In line with the presidential attack on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), major corporations have rolled back their DEI initiatives, including Target, drawing ire from its Black-owned brands and its customer base. What are your thoughts?

Target is not the end-all, be-all. It’s time for group economics like Dr. Claude Anderson has been advocating.

These businesses need their own websites. Target and others can kick rocks.

People, especially Black people, need to go to their corporate website and read what they’ve chosen to do. It’s not only DEI initiatives, but initiatives that were specific to Black business owners and their own Black employees! It’s disgusting and blatant racism! 

Deborah Bostick, Washington, D.C.

They don’t care about their Black patronage today or tomorrow. Save yourself the trouble of shopping with them and buy direct from the vendors online and buy often.

Kevin Anderson, Philadelphia

Stop supporting businesses that don’t support you.
