It's the dumb Black people siding with Trump and the Republicans and not knowing what DEI is. They are all a bunch of sheep following behind their white daddy

How? Use other means. Equivalents: buy from those Black business websites directly or from other B&M stores that carry their products The goal: to force change via decrease in market share; what’s needed is consistency and longevity of boycott- hold the line. Leaders: unsure at this time

This how you know I love you negros. Yall came at me for asking questions b/c I want us to make sure a boycott last 😂 and I didn't call anyone out their name or nothing. As frustrating as it is arguing against a misinterpretation/misunderstanding, I know we all aiming for the same thing.

Actually this is my last quote. I also asked the alternatives question because I don't want ppl giving up on Target just to turn around & use another business that don't give a shit about us either. A list of places to avoid was given and that was appreciated! Some ppl understand...the others, man 🤦🏾‍♂️

By far the worse response. I'm ngl this is my last response to this thread. 😂 Appreciate those that came to an amicable conclusion. To those that didn't, or I didn't respond to. It is what it is. No harm done no harm foul. We all want the same thing. I just want this to last and be real. ✌🏾

I won't lie. Atp I had to go back and look at how I asked because I forgot after all these conversations and everything. You got it. 😂🤷🏾‍♂️ I see how it can be taking as me wanting the answer personally. I don't. I was asking in a general sense. My bad. I just eant this shit to last I promise

It can feel disingenuous, but when I say it's not and explain multiple times why I asked those questions...because I didn't see any of that really being discussed...it gets annoying to watch yall get pissy b/c I want shit to be real and last & not end like it typically does

I didn't ask yall to tell me how to do anything. That's the misconception, nowhere did I personally ask for that or ask how can I, me, do this. And if I saw ppl talking about it and said they didn't have any of those answers...doesn't that mean I looked for those answers. Wtf are we talking now??

That's white ppl that I'm pretty sure is the top percentile demographic consumer. That is an entirely different. I'm not explaining this anymore. I've said the reasoning for those questions at least 5x now. Stop trying to argue and not understand my point.

To address the last question, I suggest reading about Ella Baker’s group-centered leadership style. A singular person or organization isn’t always necessary for every wave of a movement. www.morningsidecenter.org/teachable-mo...

🤔 I can do that. Just going off the naming I think I've had this idea before. Thanks too

I'll answer your follow up here too. I asked about Leadership b/c while yall say it's "easy" it literally has not been done whenever one of these has been called for or if it started it fizzled out and/or didn't have an impact. 🤷🏾‍♂️ But I like that you answered. The 2nd part of that goal may be tough

I like these. I think it can be more fleshed out, but this is definitely a start fr, especially the goal

Why are yall getting pissy at a nigga asking if yall have an actual plan & that you need one?? Boy I tell you 😂

I'm sorry, but this type of mindset is why this shit never works, man. 🙄 It didn't work with Gucci. It didn't work with Tom Ford, it work for Timberland b/c yall just think "don't spend money there" is all that's needed. No, we need a real plan and an actual goal. Ppl need Target more than Gucci

This is an alternative. Definitely easier said than done, but what about the other questions. And as I keep saying across these apps, I'm asking because I want ppl to actually see that there needs to be a real a plan & not just social media talk. I am not trying to be contrarian

Asking what's the plan for a boycott is lazy?? What? 🤨

I asked similar questions on threads and got ignored and blocked. It’s half baked plan, just people sharing infographics on their stories about shopping from Costco or direct. The bus boycott took a year and had actions/demands/plans. And correct, singular leadership.

*From me* it's not for dissent or sabotage. I legit ask those questions b/c I'm tired of seeing social media activism & no real action. I haven't seen anyone mention any of that in the questions I asked. It's not counterproductive, it's to get ppl to think & plan for real life. Again *From me*

"Black people boycott Target!" Ok sure, but a few questions: •How? •What are the shopping alternatives/equivalents for Black people? •What is the actual goal of the boycott and what's really needed to achieve it? •Who is leading this boycott? Whether it be an individual or an organization.
