Everyone may be excited for the Black Friday Sale 2014, but not some American celebrities, who refuse to participate in the shopping event because a police officer who shot dead a black teen was not prosecuted by the grand jury. Celebrities Kat Graham, Jesse Williams, Russell Simons, among others are calling for shoppers to #BlackOutBlackFriday to protest this court decision.

In lieu of the decision of the grand jury to let a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri who fatally shot black teen Michael Brown go, celebrities deem the shipping campaign unworthy of support, Telegraph UK reports. Rather, they want to support the #BlackOutBlackFriday campaign, and want Americans to do so as well. The one day campaign calls for not spending on this tradition to show their protest of the gross human rights violations in the United States, including that of police brutality. "The US economy depends on our shopping, especially during the holiday season. But the lives of our brothers and sisters are worth more than the dollars we can save on holiday gifts," the campaign reads.

Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, is one of the first entertainment figures who signed into action and tweeted "#NotOneDime" and "#BlackoutBlackFriday." Other stars soon followed suit, such as "The Vampire Diaries" actress Kat Graham and "Grey's Anatomy" actor Jesse Williams. Journalist Soledad O'Brien also did so.

What makes the boycott reasonable as well is that the country is also fueled by Black citizens' purchasing power. A Nielsen study said that the country's 43 million black citizens would acquire around $1.1 trillion in purchasing power by 2015, so their rights and lives must be as treasured as the rights and lives of others. Americans are encouraged to take time off of shopping and instead, spark change.

The Black Friday Sale 2014 however may be difficult to resist for some. Reports of the greatest deals on the day have been cropping up way before Thanksgiving, giving shoppers a good look on what they should prepare for. USA Today even made a list of the Black Friday 2014 best deals, which includes steep discounts on highly-coveted gadgets such as Apple iPads and Dell Laptops, appliances and electronics.
