'Corporations Bowed To Bigotry': Strategy Behind A Target Boycott After 'They Played In Our Face'
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2025
- Last week, Target announced that it would be rolling back its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. This decision sparked outrage within the Black community, leading to calls for boycotts of the retail giant.
Nina Turner's organization, "We Are Somebody," has scheduled a boycott to begin on Monday. She spoke with Roland Martin about the strategy behind the boycott.

Happy Black History Month
The companies will take your money and disrespect you at the same time.All the American people, no matter ethnicity, should boycott these entities. If we stand together we can win and change the outcomes. Thank you Mr Martin for being precise and specific
Exactly 💪🤨
💯💯💯💯
Amen because after all they will come for other groups next
Don't blame trump where is America Rule of laws.This America Rule of laws is for the poor people not for the billionaires
Fanbase is all we need right now.
Roland is doing a fantastic job in asking what the demands are. He's right they need to be specific
Ningas aint sht, GOING TO WALMART RITE NOW, FINALLY THESE COMPANIES WAKING UP
This seems thrown together Roland asking the right questions and she can’t answer. Prime example is BLM no direction just send your money and we see how that turned out
What did Costco do?
When will Black businesses work towards acquiring their own places of business. If you can pay for space inside a business to showcase your products, why not lease or buy/lease your own facility in the same way as: the Dollar stotes; Beauty Supply; Salons; Barber Shops, etc.
Isnt it time Blacks business owners should be able to own/share their own facilities.
I thought it was me that she was not answering the question it's like she's giving general answers but specifics what are your demands outside of just buy black products. He's asking about keeping scholarships & other investments that they've committed to and she's only saying buy black products.
@@k.gonzalez9318 EXACTLY 💯..she either dodging the question...or she had no answer and didn't want to look foolish. Roland asked very direct questions. Basically...it's ....what's in the CONTRACT...ON PAPER ??? You go to a business and you suppose to have a contract. Because if there was a breach of contract...you litigate.
She is not hearing him. I understood what he meant. He wanted her to get specific with the outline of the plan. She started getting a little defensive. I know you mad Queen and I KNOW you got our back. Take a breathe and listen to those willing to help. Because WE NEED YOU and you have a long way to go. We stand by you and want you to stay Strong. We appreciate what you are trying to do ❤❤
She is not qualified to lead this. If she cannot hold it together here and comprehend a basic question then what will she do during hostile negotiations? These companies will not be dancing to Disney themes and delivering her cookies and milk.
@@diamondzpearlzcleanerzllc4023 that’s the way she is, she is a smart sister though. I believe she also used to be a member of Congress or the House. True: if we don’t know what we want, how can we tell others?
She had no plan. It's a one trick pony. Boycott and complain.
@@jamdee6That's the point of a boycott
@@anonymousprivet1227please it seems like Roland was trying to get her to say one specific thing. She will do fine. Nina is nothing to play with.
We can NOT have a movement without a goal, clarity, and well-defined planning. The boycott, in the end, needs to work for the very people who are supporting the boycott. Have a solid plan with solid demands.
She needs to leave the interviews, planning, and negotiating in the hands of someone more qualified.
@@anonymousprivet1227this is her job.
Problem is only 9% of targets consumers are blk. Point is, losing 9% won’t make or break Target. Waste of time cause there’s NO Targets in the hood anyway. Most minorities got to drive to the nearest one.
Did you listen to the gentleman roland was interviewing and the preacher. The goal is not to punish but target but create longterm power ad growth for black businesses. Boycottinging a white business just to end up dependent upon that business again is what got us into this mess.
That said, ego is a huge issue in our community no one wants to be the follower. So yes we do need a better spokesperson for this initiative. We need someone who completely has their arms around every aspect of the boycott and beyond. It may be time for a meeting of the minds, the creation of a Black business association and an oversight committee to that association. One function of the oversight committee will be to ensure Black businesses are actively contributing to the Black community and are still Black owned.
