Are Coli brehs doing the DEI blackout tomorrow?

To the people saying a day is not enough, you don't have to limit it to a day.

I redirected purchases earlier this week away from Walmart/Target/Amazon and towards Marshalls and Jewel Osco.

Moving forward, I'm spending my money where's it's wanted

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

I’m supporting the cause why not.

 

[King Poetic]

How about folks do it for the entire weekend instead of one day

 

[Peter Popoff]

I'm broke by default so I'm unintentionally participating, yes.

 

[Pressure]

We should do a day where we don’t tip service industry workers so they stop voting against their self interest

 

[Charlie Hustle]

I’ll be shopping and as usual, I will not scan some of my items at self checkout.

 

[Beck.er.]

What's the use if people are loading up today, and will be back in the stores the day after the boycott. This shyt needs to be for years like the Montgomery Bus boycott.

They tested the waters with different protests and responses first before they succeeded with the legendary boycotts.
Opposition takes time and support for something to stick, especially for more mainstream support.

More symbolism to replace tangibles

The tangibles we're getting from the current presidential administration is sure working out right

[Ku$h Parker]

I bought some shyt from Costco yesterday, I'm gucci.

Costco's Down wit DEI tho🫡

 

[Rick Fox at UNC]

These folks out here creating bullet trains, running intercontinental fiber-optic cable systems across the ocean floor, launching rockets into space daily, building complex computer systems.

But I'm supposed to participate in a "DEI" blackout.

Go back to community college, get a 4.0 GPA, and applied to Stanford or something you fukking losers.

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”​

 

[RAX 010]

Seems like it won't work

 

[IIVI]

Companies will just look at totals from the week.

“Looks like everybody bought on Tuesday what they would’ve bought on Friday.”

These companies know you’ll buy something in the long term. Worst yet is if they see they made more money during a blackout.

It needs to be a long term, disciplined and real cultural change.

This is basically the equivalent of talking a big game.
