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

Target is out, Costco is in. Walmart is out too. Anything I can't get from Costco, I'll try to find from a small business. Amazon can kick rocks too. Just because Jeff Bezos isn't the CEO anymore doesn't mean anything to me. He was kissing trump ass during the inauguration. Also fuck Meta & all of their products & services.

It’s challenging to avoid using products owned or controlled by Amazon. AWS comes to mind.

Yeah Amazon is the one that I'd struggle to not use since I buy damn near everything from them.

Truthfully, I don't think it's realistic to not use all three of the biggest retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon.)

Not shopping at one or two is possible but all three isn't IMO.

Especially when your area doesn't have alternatives such as Costco. The Costco in my area won't be open until early 2026
 
The biggest impact of these boycotts and blackouts isn't the DEI programs. It's the realization that big box store convenience is a lie. Their savings don't exist. They need us a hell of a lot more than we need them. Also, it's ridiculous to complain about billionaires while we're lining their pockets.

Almost every city has a Chinatown or Mexican neighborhood that sells meat and produce at half the price Target does. The staples cost a bit more, but it all evens out in the end. If you want some Target quality clothes there will be at least a half dozen shops down the street that got you covered.

Would you purchase baby food or medicine at half price?

Not sure I understand the question. Are you suggesting the baby food and NyQuil at Target is different from what they sell it every other store?

The standards are different. Say what you want about american products, but the product standards are waaaay different here than these exports. They selling bad product out here. 'They' meaning Amazon.

I wouldn't trust it either, but nobody's boycotting safeway, lucky's, or winco.

In a pinch there's a market near my house. Overpriced, but always stocked up. They had bread yeast and Clorox wipes during the pandemic and NyQuil during that medicine shortage a couple years ago.

That's why it's time to stop making these box stores our default and see what else is out there.

I agree, my biggest struggle would be Amazon. I don't care about Walmart nor Target, but Amazon is literally a click away for me when looking for something.
 
I stopped shopping at Target when they started all that bullshit anyway. I told all the women in my life to order direct from the companies they support, or head to Costco.

I have noticed this as wel, and that two day shipping is at times 3 days without notice until the timeframe it was due to arrive.

Last year I ordered pomegranate syrup for a recipe. When it arrived there was a red stain on my front porch and the bottle was completely shattered. I called for a refund and was told to bring this shattered package to whole foods. Not happening.

So instead I took a picture of the mess and posted a one-star review explaining what happened. Amazon rejected my review saying it had to be about the quality of the product and not the way it was shipped. $15 dollars down the drain.

A few days later I discovered pomegranate syrup is incredibly easy to make. Just get a $3 bottles of Pom and simmer it on the stove for a few minutes. It made me reevaluate all the other stuff I was buying from Amazon. Did I really need it? Was it the best price? Etc.

My local target is staffed almost exclusively by young black people. Are they not supposed to work during this boycott?

Is the goal to have these target stores close so these young people will be out of a job? To protect "DEI" that primarily has benefitted white women?

Why don't you start a Black MAGA thread and keep your Stephen from Django ass in there?

I started buying my spices at an Indian grocery store. Got a year supply of cayenne pepper for less than the cost of a bottle anywhere else.

Your body and your cash, but Indians don't give a fuck about food safety and farming regulations.

You are probably eating plastic and pesticides, let alone how fuck up their water supplies are. Enjoy the lead and pathogens from dead humans.

Imported foods have the same safety standards as products produced in the US.