Aside from that, we need a Black person to take on a leadership role in their community. creating associations that work with the elected officials to have major influence on which businesses are allowed to operate in their communities. The goal is to ensure the neighborhoods are comprised of mostly Black owned businesses and that those businesses invest in the communities they serve.
@@ThomasNiemann-qe5fo perfectly said. I have argued this point to my family and friends and it’s like hitting your head against a brick wall wit some folks. Their comprehension is of a child and clearly fueled by race baiting and emotions. Targets blk consumers only make up 7% of sales. Let that sink in.
Target, Walmart, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Google, Home Depot, McDonalds..... all guilty.
I purchased stock in these companies to make sure I’m able to vote along with other shareholders. These companies are publicly traded and DEI initiatives are part of what they vote on. I’m not shopping with them but I WILL benefit from their profits.
They can now unlock everything.
Chick fila
@@debbiesroommate Not their ephedrin though!
@@rerebrook5057 That's not a flex. As long as you keep their stock you are supporting them. It doesn't matter, because their stock is on the decline anyway and if you keep it you will decline with them. Dow Jones Nasdaq and S&P are very unstable right now, and if you understand anything about the stock mark you should be alarmed right now. What? The fact that you're in here flexing tells me that you know nothing about it.
I'm a white woman in SD, CA and I love Target, but already decided to boycott Target when they announced ending DEI last Friday. So disappointed in them.
Agreed
Thank you❤
I don’t believe you
Thank you! We need more white women joining in the boycott since this affects them more than any other group.
Thank you i appreciate you we are all humans and need to look out for each other
I’m done with Walmart, Target I went to once last year, and I don’t see why McDonald’s is even some place black folks go anyway. So I’m all in!!
I rarely shop at Target. Walmart lost it's charm because they never have anything I go there for. McDonald's is garbage food. I just don't like food.
Because they know no other race will eat their BS carcinogenic food!
@@timdawg2801 you are the minority. Our people don’t know how to boycott.
TARGET DEI IS TRANS, AND LGBT AND BLACKS, WELL DONE TARGET
Right! McDonald's was proven to not even be food over thirty years ago yet fools keep on eating that mess and paying more for it.
Purchase black owned products directly from their websites!!!!
They need to make their prices more reasonable.
This is about DEI. Queens are the gate watchers this grift.
@@mrt4053Because most people would rather whine instead of buying so that they can reduce their prices because of increased volume or sales.
She is very defensive!!!! She's not being attacked. He's asking questions 🤦🏾🤷🏾 🙏🏾
If we don’t unite and work together we will continue to lose.
exactly. You are right. Now we need to use Fanbase now. We should wean ourselves off of all these FB, IG, META, Google, Walmart and Harley Davidson. I think we will all be in the Goodwill before its all said and done. But can black and brown folks stop all the shopping is the real question here?
Exactly
Yes! 🙋🏾♀️👌🏽💪🏾✊🏽
March April 4th and August 28th. And every week. Until... Where are the BP, BLM, NAACP?
Mr. Crump, Reverend Sharpton?? 😮
Trump is doing exactly what he said he was going to do. That is not a surprise. So, what are the American citizens going to do? Continue to Go on podcasts, go on CNN, MSN, fox News, and complain? Call Trump out for the next 4 years, without any productive action being taken is a waste. Just click bait. Those 18 federal employees who were fired illegally. That was supposed to be approved by Congress first. Are they getting their jobs back? Are they going to file wrongful termination lawsuits. Is trump going to held accountable...probably not. Let's do something besides talk 😳
As a Latino my family is doing the same thing. Not all of us voted for the incompetent fool we have as president.
Keep safe fam'
Yes! ¡Pa'lante mi gente! 🥰
Which terrible latin country do you want us to be like? Don't say they are not crappy, you left for a superior country. Has to be humiliating. Also, how can you be proud of a country you do not want to live in?
