I haven't shopped at Walmart since the recent election results. Walmart donated more money to Republicans than Democrats. Their decision to cut back on DEI programs and layoffs are additional reasons why I’ve made the switch.

@@DarkPassengerThere was a time when discrimination was everywhere. Why do you think DEI practices were introduced in the first place? Because everything was fair for everybody? Getting rid of DEI inititiatives, in effect, is saying, it's done its job and now we can focus on merit.

Unfortunately I don't have a choice Target and Kroger's are way too expensive for me to afford. I wont eat food from a company that I've never heard of be4.

I hate ppl have polarized and politicized DEI by making it all about race. Especially when DEI helps others from those aging the workplace, neurodivergent advocacy because most ppl don’t to think to champion for ppl whose disabilities are not seen on the surface, accessibility efforts to help those who have disabilities from visual to hearing, and this goes across and benefits all racial identities. Stop falling for the fallacies and biases that enable you to only see things from one vantage point. The gag for me is, if things were equitable, there wouldn’t be a need for these efforts. Seeing the humanity in everyone, would take us so much farther than the tribalism and division we see today. The continuous propaganda we see on social media only divides us. It doesn’t solve anything. Have a safe and pleasant Thanksgiving
You right!! I guarantee they gave millions to DT, it shows. Walmart has made all its money off of DEI communities. But one side has done a great job of marketing DEI as ‘Black’, leaving out special needs, etc. Aldi and Target it is for me!!
I'm an autistic woman with hearing loss, so I fit into your definition of "diverse". You are not considering context. This isn't about who they hire, it's about contracting with suppliers. They're not going to stop hiring diverse people. With Trump's new tariffs on the horizon, they're going to need all the flexibility they can get to choose the lowest cost American-made goods. I'm sure they'll still import a lot, but they're definitely going to take a hit. Overseas companies are going to pass the cost of tariffs on to American suppliers and stores like Walmart, who will pass the costs on to American consumers. Many of Walmart's customers are low income, or at least many low income people shop at Walmart because their dollars go further there. If they're able to save money, it's going to help low income consumers. If they have to keep buying more expensive American made goods from black-owned or female-owned suppliers, it's going to hurt low-income consumers, many of whom are "diverse" according to your definition. I'd prefer they do everything they can to help the low-income diverse Americans versus a handful of high-income diverse Americans.
What he fails to realize is that it's not just a handful of extremists. A large part of this country have an inherent privilege that is not merit based within itself (hence the word inherent) but they still believe it to be. They saw themselves losing that privilege and did not want to give it up. Many others who want to be associated with that inherent privilege even thought it's biologically impossible for them to have it themselves also are going in that direction in order to be adjacent to said privilege.
What about the people not looking for privilege but looking to get a FAIR CHANCE to get their foot in the door what do they do when its not based on what they can provide but based on something else...noooow what could that ever be? hmmmmmmm

How is it that nobody knew the billions of dollars Walmart has paid out in settlements for being caught time and time again using child labor and other countries.
Exactly ! And I think people automatically think black . But diversity includes race , age , sex , religion . Each one of these categories have groups that are purposefully marginalized and oppressed. So it needs to be purposely changed because a lot of damage has already been done
@@kayh301they think black bc republicans have for years shoved it down the throats as if it’s only about black people and the powers that be only challenged it when it’s a direct question but they should have challenged it every time they said it as fact. A lie by omission is still a lie.
I have stopped shopping at Walmart and plan to discontinue my prescriptions. It is my money. I also have a choice to spend my money where I am respected.
I see everyone saying they will shop at Target or Dollar Store, etc. instead. You’ve completely missed the point. How do you know that all of those other businesses have been diverse, have valued equity and inclusion. You don’t. The best thing you can do is to take your money to small businesses and stop using corporate middlemen. If you want to make things truly inclusive then seek out these smaller businesses and frequent them.
