Also, while we are at it lets look at who are some of the largest supporters of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). Unfortunately, many of the folks on this list are the ones who are mainly supporting our institutions.
I'm not telling folks one way or the other how to spend their money, but I will say be mindful of how we use the term of supporting our community and our folks.

I will not participate in this protest. I refuse to put my neighbors who work at the neighborhood Home Depot and Walmarts out of a job. I have encouraged my other neighbors to continue to shop at these stores in our community. We need to support each other and support the police in their efforts to rid our streets of jackholes.

Subject: [WardFive] Boycott
This is one of many emails directed to getting prepared to do something about what is happening.
Good evening.... Black Lives Matters supporters! (BLM) Many of you have received a text about the boycott. We are urging you to do a FULL boycott. Not one at a time but all of them at once!
This is a month long silent boycott. As you know OUR dollars make the country tick. Take away our dollars they will be forced to listen and support this movement. BLM is about MORE than black people being mistreated by the police and judice system but rather ALL people.
Whites, Hispanics, Asians, and other cultures are standing with us. History tells us that marching, singing, and fighting does NOTHING its time to let our money speak for us.
CRASH THE MARKET... not our neighborhoods. Stand with US and be a part of HISTORY!
NO WALMART
NO TARGET
NO QUICK TRIP
NO HOME DEPOT
NO KHOLS
NO MAJOR DEPT STORES
Shop small businesses, black and minority business also ma and pop shops.
Lastly find black owned banks in your area. Support those that support YOU.
THIS WILL NOT BE COMFORTABLE... but keep in mind being target practice is not either. No more talking ...our money will speak volumes.
Pass to 20 people NOW.... No social media
BE SAFE
Friends, please consider and pass it on.
