Racebusters: Black Friday is RACIST!

Racebusters spends a lot of time monitoring the Twitter timeline and pointing out the obvious racism that exists in any opposition to President Obama, his policies, or his supporters. Trust me, no matter what you say about any of these groups, even if it’s not about these groups, like a good liberal, I’ll find the racism in it! The Race Card: Don’t Leave Home Without It!

Once again, the racist Republican corporate fascists have conspired together to cast negativity on people of color. You’d think it’d be enough that racist Republicans celebrate the racist holiday of Thanksgiving by “giving thanks” to their bigoted ancestors for stealing from, oppressing, and murdering Native Americans, right? Wrong. They have also decided to use the biggest shopping day of the year, the day after the racist Thanksgiving holiday, to formulate yet another racist conspiracy. In this overtly racist act, they’ve decided to call the day after Thanksgiving “Black Friday.” Black Friday? Really? Oh, I guess all “black” people trample one another running into the local Wal-Mart looking for Snuggies in a Realtree Camouflage pattern and Taylor Swift CDs, right? Racists.

The hope of these racist right-wing controlled business owners is to tie anything chaotic to people of color. By calling something so chaotic “black”, they seek to strike fear into the hearts of racist white people, reinforcing the negative stereotypes that the right-wing media has already drilled into their racist, hate-filled heads. A sad state of affairs in a world already designed to keep people of color down. Not to mention the idea of a “Black Friday Sale” is merely a subliminal slave auction designed to show their overwhelming support for repealing the 13th Amendment. This would allow them to achieve the ultimate goal of all racist Republicans: the reinstatement of slavery in America.

Using the race card in this way is typical of them. They know that they can’t compete with the successful economic policies of our post-racial President, Barack Obama, so they do what they always do: combine racism and class warfare along with voter intimidation and widespread disenfranchisement in order to steal elections. This is exactly the same way they stole the 2010 midterm elections that allowed the racist Republicans to regain the House. Now they seek to begin their racist 2012 campaign against President Obama by naming a chaotic day after people of color. Sickening.

I am outraged by this and will not sit by and allow this to happen. I, along with leaders of the NAACP, SCLC, UNICEF, NBA, UFC, BVD, and QVC have united together to stop this miscarriage of justice. We must boycott all stores that embrace the racist culture that is “Black Friday.” For only when we stand together, does racism end. Yes We Can!!