@@newtonmediavirtualassistan193You CAN know what companies are doing. Research. They aren’t perfect, it’s corporate. You can be informed of their practices though. Shopping with small businesses isn’t something that poor working families are able to do. People in areas where there aren’t any is a thing. Small businesses can’t offer competitive prices. It’s a nice thought, but we need to be practical as well.
They just don’t want blacks shopping there and that’s ok….. we blacks need to shop other places I’ve been saying that for years …. Why do black Americans feel the need to beg suppliers or companies to take their money??
At the corporate level White women were the greatest benefactors of DEI efforts. It's unfortunate that this fact is often omitted in the conversation and minorities are made the face of DEI.
This is just the beginning. It’s happening rapidly in workplaces, universities finding reasons to deny acceptance or prevent students from completing their degrees (this happened to me personally). Meanwhile, some businesses are quietly choosing who they want as customers. Stay tuned.
@tr2404 So true, this was already occurring well over a year ago. It was "popular" for major corporations to adopt the "DEI" culture years ago when you had all the police shootings and BLM movement. Fake! Companies running ads saying "we're all in this together", putting black people on their company page. I've worked in corporate for decades and the people at the very top are not black! This was nothing more than a facade and now that it's faded out they don't have to hire minorities at all.
For some it’s not so easy to boycott because they are in rural areas and only have a Walmart, but here are some ways that you can still hurt their bottom line: When you shop there only buy your basics, don’t buy clothing, Home Goods, or electronics that they make larger profits on. Also don’t buy the Walmart brands such as great value, equate, mainstays, Sam’s choice, better homes & gardens and others. These are lower price brands, but since they are actually made by Walmart they make more money on them. All of us can contribute and vote with our dollars in some way.
Also, they should try to shop at Aldis if they have one in the rural areas. I'm in a small rural town in SC where they only have Walmart and Aldis as affordable places for groceries. Now switching to Aldi, and when we move to Texas next year and wherever I go in the future I'll never shop at Walmart ever again.
@@allenmondesir We don't have Publix in my state so not an issue.. Chick-fil-A is a known NO for years, just like Hobby Lobby. Its just sad that to see companies immediately siding with hate.
It’s time for the Montgomery Bus Boycott all over again for EVERY company listed. There are cell phones, social media and apps now. This can be done! Plus a GRAND opportunity for businesses to be CREATED by these minority groups.
yes, time to rebuild the community unless they make you count jellybeans to get a loan. pool some resources and start your own thing. get creative with financing to rebuild locally,
This isn’t hard my fellow countrymen and women. The one thing that has the biggest voice in this country is the money in your bank account. If you appreciate what Wal-Mart & other companies are doing regarding DEI, do shop there. If the companies that partner w/ Wal-Mart that don’t appreciate what they are doing should pull their product and exclusively partner w/ their direct competitors. LET YOUR WALLET DO THE TALKING!
I worked at the corporate level and saw this DEI refusal real time. There was a McKinsey & Company study shown to us that showed how much work was needed by Walmart to get AA employees from the field level into the corporate level. Then came the BLM movement, and like other corporations it was embraced, but most of us knew it was just a facade and a matter of time before they reneged on the DEI cause.
I haven't shopped at Walmart for years because i hate their business practices. They keep most of their employees part-time, uninsured or under-insured and dependent on social services. Their CEO's decision have just reinforced my feelings. I know Trump being elected has everything to do with his decision. I had been a supporter of Lowe's and avoided Home Depot because of their huge Republican donations but now Lowe's is off my list. I will shop at my local independent hardware store, exclusively.
nail on head.! they never wanted it they felt forced and that was why is so easy to walk away from it. its easy to walk away if you are not committed and that goes for anything in life.
Timing is everything and the timing on this says alot! I have only seen minority workers in my local Walmart and surprisingly the minority is not black. Hopefully this is seen as not just a black issue but an overall diversity issue.
I do most of my shopping online at other stores. Walmart is used for last-minute items that I dont have at home. Now, HEB or the Dollar Store are my go-to stores.
