America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections

RACIST BLACK LIVES MATTER URGES BOYCOTT OF WHITE COMPANIES - WHY NOT BOYCOTT BLACK LOOTING OF STORES AND BUSINESSES ACROSS AMERICA?!?
BLM IS SUBSTANIALLY THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND BLACK LOOTING ACROSS AMERICA!
The Black Lives Matter movement is urging supporters to wage a month-long boycott of what the far-left organization describes as “white companies” as the holiday season approaches.
“White-supremacist-capitalism uses policing to protect profits and steal Black life,” the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation posted to Instagram. “Skip the Black Friday sales and buy exclusively from Black-owned businesses.”
To support its cause, the Black Lives Matter group called on supporters to visit BlackXmas.org, where it can learn how to “move your money out of white-corporate banks that finance our oppression and open accounts with Black-owned banks.”
“As BLMLA organizer, Jan Williams, reminds us, ‘Capitalism doesn’t love Black people,’” the group said in a statement last week announcing the boycott. “In fact, white-supremacist-capitalism invented policing, initially as chattel-slavery-era ‘paddy rollers,’ in order to protect its interests and put targets on the backs of Black people.”
Unsurprisingly, this claim is revisionist history. While slave patrols did exist in the south, many of the earliest police forces had nothing to do with slavery. The very first constable present in colonial records was Joshua Pratt, who served in the 1630s in Plymouth Colony. Per TIME Magazine: “The first publicly funded, organized police force with officers on duty full-time was created in Boston in 1838.”
“#BlackXmas challenges us to shake off the chains of consumerism and step fully into our own collective power, to build new traditions, and run an offense as well as a defense,” the statement added. “Let’s harness our economic power to disrupt white-supremacist-capitalism and build Black community.”
The boycott comes after Black Lives Matter criticized the celebration of Thanksgiving, calling America “stolen land.”
“You are eating dry turkey and overcooked stuffing on stolen land,” the organization wrote in a social media post, which included the following graphic:
“Colonization never ended, it just became normalized,” the graphic read.
Some Twitter users blasted the anti-Thanksgiving post, seemingly alluding to BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors reportedly building a wall around her $1.4 million house after resigning from the group amid criticism of her lavish lifestyle.
“Then give up your houses card money jobs and everything else you own because that’s all on stolen land too,” one user commented.
“Every square inch of land occupied on this planet was stolen/conquered. You’re normalizing generational victimization and it’s gross,” another user replied.
PHOTOS: San Francisco’s Union Square Boards Up for Christmas After Mass Looting
San Francisco’s Union Square, the high-end shopping district at the center of the city, is boarding up for the Christmas shopping season after a string of “mass looting” events that began on the weekend before Thanksgiving.
Normally, Union Square is festive and bright in December. Its giant Christmas tree and menorah attract visitors from across the region, as does its outdoor ice skating rink. Situated alongside the city’s famous cable car, it is an oasis of prosperity in a gritty downtown.

However, this year is different, as the San Francisco Chroniclereports:
As San Francisco approached the critical December shopping month, instead of holiday lights and Santa Claus decorations, dozens of downtown retailers greeted shoppers with plywood-encased storefronts and armed guards in the wake of mass retail thefts in Union Square two weeks ago.
Around a half-dozen stores in the Union Square area were boarded up on Tuesday, including the Louis Vuitton store and others that sustained damage during the robberies. Other luxury stores such as Gucci, which Mayor London Breed said had an existing security gate system and wasn’t damaged in previous robberies, had a guard outside as well.
It’s a stark contrast from previous years when December in Union Square was marked by windows full of holiday ornamentation and the seasonal enticement of products that could fit under Christmas trees.
Shoppers continue to come to the Union Square district, thanks to a large police presence. As Breitbart News reported last month, police restricted vehicular access to the square in the wake of the looting.

Some retailers have called on Mayor London Breed to resign after championing proposals to reduce funding to the police. District Attorney Chesa Boudin faces a recall election, driven by residents who are frustrated by his refusal to prosecute petty and “quality of life” crimes in the city.
Many retailers boarded up their businesses last year during the Black Lives Matter riots, and again in anticipation of riots if President Donald Trump was re-elected last November. San Francisco has been forced to do so again because of looting unrelated to any particular political event. It is unclear how long the boards will remain up on Union Square shops.
