Pittsburgh woman goes in Target to tell Blk customers "You not suppose to be in here"
Yeah I like to shop in piece and I’m sure others do as well, so I’d imagine they aren’t going to take too kindly to be walked upon even with the messaging being positive.
She seemed pretty respectful and I’m not mad at her intent, but she’s essentially bothering people while they shop. What she’s talking about is serious to her, but likely not that serious to everyone she’s stopping, considering they’re in target in the first place. Also, this is a good way to get kicked out of a store. A more effective way would be boycotting outside the store
There’s an opportunity here.
If black folks can have an app or online entity of some sort to keep track of how many minorities are boycotting different stores, you’ll gain back the power the republicans are trying to take away.
When the number of boycotters goes up into the hundreds of thousands and millions they will bring DEI right back with the swiftness, with an apology sales on top of it.

She's just giving a gentle reminder, which is cool to see. It will be needed regularly in the beginning, for sure.
In relearning history with my kids, I have a different take on the Montgomery Bus Boycott - something that lasted over a year.
As a child, they would teach us about that, and I just took it as fact. As a child, I never considered the actual details of how that all worked.
As an adult, I now know that there were plenty of people who probably did not want to participate in it (for the same reasons folks laud about boycotts today). It surely had to be inconvenient and tiresome to many to completely restructure their lives for something they were not sure would be effective.
I used to think the 381 days was just the amount of time it took these a$$holes to realize black folks weren't playing with them. Now I realize that, even from day 1, it likely wasn't not an effort supported by all, but the longer it went on, many more started to join in - until the boycott really did start doing some damage.
It took time to build that momentum, and so, it had to last long enough for some people to even come around and get on board. We live in a world with the results of what these protesters accomplished after sticking to this for over a year...I have no idea how life would look for us otherwise. The point is, though, we have seen a little of the blueprint and have to understand it isn't meant to be comfortable.
OAN, I've seen someone very learned in the financial space offer a more creative approach to bringing Target to heel. Instead of boycotting, a sizeable group of black people, under some sort of organization, would commit to buying a controlling amount of Target stock and become a shareholding bloc the board now has to cater to. I suspect those in the Csuite expect us to respond with withholding our dollars in their stores, but they would be caught unawares by putting them in a position where they now have to listen to and tapdance for the same folks (as shareholders) that they tried to fukk over (as customers and vendors).
In short, we take our money and weaponize it another way against these folks.
