Target announces it is rolling back DEI programs

In a memo to employees, the Minneapolis-based company says it will end its three-year DEI goals, stop reports to external diversity-focused groups, and end a program focused on carrying more products from Black- or minority-owned businesses.

Good to know where NOT to spend my money! Makes a low spend year even easier, and these corporations were never authentic in their efforts in the first place.

Dear black product owners I hope you have your website on your products because I can just buy them directly from your website. Target has all their other products in jail anyway so I just buy it online.

Will check Target off my places to shop.

MLK JR said, " if you respect my dollar, you must respect my person". No more Target, Walmart, Amazon.. If you think I am giving you my money while you disrespect my person. Naw

I quit buying anything extra a long time ago... if you don't really need it leave it. Start closing your pockets. Let these places feel a pinch a least.

I'm buying ONLY products from Black-owned companies at Target. They can keep the rest of their stuff. Not shopping at Wal-Mart PERIOD! Who in the heck is still eating McDonald's?

[LauraPerez-zh]

Will stop shopping there immediately. These companies need to have consequences for doing the wrong things!

Boycott target. Shame on them and others like them.
Costco is standing the line!🎉

We need our own communities yall. Why do we still go where we are not welcome 🙏🏾

[mskitt]

Time to get my Costco membership renewed!

I had so much fun cancelling my three hundred dollar order the day it was shipped. Feel better I didn't spend the money.

Its wild how quickly companies and people are willingly so eager to give the freedoms away. Its wild that the govt is now ordering how businesses what policies that they can or cannot implement. This is going to be a trickle down issues for us all

I don't get why they have such a big problem with diversity, equality and inclusivity? Who's it hurting? This country is not 100% any one kind of person, atleast for now 😒

Don’t Be Fooled By What You’re Told By The Media.

I’m calling and canceling my target debt account. This is disappointing. I’ll be paying attention and shopping only where DEI exists.

[paulb]

Yet another reason not to shop at Target.

[apara]

First Walmart, now Target???? Now i dont have anywhere to shop for small items. Im disappointed! Will be boycotting Target as well.

[hteacave]

People need to start more business. We need a minority owned website that sells things, similar to Etsy. Where people can connect and know where to buy local small businesses, online or in person

[STEVENTODD-xp]

How's that working out for you Target!

This is what “the people” wanted. Congratulations
