|
| 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

|
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

|
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 |

| 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 | 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

|
| 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. :) |

| I mentioned in another post |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 112

| That's very striking and effective. |

|
| 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. |

| would have to get son and daughter on board wayyyyyy ahead of time |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 190

| Here's your answer. |

| 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
|
| wow.. well done |
|
Aug 26th 2014 | 262
|
| 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
|
