Target Boycott Put Back In The Oven

Target thought they had Black People back but the Boycott got more leftovers than Mama's spaghetti. Black women, the driving force behind the Target boycott have spoken. DEI must die. When Atlanta pastor Jamal Bryant called off his yearlong Target fast, the announcement set off fireworks. At a hastily convened news conference in front of Target’s Minneapolis headquarters on March 11, grassroots activists denounced Bryant and told the world the nationwide boycott over the company’s rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion was not his to end. Target shoppers – especially Black women – mobbed his Instagram page to say he didn’t speak for them. Two days later on his podcast “Let’s Be Clear,” Bryant conceded he “misread the room.” When Target scrapped its DEI policies shortly after President Donald Trump took office, boycotts sprang up across the country. From church pulpits to community gatherings, the policy U-turn was widely viewed as a betrayal of Black Americans who had propped up the retail giant's fortunes. The national uproar mostly died down until this new controversy put the Target boycott back in the public bullseye. Minneapolis civil rights activist and lawyer Nekima Levy Armstrong, founder of the Racial Justice Network, launched a boycott in February 2025 with Monique Cullars-Doty, cofounder of Black Lives Matter Minnesota and Jaylani Hussein, executive director of CAIR-Minnesota. Armstrong told USA TODAY that Black shoppers would not return to Target until it reverses course on DEI. #target #boycott #dei #blackpeople #jamalbryant #targetboycott Join this channel to really set it off:    / @reesewaters   PATREON: Patreon.com/ReeseWaters Support the Channel 🙏🏽 MERCH SHOP: thepeoplesgetup.com Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/ReeseWaters Cashapp: $ReeseWatersTips Paypal: @ReeseWatersTips Follow Me on Social 👏🏽 #reesewaters Twitter:   / reesewaters   Instagram:   / @reesewaters   Email: [email protected]
