Summary
Racial justice group leaders called for a national boycott of Target during a rally Thursday in front of the offices of the Minneapolis-based retailer.
Target announced last week that it would end its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and investments. The initiatives include a program it established aimed at helping Black employees build meaningful careers, improving the experience of Black shoppers and promoting Black-owned businesses, following the police killing of George Floyd in 2020.
I’m not surprised with Target, they’ve caved repeatedly over the years. This isn’t new.
DEI initiatives were always about making profits. It was never about doing the right thing.
Just recently though. They used to be support of equity, inclusion and queer rights before it became super popular. I think I read they supported TC Pride for 15 years before this year. So they are exactly Walmart on the Rainbow Washing bandwagon.