Walmart already has higher prices in urban areas because it assumes this is a high risk area. This means if you live in an urban area Walmart has predetermined you to be a shoplifter. I used to do product promotions and noticed prices were higher in some area stores than others.
Don’t worry about speaking to them, let them keep right on with there removal of services that benefits majority of their customers and employees and they’ll have less of both.
I think people get DEI mixed up with Equal Employment. Does anyone remember the commercials women and minorites encouraged to apply? They need to stop asking race, sex, and gender questions on spplications. That is different than DEI.
right - another system to keep track of who's winning. stop doing the census too if none this matters. just give the same money to everyone and call it a day oh but that would be fair right?
I shop at Meijer. They have better quality of fresh meats and produce. The employees are treated very well and the is not a high turnover of staff. They even offer a continuing education program. Everyone is kind and friendly. AND there’s usually at least 6 cashiers. It is more expensive,however, it is worth the price.
yes, quality over quantity and even walmart quantity has taken a big hit. self checkout with people standing there watching you like a hawk, lord if it wasn't so sad i would be laughing.
@@bcoxal and as it should be sued for not hiring those that are qualified over those that are not. it is sad that we ever needed it in the first place. it's a damn shame that we as a country ever let it come to this in the first place. learning to respect everyone based on humanity not color or gender would have saved us the trouble. but nooooo, that's way too easy. we love conflict!
Thank you!!!! VERY Low class and they have always been that's why I have NEVER VIBED with them! I was raised definitely to not support anything "low class" meaning I only shop for my groceries at MEIJERS in Michigan and have always shopped at Meijers because there food is soooo much fresher and the workers are so professional...

I hate ppl have polarized and politicized DEI by making it all about race. Especially when DEI helps others from those aging the workplace, neurodivergent advocacy because most ppl don’t to think to champion for ppl whose disabilities are not seen on the surface, accessibility efforts to help those who have disabilities from visual to hearing, and this goes across and benefits all racial identities. Stop falling for the fallacies and biases that enable you to only see things from one vantage point. The gag for me is, if things were equitable, there wouldn’t be a need for these efforts. Seeing the humanity in everyone, would take us so much farther than the tribalism and division we see today. The continuous propaganda we see on social media only divides us. It doesn’t solve anything.
Have a safe and pleasant Thanksgiving
Exactly! You have a safe, enjoyable holiday.
Walmart has competition, they gotta be careful cause Aldi's out there giving out $5 coupons lol
You right!! I guarantee they gave millions to DT, it shows. Walmart has made all its money off of DEI communities. But one side has done a great job of marketing DEI as ‘Black’, leaving out special needs, etc. Aldi and Target it is for me!!
True.
I'm an autistic woman with hearing loss, so I fit into your definition of "diverse". You are not considering context. This isn't about who they hire, it's about contracting with suppliers. They're not going to stop hiring diverse people. With Trump's new tariffs on the horizon, they're going to need all the flexibility they can get to choose the lowest cost American-made goods. I'm sure they'll still import a lot, but they're definitely going to take a hit. Overseas companies are going to pass the cost of tariffs on to American suppliers and stores like Walmart, who will pass the costs on to American consumers. Many of Walmart's customers are low income, or at least many low income people shop at Walmart because their dollars go further there. If they're able to save money, it's going to help low income consumers. If they have to keep buying more expensive American made goods from black-owned or female-owned suppliers, it's going to hurt low-income consumers, many of whom are "diverse" according to your definition. I'd prefer they do everything they can to help the low-income diverse Americans versus a handful of high-income diverse Americans.
What he fails to realize is that it's not just a handful of extremists. A large part of this country have an inherent privilege that is not merit based within itself (hence the word inherent) but they still believe it to be. They saw themselves losing that privilege and did not want to give it up. Many others who want to be associated with that inherent privilege even thought it's biologically impossible for them to have it themselves also are going in that direction in order to be adjacent to said privilege.