@johannsssgeu absolutely!!! Not all of us voted against our own interests. We need to stop arguing with attention seeking, uninformed, sheep. That want to come on here and show how uninformed and uneducated they are by saying stupid shite in other people’s comments instead of just running along and keeping their stupid comments to themselves. All they want is attention to keep themselves relevant but nobody cares about the delusional cultist information they want to spew. They can remain dumb if they want to or try to have an intelligent and mature conversation to see if there’s any validity to what’s being said. Plus not all Latin people came from anywhere, a lot of us are from Here but have educated ourselves enough to realize how the US has historically destabilized our ancestors countries then have wanted to wash their hands of us like we’re disposable no, F that ! The thing is we won’t allow ourselves to be used and thats why were here trust me i would much rather live in the motherland but the US sucked us dry and then gave us some cheap
a$$ boots with no bootstraps to pull ourselves by!
This country needed Donald J TRUMP! Thank you Mr President
Unfortunately we should of had our own grocery franchises, banks, in every sector. Time for us to decide to get together PERIODT
I don't know why Roland or the other lady didn't mention creating a new franchise to compete with target
I just want to mention that Black grocers and more has been done before, across the nation. Not that it shouldn't happen again. I just think sometimes we don't know our own histories.
@@kululivestreaming369* They did.
YES, CREATE YOUR OWN WALMART, BANKS, AND OTHER COMPANIES AND STOP DEPENDING ON WHITE OWN COMPANIES.
Oklahoma did it! We were our own Black Wall Street! The hate was real, that’s why they burned it down! We need to go back to what our ancestors fought for to get us where we were PRE Turmeric-Man
I will totally boycott Target and I will order black products on line thank you Nina Turner 💖
Yea but if you order them from Amazon your not helping the cause cuz they too sold their soul to the 🍊 evil racist creature
Thank you for this. Roland is asking the difficult, but necessary questions.
Right. And she was not willing to listen and learn. The ego always gets in the way. Have some humility.
Roland was so right about this. I just wish that he had a conversation with Nina about a list of demands BEFORE the interview.
Exactly!
Actually Roland is really against the boycott because of the black business who does business with target. That's why he was pushing her about the demands.
She should have come forth with a specific plan.
She was SUPER CLEAR. Target announced that it was canceling its DEI initiatives. Her demand is that Target reinstate what it says it canceled, or institute initiatives that are substantially similar. That's very clear and concise.
I think she was clear but the demands aren’t as specific as they should be. Stating “they should be fully committed to DEI” doesn’t fully or specifically explain what that means because there isn’t a specific action item. It’s a fair line of questioning imo
EDIT- I see that Nina is open to suggestions on the overall approach which is helpful to the cause. That specificity in the ask is absolutely necessary
I'm getting rid of my Sam's club membership. I've been a member for 19 years..😢 sad but i can't stand with someone who wouldn't stand for me.
If you have a Costco in your area, get that membership instead.
They will be happy and make more money with out you 🎉🎉
@@Vness-yt4nmyou sound racist my dude
@@Vness-yt4nmthe way that you think we won’t make a change is hilarious! Walmarts and targets have been empty. You must not know how powerful we the people are
@@femalebabypluto Target has been empty!!😂😂🤣🤣 Where at????? Black people might might make up like 5%-8% of Target customers on a good year. White WOMEN keep target in business. 🤣
Did my part !Drove pass target today and found another alternative.
What was your alternative
@@Hotcinnamon111gas station 😂😂😂
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I'm not shopping there anymore. Costco or Black owned store.
@@maxamed4yareno ..Costco and Black owned store!.
@@maxamed4yare where are you Gonna buy your laundry soap and dish soap, and trash bags?
It was tiny but my Target has a Black History Month section. I still want to support black businesses where I can 🖤
@@Shellz. Buy directly from their digital storefronts.
May all folk have a courageous, great and prosperous 'Black History Month', from the U.K.
