This will probably be the shortest piece I’ve ever written for the Daily News.

I don’t want to over-explain myself, but we’ve crossed a line in America. Police brutality and racial violence have pushed people far past a reasonable or compassionate human standard.

For the past two years, we’ve protested all over the country, and my gut reaction used to be that it hadn’t accomplished as much as it should have — that the energy required for those protests didn’t meet the meager reforms that we’ve achieved.

I no longer feel that way. In two years, in great part because of those protests, the fierce injustice of the United States has now become known to the entire world. That’s no easy feat. The world knows the names and stories of our victims and they care.

Furthermore, we have built consensus among tens of millions of people in America who are fully fed up with police brutality and demand a better way.

The anger I see in Charlotte right now is honestly no different than the anger I see all over this country. Every major city in America is one incident away from having a meltdown. It’s ugly, but it’s real.

It is time, brothers and sisters, for us to make a unified national pivot. Our protests, of course, must continue, but we must add a critical new layer on top of them.

It is time that we organize a passionate, committed, economic boycott. It must be painful. It must be unified. And we must continue with it until we see change. This country is clearly willing to continue killing unarmed men, women and children without ever making any serious efforts at reforms. This economic boycott can change that.

Of course, they will tell us that we should be more like Dr. King, but you and I know that the caricature of King they speak of is but a hollow shell created in their own image. We will be like Dr. King when he helped lead the Montgomery Bus Boycott for 381 days from December, 5, 1955 to December 20, 1956.

I’m going to be listening for the best ideas on how we proceed. We have to all be on the same page here or it won’t work. I’m in and I hope you are too.
