That’s the day T.I. wants people to stage a boycott in response to Black people like Ahmaud Arbery in Glynn County, Georgia, and George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, being killed by white men.
Tip’s action call seems to borrow heavily from a campaign that appears to have begun with a post on a YouTube channel called CalvinMartyrTV, whose host posted a video titled #BLACKOUTDAY2020 on May 8 that used the exact wording in its title notes as found in T.I.’s post from 20 days later.
In the T.I. caption, the rapper wrote, “Nobody spend S–T on this day‼️
IF you Give AF about the murders, lynchings, & oppression of people of is no stranger when it comes to speaking out against Black issues, nor is it the first time he’s called for a boycott.
Underneath his post about the July 7 boycott, people let T.I. know they stand beside him and won’t spend any money on that day.
There were also a number of people who agreed with the rapper but said the boycott should be more than just one day.