Like Roland said, we need people of all races in this fight
@tiniesmalls06 I'm always in with my black brothers and sisters. Blacks are the moral back bone of this nation. And although the Mexican government has always given shelter and support, from the war of independence to post reconstruction, today too many latinos in the US are poorly educated and misinformed about your history, which in reality is no different than ours. But today also, more blacks are welcomed and can live in Mexico where you have more freedoms that you have in this white supremacist nation envoldened and ready to enslave blacks again. When you ready to lead again, we'll be next to you all. The only answer to these times of pain and violence is true Solidarity. SOLIDARITY NOW, SOLIDARITY TOMORROW, SOLIDARITY FOR EVER!
We need people of all raced as we laugh at Latino deportation and Arabs because some votes for 47. I don't understand. We don't know how to move in silence. When the leaders talked we should consume the information and know how to move. Can't tell people I told you so then say we need their help.
Rolling funny, he wants his money 🤡
Yes, indeed, especially the Black and Latino community.
@@silvestrepanzer5265teach!!!°
I am going to stand up in my church tomorrow and announce this boycott initiative. I am sure the congregation will follow.
Amen!! Let them know!!
🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🥸no really🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧
I agree to boycott after we buy all the black products first
Why? Stay seated and wait to see if your church leadership brings this topic to the congregation. If they don't, then question whether your church leadership has enough social awareness to be leading a congregation.
A real church is only concerned about soul & Jesus Christ. Politics don't exist only Satan when we speak other than bible. Your church is scary and will lead many astray💯🙏
I agree with her. We need to have our own grocery stores on a larger level.
The Black grocery store in my neighborhood closed down. Even when they were open, they lacked variety in every category. Being black is not enough, we must be comparable.
What's the plan? How can we do it? Using whose money? Who has the high level grocery retail and whole sale connections and strategy? How can we learn it? Stop say "we need, we need" and create and execute a plan to do it.
@@jamdee6 Those are the questions we should have been asking years ago. We should have been getting educated, stopping crime/drugs/gangs in our communities, stopping single motherhood. The things you mention require education, money and investment skills. Apparently, we never prioritized those things.
We need a list of black owned businesses all over the country ASAP!
Sounds very segregated and racist right there.
Roland was right to ask for specifics. Asking a corporation to be “Fully committed to DEI” can mean a million things. Actionable steps lead to progress and accountability.
Happy Black History. I am already boycotting Walmart, and will now do Target. I really wish there was a Costco within 100 miles of me. I will support you all the way.
White lady get real ninjas don't stick together, and if they really stood for something there grown in the first place how does another adult make u choose where u shop in ur household, these ppl are kids tht needs pampering I bet u wally world aint gon miss yall they still have other adults like me tht will spend and these same ninjas will shop online lolol to hide there shame
U don't evn a have a Costco near u krazy lady lolol get real WALLY WORLD HERE U COME LOLOLOL
Depending on your needs, Costco does ship.
@@Sochi314 thank you. I will look into it.
You don't have to shop these locations but please buy stock in the companies. Shareholders have voting rights in the directions companies advance.
Thanks for pressing her for clarity, Roland.
She wasn't clear. She doesn't realize Roland see through all that double talk and not answering the questions. Roland Martin's followers are educated listeners.
He don't have to be so rude
@@Riva-u9oI didn't find him rude. He is very pointed in his questions, and she's not answering his direct question.
She doesn’t really have a plan or her only focus is black products on shelves- but then she should have said that
@@lisaevans5843 he was rude !!
I really wish Roland Martin would not interrupt his guests. I think it is antithetical to the conversation that he needs to have with them and the information that they need to give us.
Lets make America Think Again
Now I Love This!
TRUMPTRUMP
This is the best post I've seen, WHY IS TRUMP ALLOWED TO RUN WILD WITH OUR COUNTRY ....and nobody's stopping him very scary Evil thrives when good men( and) women do nothing ..... I heard this not sure who said it but it's true.
