So many Black people need business ideas. What a great opportunity this could be to start our own ecosystem.

Fuck Jeff Bezos!
Be mindful of where you spend your money. You could be financing those who seek to oppress you.
Also proponents: Costco’s decision to stand by DEI efforts sent a clear message: 'Black America, we see you, and we value you.'"

It's not in the post
Oh well
This whole thread pisses me off.
I’m no Nazi!😡
PASS IT ON!!!✊🏼🇺🇸✊🏼
#RESISTANCEISBEAUTIFUL!!!🌹
They don't care if your Asian, Jamaican, New Zealand or whatever else you are.
They respect you all and want to do business with you ALL.
Stop making it about color!
This is way beyond color!
Also--to repeat--just a good place to shop. Check out their spring/summer garden and yard supplies, including greenhouse/mini-greenhouse options.
Speedy checkout with efficient teamwork by upbeat workers at each check stand--what's not to like?
Target is finding out right now.

c'est la vie
ELBOWS UP
I have more money in my pocket less plastic crap and I feel so much better. It can be done.
And that’s how I heard it.
Dear corporate CEO's: Your decisions will affect your profits. I love this for Costco! Target can go belly-up for all I care!
However I wish we would stop equating DEI to only affecting Black people. It’s so much more.
Racists limit the definition to only Black people to gain support from other racists.
With excellent customer service.
Women
Minorities
Disabled
Etc
They are currently on the right side of history. I'm not handing out cookies til I see how it goes
All religions or non religions
All cultures
All people
Your community provides you with customers and employees.
Trump and his GOP Nazis are manoeuvring to isolate black America.
But they have a problem
They can’t deport you like the idiot MAGA Latinos and Mexicans so…
They will stir up racial hatred and attack black voting rights.
Trump is coming for you stand back and stand by
we see you
More blacks shop at Target (11%) vs Costco (5%).
Just googled info. Who knew that Costco is in a position to not take a stand, but did anyway--and Target wasn't, but also took one.
Very very interesting indeed. Fuck you Target.
What about women, what about Asians, what about Latinos, what about anybody that’s not a white male?
If DEI is about only one minority, I guess I’m with Trump on this one.
trump is coming for you
DEI = AMERICA
anti-DEI = RACISM
plus
Xenophobia:
is the fear or dislike of anything that is perceived as being foreign or strange
Newspapers and other idiots complained about Hillary Clinton's server when males had done worse and NSA does NOT care about security.
How many of the idiots are complaining about DOGE and contacted Congress?
in these interesting times:

Please pass it on 🙏
"Social Security, facing pressure from DOGE, weighs big cuts to phone service Agency considers ending phone program that helps with claims processing and is used by millions of elderly and disabled"
…and grabbed lunch (their great $1.50 hot dog and soda meal)
Deep in my soul.
:)
This made me smile.
This gets you in past the card checkers, and you can check out what they offer pick and up a few essentials.
B. Just another reason why our family continues to shop at Costco. Should be enough to get the others back on the right side of history, but alas.
ngl. i miss shopping at the costco business centre.