What about the people not looking for privilege but looking to get a FAIR CHANCE to get their foot in the door what do they do when its not based on what they can provide but based on something else...noooow what could that ever be? hmmmmmmm
@@Ri_Rand Nope stop right there..for over 40 years you say people(ie minorities) have had a small chance but A CHANCE to get their foot in the door to compete in business.. Take that away and your giving them NO CHANCE pushing the times back to the 60s and 70s...
@@manhwarecapdarkhartIt's not the small percentage of qualified candidates (DEI) that's the problem. It's your competition with other people from your background.
Mark Walmart off of my list!!! They're expensive anyways
Bye
THEY DO NOT HAVE WALMARTS IN AFRICA. MOVE THERE IF YOU HATE IT HERE.
I shopped at Target today and am no longer a Walmart customer.
It’s time for us to scale back on how and where we spend our money! Walmart is off my list!!
No more shopping there... ridiculous
I'm glad that I won't run into you there. Thanks!
@cc8751 me too
You people who voted for Trump and his madness, have nothing to complain about, you voted for this and you’ll have to deal with it.
The National Urban League and NAACP, should of did something when DEI went to court
I Don't shop Walmart and I urge others to shop elsewhere!
Walmart about to lose alot of customers.
Probably not
Time to take my business elsewhere.
How is it that nobody knew the billions of dollars Walmart has paid out in settlements for being caught time and time again using child labor and other countries.
Bye
That's Walmart's loss. Diverse companies do better financially and perform better. Walmart will do worse , and their stock price will go down.
Exactly ! And I think people automatically think black . But diversity includes race , age , sex , religion . Each one of these categories have groups that are purposefully marginalized and oppressed. So it needs to be purposely changed because a lot of damage has already been done
@@kayh301they think black bc republicans have for years shoved it down the throats as if it’s only about black people and the powers that be only challenged it when it’s a direct question but they should have challenged it every time they said it as fact. A lie by omission is still a lie.
I have stopped shopping at Walmart and plan to discontinue my prescriptions.
It is my money. I also have a choice to spend my money where I am respected.
I see everyone saying they will shop at Target or Dollar Store, etc. instead. You’ve completely missed the point. How do you know that all of those other businesses have been diverse, have valued equity and inclusion. You don’t. The best thing you can do is to take your money to small businesses and stop using corporate middlemen. If you want to make things truly inclusive then seek out these smaller businesses and frequent them.
Yes!
@@newtonmediavirtualassistan193You CAN know what companies are doing. Research. They aren’t perfect, it’s corporate. You can be informed of their practices though. Shopping with small businesses isn’t something that poor working families are able to do. People in areas where there aren’t any is a thing. Small businesses can’t offer competitive prices. It’s a nice thought, but we need to be practical as well.
The problem is monopolies. They own everything.
But, you still have to give them the chance to mess up?! Don't you? I wouldn't shop at Target due to it's occult logo, but still...
They just don’t want blacks shopping there and that’s ok….. we blacks need to shop other places I’ve been saying that for years …. Why do black Americans feel the need to beg suppliers or companies to take their money??
not just blacks,
@@ladiday8479Many hispanics have shopped there for decades as well.
Power in numbers. Big retailer like WallyWorld must not know what boycotts can do to them.
Welcome to project2025
What stage of grief are you in? Is this the project 2025 stage?
playing GTA V online right now
Walmart largely contributed to the Trump campaign. I’ll find another place to shop no problem.
I won't be shopping at Walmart
Nobody cares 😂
I won’s be spending my hard earned money at Walmart or others stores on the list.
At the corporate level White women were the greatest benefactors of DEI efforts. It's unfortunate that this fact is often omitted in the conversation and minorities are made the face of DEI.
DEI = Didn't earn it.
Facts
THEY DO NOT HAVE WALMARTS IN AFRICA. MOVE THERE IF YOU HATE IT HERE.
@@Dearthvader2 Tell Elon to go back there
@@oldnoob1917Exactly 😂
They won’t get another dime from me. I’ll drive that extra mile to Target.