We need to stop saying DEI and Start Saying Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.. The Definition of these words Speaks for themselves...
Yes, you are certainly correct. We need to start saying the words. Yes, when black bodies were littered all over the US of A we started saying their names!!!! Now, we will also note that by the list is done we will all be shopping in Goodwill. This is the time for Goodwill to step up and start carrying products. real products.
Excellent point! Start asking, Are you against diversity, equity (fair pay), and inclusion? Because that requires a lot more work than saying you're against "DEI" in the abstract.
Exactly. A lot of people don't even know what it stands for
Yes and point out that these programs (especially fed govt) include protected classes of people not based on race and gender. For instance JD Vance got 2 degrees fully funded from Yale because of Yale’s DEI program that includes people born in Appalachian
How about saying none of them, we went from Negro Afro American to African Americans to Blacks to DEI. What's next
Nina was clear enough. Restoring their original promise is what we are asking. Getting that demand met, really shows the power of the people. I will get my items at Costco.
I just want to say this. I love my beautiful black sisters. We have the ability to hold the line
Stop this brown stuff bc a lot Mexicans are racist.
You go sister. One day somebody will put a statue of you up in the town. 😂
Don't follow Nina..she is not for black woman.
WHY BROWN, GLAMOURINC?
@richardmoore1600 Not writing a dissertation. Have a spectacular day and God speed
This was so good because when things like boycotts, etc start to happen there has to be a plan and outcome expected. Very positive conversation. Very thought provoking.
Yes these boycotts will really hurt these stores. The delivery guys not having enough work to replace all the stolen items is a travesty, 😂😂
Roland, thanks for seeking clarity. It’s needed! We all have the same goal, but we need a clear roadmap!
It’s a bit funny how sour when Roland for once was asking reasonable questions
Roland is bought and paid for. "Target said they would spend 2 billion in advertising with black owned media is one way they will be spending that two billion."
He's compromised. Sista Nina Knows it too😢
He came across hard headed. She told him six ways to Sunday a boycott of Target.
No don’t say the plan on air
I’ve been following Rev. AL’s plan to boycott.
✊🏿 Dr. King sent us by here. ✊🏿
I’ll say this Rolland Martin is a fool. I’ll say this about Martin Luther king I share the same birthday with Martin Luther King. I’ll say this if Martin Luther King he be ashamed of a guy like Martin Luther King.
Roland Martin is great: keep yourself healthy! We need your voice.
Nina was getting was getting frustrated with Roland interrupting 😂😂
He’s asking legit questions. If you haven’t thought it through or considered what he’s asking just say so and say you’ll go back to the drawing board. Instead of the “your old” trope. Everyone learns from wisdom it shouldn’t be counted out. Because of my years of life I saw it coming. It took to many to actually see it. It took T to come power. I was told that was back then it doesn’t apply now. Oops 😬
@@therenegaderev469you’re missing the point. Fix your hairstyle so you can learn the difference between learning and interrupting. Bc nothing you said had to do with the comment above
This ninja caping for Target
It's a reason for that, why she gets frustrated.
He was only trying to get her to be clear on what she was saying. She interrupted him also.
Start our own. 💯
Spend money with those that already exist!!
That's extremely comical.
U can’t even run ur own hood. What makes you think 💭 you can manage billions dollars 💵
Yall are machines ppl gotta tell u where to spend yo funds lololol ninjas aint sht
You can't have a coalition without the specifics.
There is no Black and Brown coalition. Who yall think yall fooling. 🤔
Higher more people as upper managers, promote employees, pay well don't drop black products
There was space for collaboration. Her organization did a great job calling us all to action. It may not be their expertise to strategize in specific ways, and that's ok. Instead of making her feel inadequate, they could have acknowledged the work her organization had done and joined her by respectfully offering insight. They tried to make it seems as though she was naive, and that put her in defense mode.
