SYNDICATED RADIO HOST WARREN BALLENTINE CALLS FOR A NATIONAL BLACKOUT DAY!
Friday November 2, 2007 radio host Warren Ballentine is calling for all African Americans to not spend money as a symbol of defiance of all the injustices that are being allowed and accepted in America. The goal is for federal legislation concerning hate-crimes in America.
As African Americans we spend an estimated 715 billion dollars a year, and if we were to stop spending for one day that is 2 billion dollars that will not be in the system. However, we ask that you do not make a mad dash to the stores days prior or the days following. If the stores have a major increase in sales right before or right after the Blackout will not create the impact we need.
