensation you feel when you go numb |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 100
|
I'm kinda spitballing here. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 72
|
those are great slogans and sentiments, but without strategic intent |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 75
|
what's the connection between the founding fathers and obama care? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 78
|
to compel people en masse, it has to make a lot of sense |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 79
|
christmas is not just about buying things, so be more specific |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 64
|
the problem is it's not affecting the target directly. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 83
|
They're so insulated we cannot. We CAN hurt big biz |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 140

yes. |

Marvel Team-up! |

Aug 26th 2014 | 210
|
^^^^^ yep! |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 209
|
Man, all of this!^^^ |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 240
|
Definitely |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 269
|
What's the goal? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 71
|
Canceling christmas is a great idea |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 80
|
I have an idea: Black book drive. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 82
|
This would be a great alternative to gifts for xmas |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 85
|
It could be cool to fold the book drive into Cancel Christmas |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 104
|
i think we should blacklist one big ass company each month. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 89
|
I was thinking certain companies should be targeted during christmas |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 98
|
yep thats even better: maybe 3 companies per mos? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 101
|
4 add Garner in there. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 149
|
*smacks forehead* yep. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 172
|
I don't see how that would compel law enforcement to GAF |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 90
|
Can I say how happy this post makes me! |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 91
|
Yup, I think the messaging could be made direct |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 93
|
A great slogan or marketing tool can take a little thing |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 109
|
I'm trying to think of things people could to replace gift giving |

I like the black books suggestion below n/m |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 132
|
I like it but I don't think it will be very compelling to the masses |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 137
|
I agree, I think it needs to be a month(s) of planned activities |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 151
|
How about xmas and every consumer holiday after that? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 167
|
The 12 days of Xmas parallel a 12 step program |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 157
|
Ow...Yes!!! |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 160

I like this |

Aug 26th 2014 | 95

love it. |

thats a good idea |

i like it. |

this is great |

yes. |

Karenga tried to create a Christmas alternative with Kwanzaa |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 96
|
Karenga was complicit in the deaths of black freedom fighters |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 99
|
which has zilch to do with why Kwanzaa is dismissed |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 107
|
It is for me cause my folks died n/m |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 108
|
That's cool but not the topic at the moment |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 115
|
which has nothing to do with the principles of Kwanzaa nm |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 110
|
Can we focus on starting something new in this post? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 111
|
my point: black folks are generally hesistant towards anything "new" |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 117
|
Thanks. :) |

Preliminary Artwork I just whipped up |

That smacks me in the face |

Aug 26th 2014 | 105

I mentioned in another post |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 112
|
That's very striking and effective. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 114
|
nice creative. Might be more compelling if it said "your kid" or "our ki... |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 120

I like the poster, it would be an effective ad. |

What is the importance of giving gifts at Xmas? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 133
|
tradition, family, consumption. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 155
|
imcvspl stated above that we could move christmas |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 166
|
Like i said: asking people to change behaviors w/o a clear benefit. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 179
|
i think the black dollar is very powerful |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 189
|
It's not punishment, it's a return to our core values as a community |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 191
|
Which are? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 197
|
Going back centuries, the black community has consistently |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 200
|
So what are the core values? Are the childless excluded? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 212
|
Survival through adversity. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 232
|
Good luck. |

Because if we don't get this fixed it could be your child next. |

please answer each of the questions that I posed |

Aug 26th 2014 | 177

That's why it's important to begin now, I agree the kids are hard |

i wish you all well. |

i'll take a stab... |

Aug 26th 2014 | 192

would have to get son and daughter on board wayyyyyy ahead of time |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 190
|
Here's your answer. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 193
|
this is the beginning of some good answers. i still do not see a |

Corporations are profit machines. THIS is why they've bought congress. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 252
|
imcvspl just said that that's NOT the purpose. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 256
|
we're still talking rather than rushing to try to do |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 257
|
my thoughts on not trying to force corporate hands |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 258
|
It's not antipathy, its about accountability. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 264
|
Strategically yes, we just don't have to make it a bullet point |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 268
|
Ah, you're talking about message. Gotcha! |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 273
|
I don't think enough has been said about our PAIN |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 274
|
Sorry. Actually they are helpful questions to think about. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 207
|
I definitely agree with 'Your' |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 143
|
Actually pretty dope. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 144
|
cool. will update with "your" |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 171
|
|
another i'd suggest- "b/c our kids might not be here for Christmas" |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 453
|
How is it possible not to buy food at least, unless yall fast? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 119
|
Pretty sure it was established food is a go |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 122
|
We're talking Christmas gifts. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 127
|
Oh, I was responding to the OP's original proposal of Sept 8 |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 138
|
people always want this nationwide shit. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 121
|
This is a show of force |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 126
|
Exactly. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 129
|
It's a nationwide issue that affects everyone locally |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 131
|
"It's a nationwide issue" <--What is "it," though? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 136
|
I think what your missing is |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 141
|
same things i said in my initial reply: |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 148
|
That's my point, they're broad... |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 158
|
How are you going to come up with a solution before you have a cause? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 199
|
the cause is known |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 219
|
I said more in #84 |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 147
|
YES...and it takes a *lot* of work |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 139
|
this the age of aquarius tho. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 173
|
Can we still accept xmas gifts from white people? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 124
|
I like the idea of protest through the month of december |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 130
|
White folks should participate too! |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 224
|
I'm too down to cancel Christmas and I will tell every person I know... |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 134
|
If this is gonna happen we have to organize a campaign |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 146
|
Agreed |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 153
|
This is where the paralysis by analysis comes in |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 156
|
It doesn't have to be workshopped to death |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 169
|
Yeah, I kinda agree. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 174
|
Word. Let's focus on getting a working framework up |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 181
|
Yo, if you aint part of the solution stfu and go elsewhere. Seriously |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 150
|
Here here |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 161
|
Seconded. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 162
|
This is kind of the point though... |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 178
|
You're talking about diffuse power tho. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 184
|
National campaigns almost always rely on coalitions |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 195
|
I'm down w/coalitions. I just think we need a framework. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 196
|
I agree with this, the same way Million Man March was organized. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 205
|
The Million Man March was organized by a coalition of local groups |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 214
|
There are thousands of groups developing frameworks |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 208
|
framework(s) is the problem. Again, Diffuse power. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 216
|
I think my last post addressed that point about frameworks |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 221
|
It did. I simply disagree. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 225
|
You assume there aren't people here connected to those movements |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 227
|
exactly. that is my plan as well. |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 229
|
That's a fair point...I did assume |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 238
|
This is a chance for people to learn... |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 230
|
All your points are fair |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 247
|
are you familiar with IMPACT? |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 250
|
I'm not familiar with them |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 253
|
coolio :) |