This is where both of you as long with the rest of us should collaborate, strategize, and execute a plan that elevates us as a race of people from this point forward. Imo
This ain't your grandpa's civil rights boycott! We are fighting a fully organized, well armed violent fascist regime. No time for "strategic planing" fuck that. People who don't move die! Marshall law is coming right up! So people "let's get busy living or get busy dying" Monday, September 3, 2025 is a A DAY WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS. STAY HOME DONT BUY ANYTHING IN SOLIDARITY WITH ALL IMMIGRANTS!
She telling the TRUTH ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Nina you’re a warrior with courage the love for our people is real, for sure and I am down with you. However, it’s important to be teachable w/o getting defensive. We’re all trying to figure this shit out. You’re not alone I’m in Kansas City, Mo and have been with you for years.
It might be a good idea to follow the playbook in the book “Operation Bread Basket.”
The book is a well thought out boycott strategy that was effective for Black folk in Chicago.
Please be open to tweak the Target boycott you have courageously began to make it more comprehensive and measurable.
We are all trying to figure out how to coalition together consistently with the same asks and measures for it to be successful. Half measures won’t work.
You’re doing your best and it’s great work. Keep the great work up be open to expanding the asks of Target with specific outcomes.
The enemy is white supremacists and we need to work together across the board. We have to get this right now more than ever.
We cannot let ego divide us as it has with so many Black leaders and groups.
Remember no one person knows it all.
much respect
BAF
Thank you Ronald for pressing her to be specific in her ask. A lot of people do not take us serious because we don’t have an end goal. We want change. But what is the change that we are seeking. We need articulate responses and to be able to understand perfectly. We are living in a time of accountability and it’s going to start with us taking accountability on ourselves if we want others to do the same.
Agreed! It was hard to listen to this as Roland kept cutting her off.
@ he had to because she wasn’t being clear on her demands
"Black" history is human history! "Black" history is world history! "Black" history is American history and AmeriKKKa's past and present history!

This is a time the BLACK CHURCH needs to step up for real. They can collectively build and start a big box store.

Yes, she should have had her “asks” more succinctly identified, but I still support
I totally agree to total boycott.
Boycott all companies. Buying black products in the store still puts money in these corporations' pockets. The businesses should have links or websites where we can support them instead of these corporations still benefitting from people they care nothing about.
It will hurt black brands though. I would be remiss to see any of them go under (unless they support Trump!)
Do you understand the primary reason African Americans shop at stores like Walmart?
It’s CHEAPER!!!!!
@@andremetsif walmart is the option in your area avoid walmart brands like great value and mainstays. Buy minority owned brands if possible.
Not all minority brands are large enough to have their own websites. But we can definitely use that option if it's available.
Let's buy direct for the black products. That means NO AMAZON delivery also🤗
My membership is up on the 17 th of April 2025. I am so switching to Costco this weekend. I stand with you Mr. Roland, I am boycotting all businesses that are named. Peace!!!!! 🙏
Thank you we need clear guidance in order for this impact to make a difference
Ninjas don't stick together period lets be honest
I love sister Turner’s passion for our people
He’s so confrontational with her 😮sheesh !
Over 60 yrs ago I went to tech school in Keesler AFB Biloxi Miss. to train to be an air traffic controller even though the career field was overwhelmingly white I and my fellow Black did extremely well and worked alongside our white coworkers in complete absolute harmony. To hear Trump denigrate DEI and throw shade on controllers Black and white is disgusting, they are and we were absolute profressionals. Boycott Trump and his rich robber barons.
I totally get what you were asking. A full list of specific demands needs to be made. Not an overview.
I’m not surprised by Target and Walmart but how in the world could McDonalds, a company that’s been invested in Black community partnerships for decades do this? Are they rolling back or rebranding it to comply with the current administration’s agenda? Mr. Roland, please shed some light on this.
It's called being fickle and two-faced.
Idk. Maybe because black people didn't actually benefit from dei. Do your research and you'll find that this is yt women's and the alphabet mafias fight, not ours.
