This isn’t feasible, nor is it intelligent. You start small and branch out. You would’ve been on the street corner telling people the Montgomery Bus boycott is useless since we still buying cars from Ford.
Boycotting Target, Walmart and Amazon isn’t starting out small though, unless you’d like to say otherwise.

It is starting small. It initially started as one day. There hasn’t been a nationwide movement in decades, so any hit to these businesses bottom line is a plus. People will still go, but many people won’t. And many people are actively looking for alternatives. That’s what counts.

People saying we need to pull out of all major corporations all at once or else none of this matters is counterproductive.

It kind of does as it comes off as hypocritical and phony. So it's not okay to shop at Target, but it's okay to go to your local gas station that views you the same way?

Like I was telling a friend yesterday, Walmart has been grimy for years in how they've treated people and their practices, yet people still shopped there and didn't bother boycott.

I’ve been boycotting Walmart for years even before now, so I wouldn’t try that logic here.

This comes off as self-serving and pretentious. Almost “new black” like. Just because people didn’t start boycotting when you started, or because they aren’t doing it how you feel it should be done, then it’s phony?

Regardless of your personal views, it’s a movement that’s gaining momentum nationwide. Why is that an issue? I don’t care if someone is only boycotting so they can get TikTok content, every little bit helps.

They would have been on the sidewalk saying “I don’t know why they’re marching through Selma when they wearing shoes they bought at Macy’s :skip:.”

I never said it wasn’t. I was just point out a flaw in the thought process.

Boycotting Target but you’ll still go to them Habib gas stations
By groceries from Kroger
Buy clothes from Nike or whoever the fukk
Drive cars from white dealerships
All this shyt owned by crackers
Unless you buying all your needs from black enterprises
Growing your own food
Banking and all your stocks are black owned businesses
I don’t want to hear this faux militant shyt :russ:
nikkas still buying eggs and milk from white farmers b-b-but Target:skip:
If you not boycotting the whole system

All of this.

Target (and the handful of others) just said the quiet part out loud because they don’t GAF.
Highkey - Target was always bougie. But let Dollar General or Family Dollar come out on some similar ish,
and folks gonna have to start making hard choices.

People shop at these places because they have few other options. The effort should be to give them other options
instead of trying to Deebo them into nothing.

That one lady put back her Metamucil!!
That mean this woman would rather her not be able to take a chit just to be on some mythical code. That is crazy.

i told yall it would be hard to get everybody on board even for something as easy as this.

For one) You are calling for a nationwide boycott. Back in the day boycotts were local. They were asking it of a community. Not an entire country of black people. Has there ever been a nationwide boycott before that everyone (or at least enough people) have participated in?

For two) the stakes aren't really tangible enough at this point for everybody to energized into participating. When you all have a shared experience of not being allowed to sit on a bus without giving up your seat for a white person, or not being allowed into certain restaurants you feel it more deeply. than just a policy change on a companies website that you disagree with.
