So many Minneapolis based Target will phase out its DEI programs that support black employees, black owned businesses, and LGBTQ plus inclusion. After hearing this, a lot of blacks took social media to call for massive boycotting.
Of all Target stores.
Social media influencer Tabitha Brand posted a video to make consumers aware of how a boycott would negatively impact the sales of black owned brands that are sold in Target stores. Tabitha Brand has several products that are now being sold at Target. Research gathered for the Insider shows at nearly eight out of ten shoppers in the US shop at Target, and Target's typical consumer is a white suburban mother between the ages of thirty five and forty four with a household income of eighty thousand dollars.
So here's a question, what do you guys think about this?
If we boycott Target, do we boycott every restore that has gotten rid of its d EI program and all?
And I believe Target was one of the contributors to the Trump campaign, if I'm.
Not mistaken, one of the biggest, I think.
If I'm not mistaken, So you're dealing with an ownership that is pro Trump anyway.
Yeah.
Oh, Now, what you have to pay attention to is how many companies follow suit. He did what he said he was gonna do, and you boycotting target. I mean, okay, if that's what y'all want to do, but what is that gonna do? Because she's absolutely correct the black businesses that have products in there, they gonna get hurt too. It's just a we're in a tough spot here, man, because all this is in Project twenty twenty five. You see this, make America great again. I kept trying to tell people, make America great again for who All you could do is push it back. And every time we push back, we pushing back into all types of stuff. The DEI is affecting college entry level stuff. They erased the nineteen sixty four Civil.
Rights actable, right, that's right.
Do you understand there's no more affirmative action, that's no more holding people to the eye to make sure the minorities are included. Na, man, So now they gonna make America great again when it was greater for them when they controlled everything, And now they're back to control and they can hire who they want to.
Hire, do like they want to do. And that's a sad space win.
Now, and you got to think about it.
You're sir right, Steve, about hurting our black businesses. I mean, when you think about it, it's Tamoth Tabatha brand, it's Taraji p Hens and I think she has hair products and their Tracy ellis ross with hair products than Target. You know, so you're going to be hurting these people as well. I mean you want to do something maybe, but is this the smartest move?
And if you if you don't get your products out of Target, where you're gonna go and wherever thats you go?
Are they doing the same thing? Yeah?
I mean.
This guy is doing what he said he's gonna do and I and I said all along it will benefit the rich, but I'm very deeply concerned about the common man.
You said that that's true.
And and and and and and now it's starting to play itself out and it's it's no holes barred man.
But they said day one, Steve, they said on day one, And that's what he's been doing.
He's been in office for a week.
Man, he picking up people.
Ices is out there busy picking people up, deporting people. Are they down there they're sending troops down to the border, you know, and and and dee I. They getting rid of all of it because here's the deal. If you don't have to understand what the civil rights movement and Affirmative Action did, it made companies have to hire x amount of minorities and women because otherwise, now that you don't have to do that, you can put your people in place, and they can turn a blind eye to all of the other stuff that.
Goes on behind closed doors in the boardroom, because.
If you ain't got no blacks and women in there and Latinos and everybody reporting.
Wait a minute, they're doing this, it can go unchecked.
So now they get to put all of their white people in power and.
Position and control the narrative.
Yeah, you're still right.
In a perfect world, we wouldn't need the EI. In a world without racism, we wouldn't need these programs. But because it's not a perfect world and there is racism, we have to include everyone, and that's what's been happening, you know, And now they're cutting that out. So we're gonna be left out if we don't. I don't have the answer to that.
One America wasn't built on d e I. America was built on the backs of slaves. So now let's just make America.
Great degree yeah, for free.
And here we are, man, So it's gonna be a long ride. Yeah yeah. And how do we fight this though? What is the plan to fight this? Do we have a plan to fight this? The fight was at the voting box.
In November.
That that was That was the fight. Yeah, and you lost that fight, so now you got to take the ass whipping.
Ye.
So you know, I don't I don't really have a plan. I don't.
I can't come up with a plan for this because he has. The entire Republican Party has bowed down to this guy, and nobody's fighting back. I mean, this dude is doing some ridiculous stuff too.
Yeah.
The birthright thing that he's trying to reverse that if you're born in the United States, you don't become a citizen. He's trying to flip that. That's constitutionally not the correct thing to do.
Yeah, project, but he's trying to do that. And the Golf of America, boy.
It's coming up in twenty minutes after the hour, the Eagles and the Chiefs are going to the Super Bowl.