That's what I said about McDonald's. They have been donating to minorities for a long time. They should have made a statement that they were going back to the way they were, which means we are stripping the label DEI but that doesn't stop anything.

Roland is outstanding. The push may seem hard but he's actually doing her a favor. He is exposing the points that she's lacking clarity...giving her the opportunity to go back to the table and shore up before going forward. I recognize these uncomfortable moments as growth...he's stretching her and she needs to see it for just that. She will appreciate it once she comes out of her feelings. This is the beginning of creating a template on how to approach a boycott. Knowledge is power and we all need to be soaking up these points he's sharing. Thanks Roland!❤
Rolland Martin is a fool.
I did go to Target today to pick up Tab's products. You saw maybe 1-2 Blacks. I didn't realize it started today, February 1rst. I am more mindful now.
It's okay sis. I didn't have time to prepare before. There is one item I need to get from there and I am done.😊
People started boycotting the day after Target announced that they were rolling back their DEI initiative. I went inside Target the next day to return what I purchased and it was dead inside for a Saturday.

Here's some black history for them, from Air Force military site:
"Black service members have fought in every single American conflict. The U.S. Army History Office estimates around 5,000 warriors in the American Revolution were Black. These men served in the artillery (the most advanced branch of service during the period), the infantry, as laborers, and even musicians. One particular unit, the 1st Rhode Island Regiment, drove George Washington to agree to allow Black Soldiers who were slaves, to earn freedom through service. The regiment earned a reputation for bravery and ferocity. At the Battle of Newport in 1778, the regiment fought so fiercely one of the Hessian officers resigned his commission rather than leading his men against the 1st Rhode Island."
Can’t be just a novelty. Yes she’s right! Good job. She’s on glad to have NINA!!!
Thanks!
I love Sister Queen warrior Nina !!! ❤💐🙏🏼🤲🏼💪🏼💛👑
Stop spending with these kinds of people. In fact, we should save our money and not spend for the entire month of February
Exactly! For those even thinking about rolling back.
That's not possible
Shttttttttt am finna shop more finally these woke companies waking up
@ words have lost all meaning I see. Being anti-woke is “waking up” now? This is the dumbest timeline.
@@mamaj7104 bad part about it, I know smh
I got rid of about 12 apps and subscriptions. My black job is to spend my black dollars on black businesses!!! ❤
@@Jessica-pi5wh I know that's right!
I don’t use target
I walked into target and I MISSED😂😂😂
I'm glad to see the panel being more gentle with the questioning the ask 😉
Happy Black History Month, my beautiful black melaninated Kings & Queens 🤴🏾👸🏾
What is this history you speak of? I’ve never heard about it.
Thank you for your persistence with the pressing into specificity
I agree with Mr.Roland you have to have a strategy for people to join and jump on board with you...... Point Blank!!!!
Best news I have heard this year. Black Americans and white americans. Vetrans, women and disabled all need to boycot to get their voice heard load and clear.
Sisters, We got good news. I'm with Us all the way .
Hi Nina. We miss you. Please appear more. We like what you say.❤
10 minutes in and I appreciate Roland’s line of questioning. My personal issue issue is “if the boycott appears clearly under-cooked and/or under-languaged, do I support it or not?” Love Nina Turner.
Can you please put out a list of the companies we should be boycotting due to them bowing to bigotry and discrimination
Google "boycott" like I did. You find all sorts of information on boycotts for stores.
😂😂I take it the op was being sarcastic and talking the P.
@@patchworkbluez1606Must be a full time job boycotting all these Companies. Mind you there is probably less crime in these stores now……
Target,Amazon, McDonald's Walmart burger king taco bell KFC coca cola Starbucks ihop Chevron Tesla's theres more I know
Just how are people going to boycott tech companies that discriminate? And, many do.
It's more easy to boycott a retail store. For many types of tech companies, if you are in the tech field, you don't buy tech company products directly, so you can't just boycott the company.