This is just the beginning. It’s happening rapidly in workplaces, universities finding reasons to deny acceptance or prevent students from completing their degrees (this happened to me personally). Meanwhile, some businesses are quietly choosing who they want as customers. Stay tuned.
@tr2404 So true, this was already occurring well over a year ago. It was "popular" for major corporations to adopt the "DEI" culture years ago when you had all the police shootings and BLM movement. Fake! Companies running ads saying "we're all in this together", putting black people on their company page. I've worked in corporate for decades and the people at the very top are not black! This was nothing more than a facade and now that it's faded out they don't have to hire minorities at all.
NOT SHOPPING AT LOWES EITHER
What did Lowe's do?!
This is discrimination
For some it’s not so easy to boycott because they are in rural areas and only have a Walmart, but here are some ways that you can still hurt their bottom line:
When you shop there only buy your basics, don’t buy clothing, Home Goods, or electronics that they make larger profits on. Also don’t buy the Walmart brands such as great value, equate, mainstays, Sam’s choice, better homes & gardens and others. These are lower price brands, but since they are actually made by Walmart they make more money on them. All of us can contribute and vote with our dollars in some way.
Also, they should try to shop at Aldis if they have one in the rural areas. I'm in a small rural town in SC where they only have Walmart and Aldis as affordable places for groceries. Now switching to Aldi, and when we move to Texas next year and wherever I go in the future I'll never shop at Walmart ever again.
Good point. Thank you
I am not shopping for any store who does this!
😂 Well then be ready to shop nowhere then
@@cc8751 Wrong, she can order online if he wants and there are other stores that has DEI policies. She just have to look.
Forget Walmart
We as black people must put money into our own businesses.
I feel like I’m going to spend my money elsewhere!!! Thank you!!!
Sure 😂
We can save and start opening up our own stores. Let’s stick together.
I know where not to shop…
Right
Okay so if Walmart will no longer support LGBTQ then I will happily shop elsewhere.
Publix, Chick Fil A, and Best Buy also need to be divested as they are also anti LGBTQ
@@allenmondesir We don't have Publix in my state so not an issue.. Chick-fil-A is a known NO for years, just like Hobby Lobby.
Its just sad that to see companies immediately siding with hate.
@@Mimikoothank you for mentioning hobby lobby. I will avoid that place too!
The ruling class will always see equity as their oppression.
It’s time for the Montgomery Bus Boycott all over again for EVERY company listed. There are cell phones, social media and apps now. This can be done! Plus a GRAND opportunity for businesses to be CREATED by these minority groups.
yes, time to rebuild the community unless they make you count jellybeans to get a loan. pool some resources and start your own thing. get creative with financing to rebuild locally,
Another reason to never shop at Walmart.
This isn’t hard my fellow countrymen and women. The one thing that has the biggest voice in this country is the money in your bank account. If you appreciate what Wal-Mart & other companies are doing regarding DEI, do shop there. If the companies that partner w/ Wal-Mart that don’t appreciate what they are doing should pull their product and exclusively partner w/ their direct competitors. LET YOUR WALLET DO THE TALKING!
I worked at the corporate level and saw this DEI refusal real time. There was a McKinsey & Company study shown to us that showed how much work was needed by Walmart to get AA employees from the field level into the corporate level. Then came the BLM movement, and like other corporations it was embraced, but most of us knew it was just a facade and a matter of time before they reneged on the DEI cause.
Walmarts is a monopoly that needs disolved.
AGREED
That’s really the bottom line. So they’re a monopoly that are using their power to squash any chance of inclusion for minorities. It’s over.
I haven't shopped at Walmart for years because i hate their business practices. They keep most of their employees part-time, uninsured or under-insured and dependent on social services. Their CEO's decision have just reinforced my feelings. I know Trump being elected has everything to do with his decision.
I had been a supporter of Lowe's and avoided Home Depot because of their huge Republican donations but now Lowe's is off my list. I will shop at my local independent hardware store, exclusively.
These companies were never really vested.
nail on head.! they never wanted it they felt forced and that was why is so easy to walk away from it. its easy to walk away if you are not committed and that goes for anything in life.
