Why are black folks boycotting big retailers like Target when they are the only type of business that hires young Black men?

[Voice of Reason]

The Asian and Indian businesses in the Black community refuse to hire young g Black men but no movement to boycott them? Yet we boycott the national chains that will hire young Black teens and men?

If that's your gripe, I dont think you're asking the right question.

You should wonder why black folks have to choose between working for Asian/Indian business and national chains, instead of for each other.

 

[ViShawn]

Because those were our instructions.

If that is the line of thinking, we would have not have boycotted the Montgomery Bus lines because they hired Black men as janitors. Sometimes we need to see the bigger picture,

Shut up

U sound like an opp

Because being a frontline worker is not going to build wealth and leads to permanent second class citizenship. Target et al needs to allows minority/black brands get distribution so they can build wealth and keep those dollars circulating within black communities.

 

[HimmyHendrix]

Because this community doesn’t care about young black men.

I mean that’s obvious

which is what exactly?

Target is not the only type of business that will hire young black men. Electricians, Plumbers/Pipefitters, Welders, HVAC, etc. will hire you on with no skills and train you up.

 

[Luke Cage]

Because those black men are helping their employer discriminate against the black community. instead of joining the boycott.

If thpse products sold they would be there, Everyday stores remove underperforming products. Now if you can show where they removed a top selling product because it was black owned maybe you'd have a point

I agree with the Target boycott I'm just saying it comes with negatives as well.

Are you a Trump glazer? This is not a right wing bed buck thread.

 

[NobodyReally]

This is dumb. With that kind of logic, we shouldn't protest anything lol.
