- Castigating what he called an attempt to "make America prejudiced again" and defending DEI as both policies and a philosophy amidst a campaign against DEI by the Trump administration and retreat from such policies by businesses, academic institutions and the government, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church Pastor Dr. Jamal Bryant on Sunday called for a 40-day boycott of Target.
Pastor Dr. Bryant's call coincides with other civil rights activists who have initiated plans for a Target boycott in recent days.

I love going to Target.
I love Black People MORE.
DEI IS DEAD !
Black people are still working there, and Black Products are still on the shelves, fasting hurts the Black Business!
Oh well to each his or her own!
What about Walmart?
The preacher compared boycotting Target to the Montgomery bus boycott. The Montgomery bus boycott is the only time a boycott actually worked. What does he think Target is going to do after a 40 day boycott? Nothing. And then what. They're going to pull the black products off of their shelves that's what is going to happen.
@@ladyt3182 listen to his entire message!
I don't shop Target, BUT, I do shop AMAZON. Perhaps, I'll "fast" AMAZON!! 76yrs old Black woman, LndSu
I'm letting them go too. My convictions are firmer than my need for convenience.
Iam not a member of this church but i will boycott
same here
Me too
We blacks have billions of dollars of buying power❤
Nobody is scared
@@Michael-b4o Us Hispanics too, i plan to boycott all of these stores as well
Please take it to Africa because all white business owners are willing do not have your money in exchange for you going home.
So you like being judged and hired because you’re black? Not because you have the skills or qualifications
So you want the handouts? That’s weird .. isn’t that you just keeping yourself reliant on “the evil white boogie man”?
Walmart, Target, Ford, Lowes and McDonald's and Amazon all need to be on this same list. This information is found online.
Costco is holding strong, shop at Costco
Yes! Im fasting er’body!😂
Ok
I believe we're systematically choosing one business at a time, so the effects will be profound. Possibly other companies will see the fallout and choose to reverse their decision.
I will not renew my Sam's card. Joining Costco.
Also, Tractor Supply for our rural peeps!
The time is now!!!! We must do it!
I'm not part of this church but I need this list!!! I love it!!! ❤❤❤❤
I already started the boycott. No target!
Why not the same energy for Walmart and Sam’s?
Boycotting
They are probably next. You have to be strategic with things like this.
When you take down one other's will fall
And what exactly was accomplished with Wal-Mart?
Exactly 💯!!
We need to do more stores and Chinese/Asian stores.
You are strait up RACIST
Exactly! 💯
@@shayc.2562 I hope that you both repent of your sins of RACISM AND HATE before anything happens, HELL is taking more fake Christians every day.
Open your own stores please because we're absolutely sick of seeing you in our restaurants.
@@HangingTree-s9v Huh?
Conscientious Muslim right here with you!
Will be fasting, prayer, and target fasting as well!
Ramadan will be a time of fast during the same time so this is in perfect alignment! ❤️🖤💚
We need to boycott all of them ❤
Then, what do we need to do to church that are an abomination and don’t come close to aligning with God’s word ?
Join Costco, they support DEI
Yes they do! LOVE Costco
@SDR-z7x buycott Target for supporting merit over diversity points insanity and insanity.
Yeah they support it for white women. I’ll bet their executive team is all white.
Thank you pastor for speaking out
Assignment understood and UNDERWAY 💯💯💯
I’m with you Pastor Bryant 🙏🏾✊🏾
I am not a member of this church, but Im boycotting Target and other stores for not bringing DEI.
What a disgrace 😢 This is what the bible mean, they who is first will be last ... This guy is definitely NOT from GoD.
Our money is attached to our nationality. If they don't like us then don't let them enjoy our money
I started a week ago Pastor Jamal
I don't shop at target but I will boycott Walmart
I truly don’t understand how true Christians are still following this man 🤷🏾♂️ this man is leading so many people astray 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 praying for him and the people following him 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
True, but it's a good idea.
Yes, we as a people have to stand up to these companies. We conduct business with you and you don't have to like us, but you will RESPECT us!
And you think Target it not?
💯
@KrystalDavis-i6f this is not God led.
Jeremiah 14:14
King James Version
14 Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
Amen
Amen. Thank you. God bless you. Keep speaking the truth.
Spot on analysis 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 this man is definitely a false prophet 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Amen!
