I don't understand how boycotting Black Friday helps human rights.

All they care about is money. Maybe if we stop giving it they'll listen.

But I don't understand how it's supposed to impact mistreated minorities or police who do wrong.

The “black” in Black Friday refers to the pre-computer accounting practice of using black ink in ledger books to indicate positive values, and red ink to indicate negative values; the whole Black Friday shopping clusterfuck was devised as a way to help ensure that companies would be “in the black” (a.k.a., have a net profit) by the end of the year. There is no racism implied by the original term.
“Blackout” in this context just refers to the idea of boycotting Black Friday; like an electrical blackout is a lack of electricity, a blackout in this sense means a lack of money flowing into the companies and their associated banks.
As to the context of the video, I doubt there’s any racist ideology or anti-white agenda, considering the video clearly shows people of all races being abused by officers.
