It was to bring awareness and cause change so that the men or anyone else would have the opportunity to be treated fairly without regards to race. I would boycott any time is fine with me if it can make the change I am seeing. Now this woman needs the same help for the sake of other black people. What they do with the help is not my main concern although it would be nice if they could get it together. It is ultimately an effort in order for you to go somewhere and not be treated as badly as these people.What was the goal of the Starbucks boycott before those two idiots made their deal?
It teaches me how to behave when angered and treated unfairly as I don't want to get in any messed. These videos do not make me feel less than. No race of people scare me and make me feel bad. I feel rather comfortable in myself and feel stronger and more in control when another person think I should be treated badly.I just wanted to make an observation. I read about items like this, but I don’t watch the videos. I see a number of us opt out of watching. Just causes too much trauma. Also, it can affect how one moves and experiences the world. I don’t want to be mad all the time. Any ideas? I’d like to hear a more militant stance. I feel like I’m sheltering my psyche from the stress of seeing black people in real time being abused. My mental health can’t take it.
I don't want to be fair to the worker, but some places require you to call 911 FIRST and state it's a non-emergency.Turtle neck should be fined for calling a NON EMERGENCY in to 911.
Just thinking out loud.....Do we lash out at businesses because we can’t lash out on the Police???
Infiltration is hard though; the black cops who stay true to themselves and call out the double standards are shunted into the worst positions with the least influence, or unfairly over-disciplined, or driven off the force altogether. Successful black cops often seem to be the direct descendants of overseers - eager to prove their loyalty to the system by mistreating and betraying fellow black people.... As for the cops, there are three ways to deal with them. 1. Political influence 2. Bribery which happens far more frequently and creatively (police fundraisers/donations/community service) 3. Infiltration. Of the three options, infiltration is the most doable and would benefit the black community across the board but how many black folks want their kid to grow up to be a cop or join the force themselves?

Pushing for residency requirements might help, especially in urban areas. But forcing the police unions/members to pay for all of their own lawsuit settlements instead of taxpayers is probably the only thing that would shake them up enough to change their behaviour. NYC's police department is close to half white and half Latino/black/Asian (compared to an overall population that is 1/3 white and 2/3 Latino/black/Asian) but they're all still wearing "It looked like a gun" glasses whenever they see black people.
I like the idea of a general boycott of ALL restaurants and take-out places (except black-owned) to show that this situation is completely out of hand. Similar to the ideas in the film, "A Day Without a Mexican," we could treat the restaurant industry to "A Week Without Black People's Money."
Saraland DP also held a press conference. I have family that live in Mobile and she said it's getting pretty tense.

Plot twist.
Apparently the police were called because she brought an outside alcoholic beverage in. She refused to throw it away so they asked her to leave.
Note: I’m not condoning what the officer did at all. Just sharing new facts.
Are we waiting for white feminists to flood the media with their outrage of this women's treatment by the police? Or are our transgender "sisters" protesting? Oh no? Nvm ....
I don't believe this. at what point did she bring in the alcoholic beverage. Just refuse to serve them food till they remove the alcoholic beverage.
Also the police, didnt and doesn't treat white ppl who have committed heinous crimes like this. Example, Florida school shooter.
I need the same energy that the Starbucks guys received given to these women.
We aren’t going to get it but not for the reasons you might think. People just see this as business as usual in Alabama. I admit it’s the first thing I thought. Black voters in AL are going to have to ride up like they did to elect that conservative Democrat in November. We ( the rest of Black America) are going to have to provide financial support like we did during the CRM so they can make progress, but who is leading this battle? A local has to do it, they have to step up.I don't believe this. at what point did she bring in the alcoholic beverage. Just refuse to serve them food till they remove the alcoholic beverage.

local politics matter so much in situations like this.We aren’t going to get it but not for the reasons you might think. People just see this as business as usual in Alabama.

She looks like Ursula from The Little Mermaid.The one who called:
Of course she looks like that. Of COURSE.
Eta: if you're on twitter, the #boycottwafflehouse tag is what you should use
What can we do? Well...
Incorporate cities In unincorporated parts of our counties. You then have full control over the local government, how the police is run etc, who the DA is, etc. Open private and charter schools. Run by us for our kids, take over what public schools are in the area by flooding the applicant pool. Open restaurants, stores, clinics, car dealerships, franchises.
I think y’all see where I’m going with this.
They're lying. They wouldn't have taken the order to start with, and I didn't see her holding a drink. She had her phone and a crossbody/wristlet bag she was holding while she was waiting. This poor woman is being dragged all over again.https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5ade5146e4b0b2e811327ae3

This is happening in the burbs of Atlanta. See South Fulton, GAGenius!!!
This is EXACTLY what Disney does, so that they don’t have to follow the rules of the city of Orlando. Disney has its own city, Celebration, FL. They can do whatever they want with their theme parks. But Disney also has deep pockets.
You are strategically thinking like white people with our own city. I like!
