“Don’t spend no money with no white folks that don’t respect us,” said B.J. Murphy of the Nation of Islam, a black nationalist political and religious organization.  He called for an economic boycott of Charlotte businesses by the African-American community during a press conference in response to the police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, in Charlotte, N.C.

According to Fox News ,A standoff between law enforcement and protesters turned ugly overnight after a Charlotte police officer fatally shot a black man, leading to damaged patrol cars and at least 16 injured officers.

Police say 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott was repeatedly to drop his handgun before an officer shot and killed him Tuesday afternoon, but many demonstrators are still furious.

B.J. Murphy, an outspoken supporter of the Nation of Islam, spoke at a press conference today, calling for an economic boycott of Charlotte.

“We’re watching our black men this week being gunned down, and there’s no redress for our grievances of black people being killed,” Murphy said.

He called for an independent investigation into if Scott indeed had a handgun when he was killed.

In the meantime, Murphy said he’s calling for an economic boycott of the whole city.

“Since black lives do not matter for this city, then our black dollars shouldn’t matter,” Murphy said. “We’re calling on all black people in Charlotte to keep your money in your pocket. And let the city of Charlotte – with their great shiny buildings and skyscrapers and Panthers and Hornets and all that – keep your money in your pocket.”

“Let everybody feel the pain economically of what we’re feeling physically when you kill us.”

    Oregon former late A.G. Dave Frohnmayer had my SS# blocked & prevented me from getting employed, made me homeless and jobless!

    He was the one who started & initiated the fraud of taking over our homes!!

    His bank robber Rep. Bob Ackerman, Doug McCool and Margaret Hallock hired Scarlet Lee/Barnhart Associates, forged my family’s signature, gave our fully paid Condo to the thief Broker Bob Ogle. And his mom Karen Ogle ” who was working in the USA Consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia 1997-1999 & administered the power of attorney to have my sister signed it and add her son to the deed,”, without my signature!!

    Bob Ackerman had never responded to the Summon from the Court, and the sheriff never served him or arrested him either!!

    ThIs is what kind of criminal government we have in Oregon!!

    I ran five times for public offices! Voter Fraud & Sedition by Lane County government to protect & cover up for the two criminals Frohnmayer & Ackerman!!

    Oregon government is complicit with their crimes!!

  2. The Activist ask what we want them to do.
    Its simple, be productive, Law abiding citizens. Comply with directives given by law enforcement. If a law enforcement officer says drop the Gun, then drop the lethal weapon, if the officer says halt, then halt, if he says lay on the ground, or put your hands up, or behind your back then do it. Waving a gun or resisting arrest has the potential to end badly, no matter your color.