What Roland is saying is the following: list your demands, for instance, 1-2-3-4-5, etc.
Should have don’t that off the air before the interview
Roland was preaching. AMEN!
So much appreciation for black community by helping us thank you!!!!
Roland Nina and the organization deserve a ⭐️ for their effort. Seems like she is open to and will welcome suggestions from the Elders.
😢 well she wasn’t prepared for this type of questioning. There is not an organized agenda of “what we want”.
Exactly! He had valid questions. But he did interrupt a LOT.
It is organized. How organized you need to be to know not to do something you’re being asked not to do?
I agree , she just kept repeating herself . It’s simple #1) boycott completely #2) donate to such and such organization #3) hold so and so yearly festivals etc … now let’s try this again 🤦🏽♀️. We need a sentence, a period, then another sentence…
Nina has become a grifter
Where are we gonna buy from?
It’s goes without saying.. establish promoting black owned businesses.
Save your money, less spending anywhere.
Yes save it and give it to BLM
We need a list of black owned businesses. Where I live, we don't even have a restaurant or a general store.
This back and forth is very informative. It helps to understand in a deeper way how to stand on business from all angles. Thank you, both.
Would it be a good start to have a collaborative website store that sells black/minority owned products that can maybe lead to physical stores? 🤔
Good morning, thank you for your honest journalism. May God protect America in this difficult times. history.
HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH, EVERYONE!!!🙌🏽🎈🎊✊🏽🎈🙌🏽🎉🎈✊🏽🎊🎈🎉✊🏽🎈🙌🏽🎊🤩🎈🎉😍✊🏽
I don’t care for her. She was speaking negative against Madam VP. I’m glad Roland went in because he remembers too. He mentioned her a few weeks ago.
THANK YOU Roland and Nina!
Costco should incorporate an order/delivery service similar to Amazon so that people don't have to travel to purchases from Wal-Mart, Target or order from Amazon. Thing should return to normal in 4 years, but we would have established a great back-up plan.
She's so direct and passionate abt this. You can feel her energy I'm loving it. We all must stand together.....
Don’t forget Walmart and McDonalds.
Don’t forget your mom and pop.
Roland is asking Nina questions that are much bigger than her. She will not have all of the answers. This target issue began. People have to start from somewhere with a plan, which Nina appears to have. The true program can be modified as the boycott happens. Nina will not have a full playbook if this an issue that is new to everyone.
Im white Hispanic and i already never go to target. I try to go to HEB instead of WALMART but i know im shooting the dark with out with out a little guidance. So im all for boycotts like the ones you are talking about just tell me what to boycott.
I'm so glad she stood her ground with Roland!
Bless this sisters heart...thank you Roland for last week's discussion on the asks. My poor sister is lost
I am on board with this. No more Target, or Amazon.
I don’t eat McDonald’s either they don’t get a penny of my money
I eat there for lunch every work day because it’s close but I’m going to stop. Taking food is better for me anyways. The people there are nice - mostly immigrants. But I refuse to support companies that supported those that hurt us
McDonalds is so expensive now. How can you afford to eat there?
He's saying tell Target to add our products back and how much would you like for Target to invest in black business or into our communities. If we're spending our money have a bullet point on what you want them to do..
Small minority owned businesses face a huge uphill battle to get on the shelves of big box retailers…We are not faceless corporations with unlimited marketing budgets..and as difficult as it is to get on the shelf, it is even more difficult to keep our products on the shelves…Please spread the word to support our Black owned brands within Target and others..
I like her. Very professional, very classy, driven!!!
We need to unionize these workers and organize together
Target, Walmart, Amazon all getting boycotted in my house!
What about TH-cam? Google cut their DEI in 2023. They own TH-cam.
Same here
If u gotta be told where to spend yo money u ninjas aint sht lol the fallen u are lolololol hitting walmart rite now
Sold McDonald's stock and bought Costco. Im still not shopping at Target 🎯.
