Pastor Jamal Bryant is calling for 100,000 Black consumers to join a 40-day economic fast against Target from March 3 to April 19

40 days and Target is just the first step. As the saying goes.... Rome wasn't built in a day.

If you can do 40 days without Target you never needed them in the first place.

I don't think I've (me personally) ever heard anyone say or act like they needed Target.
Most people don't do things (like shopping) out of need but mostly wants and convenience.

I would agree, except this thread is full of folks saying why this boycott is stupid, pointless, or even harmful. If Target is so unnecessary what would be the point?

Levi has a racist origin.

 

[RUDY RAYYY MO]

Ok so again I ask you. Do you think the boycott should stop because of the few black products on Target's shelves?

No

Levi been a good company . Yeah in the 1800’s they were racist but all cacs were, I appreciate the flip.

"Levi Strauss & Co. is a company with a long and mostly proud heritage. Across our history, we have strived to do good in and beyond our business and to be a positive force for equality and racial justice," a Levi Strauss & Co. spokesperson told NPR in an emailed statement. "But there have been times when we've fallen short."

Those words don't equal need. Those words more relate to wants and convenience.

Poison fruit from a poison tree, papi. Levi sells their racist ass jeans in a punk ass Macy’s. Why not kill 2 birds with one stone?

Y'all just giving away dopeness to white people for free.

I meant to post these in the marvin sapp thread. I, not in no way tryingto downplay the protest.

 

[Temujin]

It's crazy that some of our people that told us to withhold our vote don't agree on withholding a dollar from these conglomerates.

We got to practice this type of economic protest it's the only kind of protest that has proven to be effective in America.

There are stories about our people at the end of the Civil War fleeing with their masters to the southwest. Their masters had told them that the Union soldiers were coming to enslave them. While I believe we have to go to the end of the earth to get our people back, we have to admit we are not going to get everyone back. As a people, we have to ensure we document all of our interventions to reunite with our kinfolks.

I don't blame my people for their reticent, I blame their oppressors.
