1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: So many Minneapolis based Target will phase out its DEI

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: programs that support black employees, black owned businesses, and LGBTQ

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: plus inclusion. After hearing this, a lot of blacks took

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: social media to call for massive boycotting.

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: Of all Target stores.

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: Social media influencer Tabitha Brand posted a video to make

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: consumers aware of how a boycott would negatively impact the

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: sales of black owned brands that are sold in Target stores.

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: Tabitha Brand has several products that are now being sold

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: at Target. Research gathered for the Insider shows at nearly

11
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: eight out of ten shoppers in the US shop at Target,

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: and Target's typical consumer is a white suburban mother between

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: the ages of thirty five and forty four with a

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: household income of eighty thousand dollars.

15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: So here's a question, what do you guys think about this?

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: If we boycott Target, do we boycott every restore that

17
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: has gotten rid of its d EI program and all?

18
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: And I believe Target was one of the contributors to

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 3: the Trump campaign, if I'm.

20
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: Not mistaken, one of the biggest, I think.

21
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken, So you're dealing with an ownership

22
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: that is pro Trump anyway.

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 4: Yeah.

24
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 3: Oh, Now, what you have to pay attention to is

25
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 3: how many companies follow suit. He did what he said

26
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: he was gonna do, and you boycotting target. I mean, okay,

27
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: if that's what y'all want to do, but what is

28
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: that gonna do? Because she's absolutely correct the black businesses

29
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: that have products in there, they gonna get hurt too.

30
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: It's just a we're in a tough spot here, man,

31
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: because all this is in Project twenty twenty five. You

32
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 3: see this, make America great again. I kept trying to

33
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: tell people, make America great again for who All you

34
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: could do is push it back. And every time we

35
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: push back, we pushing back into all types of stuff.

36
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: The DEI is affecting college entry level stuff. They erased

37
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 3: the nineteen sixty four Civil.

38
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: Rights actable, right, that's right.

39
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: Do you understand there's no more affirmative action, that's no

40
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: more holding people to the eye to make sure the

41
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 3: minorities are included. Na, man, So now they gonna make

42
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,839
Speaker 3: America great again when it was greater for them when

43
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: they controlled everything, And now they're back to control and

44
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: they can hire who they want to.

45
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 4: Hire, do like they want to do. And that's a

46
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 4: sad space win.

47
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: Now, and you got to think about it.

48
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: You're sir right, Steve, about hurting our black businesses. I mean,

49
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: when you think about it, it's Tamoth Tabatha brand, it's

50
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: Taraji p Hens and I think she has hair products

51
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: and their Tracy ellis ross with hair products than Target.

52
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: You know, so you're going to be hurting these people

53
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: as well. I mean you want to do something maybe,

54
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: but is this the smartest move?

55
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 3: And if you if you don't get your products out

56
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 3: of Target, where you're gonna go and wherever thats you go?

57
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: Are they doing the same thing? Yeah?

58
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: I mean.

59
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: This guy is doing what he said he's gonna do

60
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: and I and I said all along it will benefit

61
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: the rich, but I'm very deeply concerned about the common man.

62
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 2: You said that that's true.

63
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 3: And and and and and and now it's starting to

64
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: play itself out and it's it's no holes barred man.

65
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: But they said day one, Steve, they said on day one,

66
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: And that's what he's been doing.

67
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: He's been in office for a week.

68
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 4: Man, he picking up people.

69
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: Ices is out there busy picking people up, deporting people.

70
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: Are they down there they're sending troops down to the border,

71
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: you know, and and and dee I. They getting rid

72
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: of all of it because here's the deal. If you

73
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: don't have to understand what the civil rights movement and

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: Affirmative Action did, it made companies have to hire x

75
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: amount of minorities and women because otherwise, now that you

76
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: don't have to do that, you can put your people

77
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: in place, and they can turn a blind eye to

78
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: all of the other stuff that.

79
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 4: Goes on behind closed doors in the boardroom, because.

80
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: If you ain't got no blacks and women in there

81
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: and Latinos and everybody reporting.

82
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, they're doing this, it can go unchecked.

83
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: So now they get to put all of their white

84
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: people in power and.

85
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 4: Position and control the narrative.

86
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're still right.

87
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: In a perfect world, we wouldn't need the EI. In

88
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: a world without racism, we wouldn't need these programs. But

89
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: because it's not a perfect world and there is racism,

90
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: we have to include everyone, and that's what's been happening,

91
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, And now they're cutting that out. So we're

92
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: gonna be left out if we don't. I don't have

93
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: the answer to that.

94
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 3: One America wasn't built on d e I. America was

95
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: built on the backs of slaves. So now let's just

96
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 3: make America.

97
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,720

Speaker 4: And here we are, man, So it's gonna be a

99
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 4: long ride. Yeah yeah. And how do we fight this though?

100
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: What is the plan to fight this? Do we have

101
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 4: a plan to fight this? The fight was at the

102
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 4: voting box.

103
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 2: In November.

Speaker 3: That that was That was the fight. Yeah, and you

105
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: lost that fight, so now you got to take the

00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 3: ass whipping.

107
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: Ye.

Speaker 4: I don't.

110
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,440

117
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 3: He's trying to flip that. That's constitutionally not the correct

118
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 3: thing to do.

119
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,279
