1 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: All right, so let's get into this Target Fast or 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: the Target boycott, whatever you want to call it. Late 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: last week, Pastor Jamal Bryant announced that the Quote Target 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: Fast was officially over and he claimed victory after meetings 5 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: with Target's new CEO, Michael Fidelki. Pastor Bryant stated that 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: Target met three of their four primary demands, including fulfilling 7 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: a two billion dollar investment pledge in black owned businesses 8 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 1: and maintaining a quote Belonging program. Over the weekend, a 9 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: team of organizers in Minnesota declared that the Target boycott 10 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: is still going on and challenged Pastor Bryant's authority to 11 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: just up and cancel the boycott. Pastor Bryant then released 12 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: a video to walk back his statement on the Target Fast. 13 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: Bryant said, quote, I made assumptions that were not true, 14 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: and I wanted to apologize for being a leader that 15 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: was out of touch with what the community wanted and 16 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: what the community was demanding. He stated that the expectations 17 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: of the black community extend beyond the demand the four 18 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: demands presented to Target. He said he takes full responsibility 19 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: for quote not reading the room. On social media, the 20 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: comments were mostly in support of continuing the Target boycott, 21 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: whether Target brings back its DEI program or not. A 22 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: handful of other comments claimed they've missed Target and can't 23 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: wait to shot there again. Can't we got. 24 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:38,279 Speaker 2: But you know, I think hats off though to Jamal 25 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: Bryant for what he did. He drew on, he got attention. 26 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: You know. Now, what I do know is you can't 27 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: make everybody happy. So he apologized. But you know, when 28 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: you get a corporation to make those type of concessions, 29 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: that's a great move. Now this group out of Minnesota 30 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 2: once more. Look, I don't know what the demands are. 31 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: I participated in the boycott. I didn't. 32 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, we did very badly. Someday the boycotts they work. 33 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: You know, they can affect change, political change, social change. 34 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: I would also the bottom line Carl that yes. 35 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 2: I just won't admit that the boycott had no. 36 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: Offect you with out well, some of us suffered. 37 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was driving bout.
