Isaiah Washington tells African Americans to boycott work Monday

[jersey_dude]

Actor Isaiah Washington wants every single African American to boycott work on Monday.


"No work. No school. No shopping for 24 hours," the former Grey's Anatomy star wrote on Facebook.

"Imagine if every single African American in the United States that was really fed up with being angry, sad and disgusted, would pick ONE DAY to simply 'stay at home' from every single job, work site, sports arena and government office in the United States of America. I'm very sure that within 72 hours from Wall Street to the NFL...Black Lives Would Matter. September 26, 2016 is THE DAY."


In his post, Washington used hashtags #RIPTerenceCrutcher #HandsUpDontShoot. Terence Crutcher, 40, was shot and killed by Tulsa police on Sept. 16. after his SUV stalled on the road. His name started trending after video footage released by police circulated showing Crutcher getting shot after being confronted by four officers.

In another post, Washington wrote he teamed up with activist Madelon Blue McCullough from #Missing24. "Every African born in America is fed up, hurt, confused, saddened and angry about the continued extrajudicial killings by public servants in our streets, so collectively we bring forth a solution," he wrote.


The date of the protest is also the day of the first presidential debate, which is expected to be the most watched in history.
Washington says the goal is to "maintain the safety of our people, while significantly impacting America's broken judicial system that is oppressing us by removing our labor, our bodies and our money from it...for 24 hours."

People are using #StayHomeSeptember262016 and #Missing24 on Twitter to voice solidarity with the movement.

This is why I don't watch tv or movies. So they don't buy things one day and then the next day they do. I guess we should short malt liquor stocks.

Black Monday for Newports, philliy blunts, and kool-aid

 

[JustinCruise]

now we need vittard and guessor to come in and applaud them for their "courage"

meanwhile the rest of us are waking our ass up Monday morning and going out to provide for our families.

Defies comprehension how anybody seriously believes that some magical thing is gonna take place and different cultures are just suddenly be able to co-exist and live together in Peace.

 

[Seymour]

The best is they have 2 cases right and they choose to defend a dude with 14 arrests one being for assault with a gun rather than protest in Tulsa where a guyear had no business being shot

 

[thecentaur]

I think whites should refuse to pay income taxes this year to protest black on white crime. Everyone that gets a w-2 switch your withholding exemptions to the maximum.

 

[michael777]

they wont boycott cashing their welfare checks,you can bet on that!

 

[Wisenheimer]

There's no protest that will help the Black/White or Black/Cop situation.......it will always be looked at negatively or laughed at as you can see in this thread......Blacks don't need to take. Monday off from school and work they need to start their Monday with the idea that doing the right thing like obeying the law and school rules is what's going to get them thru life hassle free..

 

[Willie99]

boycott work? boycott school? boycott shopping?

bawawawawawawaawawawawawawawaawwawa

many have done that their whole life, that's their fucking problem you fucking idiot

 

[ML Dog]

they wont boycott cashing their welfare checks,you can bet on that!

Now that would be an impressive Protest on their part. If they would refuse the Support those oppressing them provide to them.

Refuse to use their EBT Cards, burn their Welfare Checks and refuse to occupy the Housing provided them by Their Oppressor and, of course, LiveStream all that on facebook.
