I meant to say–Just March! and then when ppl ask you can tell them…didn’t mean to put a “?”.

I am all for honoring Malcolm X’s legacy, but why ask stores to close for the march? Just march? When ppl ask what’s up, you can tell them and spread the word. Let’s be honest, those merchants don’t care about that, they are trying to do business. I don’t know if I see the sense in that. The better thing would have been to create a letter and flyer about his life and pass it out, or ask stores to place it at the front of the store to inform ppl of who he was and what he means to our history.

How about closing protesting stores that close on Labor Day. A holiday for the working people.

I WOULDN’T HAVE CLOSED THE STORE EITHER AND LATER LIE TO THE MEDIA CLAIMING I WASN’T AWARE OF THE EVENT. I WOULD’VE STOOD UP TO THEM BECAUSE THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY AND YOU GET TO CHOOSE WHOM YOU WILL AND WILL NOT SUPPORT. THE MALCOLM X NEW MILLENNIUM COMMITTEE CAN’T FORCE A BUSINESS TO AGREE WITH THEIR IDEAS OR BOYCOTT THEM. WHAT THEY ARE DOING BORDERS ON EXTORTION.

Seriously how much more narrow minded are people going to be?? Its funny how people will protest about mindless crap that is seriously unnecessary. I understand that Malcom X was an inspiration to people everywhere because of what he did, but there is no state law saying that stores should close to honor him. If a store chooses to stay open then that is their decision. They shouldn’t have to close down because a bunch of angry protesters made them do it. SMH!!

I find it very interesting that the desires Malcolm X (Malik Shabazz) have not been accomplished, but to waste useless energy to talk about a store not closing is just insane.

Let’s address the amount of young Afrikan Americans dying in the streets due to violence, homelessness, drugs, protitution, hunger and depression. We need economic freedom and unity in our community-this is just a store.

It should show our people that no matter who may sit in the White House, we have a lot to do on an individual and community level.

BLACK PEOPLE: STAY FOCUSED!!!
STOP DEVIATING FROM THE REAL DREAM AND THE REAL TRUTH!!!

I dont agree with that…this is a free country. There is no law saying stores have to shut down to honor Malcolm X. people are getting stupider each day.

Are these people serious?? they want a RETAIL store to close down for 3hours in these trying economic times, for a person who probably wouldn’t have been a friend to this type of store in the first place? I’m not sure why this group didn’t just make it voluntary, rather than insisting that stores close down and with all the problems we have in our community, THIS is what people want to protest? no wonder our communities never improve, we’re to busy protesting bull shit!!!!

you know what i was out there in harlem on the 22 i believe and i saw alot of people in harlem screaming out boycott. i didnt pay it no mind but i saw alot of black brothers and sisters surrounding the store and they was not playing at all. i also was walking and they was playing that cam song with the old school feel to it. i went to macdonals to get me something to eat and went to manhattanville. i had fun but i was there when they was protesting.
