Calling Target’s decision to scale back its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives “a spit in the face of black people,” megachurch Pastor Jamal Bryant is pushing a 40-day boycott of the retail giant starting at the beginning of Lent on March 5.

Bryant, who leads New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest, Georgia, expressed disappointment in his sermon Sunday over what he saw as Target’s abandonment of the company’s commitment to help advance racial equity. This includes a commitment by the company to spend more than $2 billion at black-owned businesses by 2025.

The Georgia pastor accused Target of capitulating, along with other large corporations such as Walmart, to the White House’s push to end DEI policies that “undermine our national unity,” among other things.

Can't blame Target, and others, for finally realizing DEI is only losing money and not really helping anyone along the way.
