Media glutton Rev. Al Sharpton organized it as a peaceful demonstration in light of various injustice for blacks in the states such as the Jena 6 and Genarlow Wilson, who was recently released after being convicted and sentenced to 10 years for statutory rape ofa 15 year old when he was 17 in 2006.
I didn't hear about this until now. Although it doesn't apply to us it's interested to know that it's estimated that black people in the states spend around 2 billion dollars a day.
We'll see if this blackout will put a dent in the economy like Rev. Sharpton hopes it will.
I wonder if he forgot that Denzel's new movie comes out tonight...
