You’re going to have to explain what Trump anti DEI policies for the federal government has to do with Target?
Target sales decline 3% with billions in revenue lost. Forbes points to Black people driven boycotts related to anti- DEI

Who said anything about Walmart?
I guess your forgot about Giant, Costco, Walgreens, CVS, Aldi, Idil (or however you spell it), Wholefood, Harris Teeter, Fedex, UPS, Marchalls, TJ Maxx etc etc.
Not to mention plenty of local businesses.
They specifically pulled the products of many black business owners once they dropped their DEI.
Once again, they specifically targeted Black owned businesses.
The store I shop at didn't target black owned businesses and my employer is a black man.
I did. They are Target's direct competitionWHERE'S THE SMOKE FOR WAL-MART! THEY WERE ONE OF THE FIRST ONES TO ELIMINATE THEIR DEI PROGRAM AND FUNDING!
To cherry pick Target and still frequent the others you listed makes no sense
Give me an example where any of those other businesses specifically targeted Black owned businesses and I'll concede.
Come on friend. I'm disappointed that you asked this question.
Just googled. He's the Amazon CEO. That's who you talking about?
Not saying that Target doesn't deserve the smoke because they 100% do for SPECIFICALLY targeting black owned brands. fukk dem
Nothing to concede.
I'm just saying don't support these other mufukkaz either
Exactly, there is nothing to concede because they didn't do it.
They are still anti-black being openly anti-DEI so fukk Dem too
Just because they didn't specifically target black brands like Target did, it shouldn't allow them to slide.

For real, If you gotta go to Walmart then get there early and leave before 10am.
Blk aren't even the people who are benefiting for DEI sir. Like stop, you're just talking.
Alright, I see what this is.
Exactly why I don't argue with women. Only right perspective is y'all perspective.
You not even trying to understand my point because you so dug in on yours. I'm Not even disagreeing completely with you. And black people not benefiting from DEI is 100% FALSE. We may not be the biggest beneficiaries of it, but we benefitted.
In late 2024 and early 2025, Walmart, along with other companies, began rolling back or scaling back its DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives, including ending supplier diversity programs, stopping racial equity training
Walmart also said it wouldn’t renew a racial equity center that was established through a five-year, $100 million philanthropic commitment from the company with a mandate to, according to its website, “address the root causes of gaps in outcomes experienced by Black and African American people in education, health, finance and criminal justice systems.”
Sounds like they are doing exactly what Target did and worse.
Just pointing out because you seem to be really about not giving these folks money, but go ahead and cross Whole Foods off the list. They're owned by Amazon, unfortunately.
So Blac people shouldn’t fight corporations by your logic. Hatinhandyessirboss type negros are multiplying on this board like crazy.

If you study our history, the argument we should do nothing is lame. No, we can't boycott everything at once, but making a dent in Target's sales does send a message and it could turn the tide for another corporation. Sitting around and saying we're powerless is such a defeatist and cowardly way to live. Our ancestors couldn't boycott everything either, but I'm glad they did boycott when they could because it did change policies.