Boycott them. Support others. Leave walmart alone
Timing is everything and the timing on this says alot! I have only seen minority workers in my local Walmart and surprisingly the minority is not black. Hopefully this is seen as not just a black issue but an overall diversity issue.
This is ridiculous. Money talks and I'm done shopping at Walmart.
I do most of my shopping online at other stores. Walmart is used for last-minute items that I dont have at home. Now, HEB or the Dollar Store are my go-to stores.
Nobody cares where you shop.
@cc8751 Then why are you replying and reading my comment?
Guess I won't be shopping at Walmart lol Walmart folded like a cheap suit
If they're not for everybody then everybody should be against them. Shop elsewhere.
This middle aged white lady is done with Walmart and Sams! They are going to lose tens of thousands of dollars from us.
I just deleted my app. Bye
And we will scale back as consumers!
You want all people to feel welcome, but you are not considering giving contract suppliers to minority entrepreneurs!
Boycott
I am shopping elsewhere. I am not a fan of Wal-Mart!
The ceo just contradicted himself
leadership competency seemed grossly insufficient
but yet there he is.
I just hope people who understand the real reason behind this stop shopping there
Not shopping their either. They tripping. Bye Walmart. Bye Lowe's. Taking my thousands with me.
Walmart has been terrible. Definitely won’t go there now.
This is why I always shop at Target.
As a black American veteran that's all i been hearing from my family is they're are no longer interested in shopping at Walmart period
This was great information. Thank you. Love the comments posted.
Walmart already has higher prices in urban areas because it assumes this is a high risk area. This means if you live in an urban area Walmart has predetermined you to be a shoplifter. I used to do product promotions and noticed prices were higher in some area stores than others.
Don’t worry about speaking to them, let them keep right on with there removal of services that benefits majority of their customers and employees and they’ll have less of both.
Please drop the list. Won’t be shopping at Walmart, Lowe’s Amazon and who ever is on that list. Take my money where I’m welcome and appreciated.
I think people get DEI mixed up with Equal Employment. Does anyone remember the commercials women and minorites encouraged to apply? They need to stop asking race, sex, and gender questions on spplications. That is different than DEI.
right - another system to keep track of who's winning. stop doing the census too if none this matters. just give the same money to everyone and call it a day oh but that would be fair right?
Walmart has been grimy for a long time. It’s time to let them know what we’ve all known for a long time. Let them feel it financially.
This is Trump and MAGA at the forefront!
And my money doesn't belong at Wally-World (Walmart).
I shop at Meijer. They have better quality of fresh meats and produce. The employees are treated very well and the is not a high turnover of staff. They even offer a continuing education program. Everyone is kind and friendly. AND there’s usually at least 6 cashiers. It is more expensive,however, it is worth the price.
yes, quality over quantity and even walmart quantity has taken a big hit. self checkout with people standing there watching you like a hawk, lord if it wasn't so sad i would be laughing.
Making it easier not to shop there.
Belong? I know just where the Walton family belongs.
theyre gonna get sued into oblivion thats whats gonna happen
Walmart will get sued for discrimination against anyone, which is why DEI must go. DEI encourages discrimination.
@@bcoxal and as it should be sued for not hiring those that are qualified over those that are not. it is sad that we ever needed it in the first place. it's a damn shame that we as a country ever let it come to this in the first place. learning to respect everyone based on humanity not color or gender would have saved us the trouble. but nooooo, that's way too easy. we love conflict!
As a woman I have decided to take my $10000 I spend a year to my local grocery stores
Walmart is low class anyway…
Thank you!!!! VERY Low class and they have always been that's why I have NEVER VIBED with them! I was raised definitely to not support anything "low class" meaning I only shop for my groceries at MEIJERS in Michigan and have always shopped at Meijers because there food is soooo much fresher and the workers are so professional...
Oh hey, Walmart, Ford, Harley Davidson , Home Depot, et al.
Sha-na-na-na. Hey hey hey. Goodbye.