Did he say it was a prophecy just asking because I didn't hear that.
Can you really break down how black people are being hurt with Target doing away with DEI?
He can’t 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ because it’s a lie from the pit of hell 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@praisehim3288I agree
Fr let’s start voting with our dollars!
He is one of the only Mega Preachers that is speaking out against this regime
You don’t mix politics & religion, & that’s what it is. Never should a preacher or pastor get involved with politics.
@@PamelaMorris-fy5mbEspecially about DEI. Lord help these people to do their own research, and use their brain, instead of following behind someone who is leading them astray in so many ways. Where’s pastor Jennings? He’ll get him straight.
@@PamelaMorris-fy5mbWant hurt target one bit but may aide in making this guy richer through increased donations brought on by higher visibility.
Wasn't MLK JR a pastor who fought against social injustice! We are so religious that commonsense is a blur! If he don't stand up against this injustice we'll be right back to picking cotton! Wake Up!
Politics impacts every aspect of life.
Yes!! YES!!🎉🎉this pastor and his heart for the people. ❤ Marched in Rev Dr Martin Luther King 's 1963 I Have a Dream March. Still in the fight!!
Boycott Target for what. Have anybody ever thought about the stores that have done away with DEI and we still stop there. Target will not go out of business because black people stop going. Stop it. Why not take this energy and go in places where black young men need help. We still boycotting. Still doing the same thing we did when Martin Luther King was alive. We got to do better as a people. I don't see nobody boycotting those hair stores and nail salons why because that is where we spend the majority of our money. No blacks in working in those business. We can't get ahead because we keep doing the same thing.
I feel the same way about the nail salons and beauty supplies.
@@happyandfree11 Lashes, brows, nails, hair, everything . . .
@@greendesertgoddess All of those items can be purchase from Sally's'
@@happyandfree11 They treat you like sh-- in them stores. Watch you like a hawk, you can't look around, and they are always rushing you to buy something or get out the store (this is the Chinese owners) ... They should have security, but they are too cheap to place a security guard in their stores.
That's because when you look at the news you always see blacks breaking in and stealing the products or the run out of the store in the middle of the day with hands full of hair pieces. That's why they watch blacks who come in and they usually don't have insurance.
Amen. This is how you do it.
All Target will do is pull the black products off of the shelves.
It will hurt the black business owners in Target. Please pray for them.
God will provide
Target just announced that by the end of 2025 they will completely end their DEI program/policies!!!
It is being reported on multiple streams that DEI mostly helps white women by a huge margin. Blacks only 4%.
@@barbarajohnson95Stop it
@sherrycanada892 what's that
Be careful of those who protest too much.
Boycott the supper bowl 😮
Oh no responses. That is not going to happen.
But I agree!!!!
Withdraw from all unnecessary spending. Try not to make any large purchases for 4 years, that includes cellphones. Be intentional with where you spend your money by supporting your own community. Don’t buy Tesla products.🙏🏽
Now this is the best statement yet!!!! Thank you
I love that way you think my sister bless u🔥💯🫡
Be not untangled with the cares of this world! How about the Kingdom of God!
Why not boycott Walmart, Amazon and Facebook
We are boycotting them too! Target is just being called out first! EVERYBODY IS GOING DOWN THO!
Just came from Target today.
Target
Walmart
Lowe’s
Sam’s
McDonald’s
And others
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂y'all are a joke no one takes y'all seriously zero respect for yall😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Target gonna feel this one🎯
Doubt it!
Exactly!!! 💯
This how they got things done during the Civil Rights movement!
There is power in unity!
Doubt it! The opposite is going to happen just like with Chick fil A . Mark my words
The Montgomery bus boycott is the only boycott that has ever worked and it lasted over a year.
@@Arleen_Bnah sayer!
Ready Pastor Yes Lord...
Lets do this!
I'll never care what New Birth Church says.
Thank you
This guy said nothing about target when they had the pride display going. But now he wants to boycott target. He needs to stop.
Exactly! Pride and letting men go into girls restrooms. Also, notice they sell Christmas items but don't refer to it as Christmas... they also help fund planned parenthood... these are things that should really upset the church.
💯
PREACH!!!!
Exactly. This preacher wants evil. All these preachers will celebrated pride with these stores. Silly. Good is evil now while evil is good. He is leading the falling away. Go away.
Look at the places these stores are in.
When they pack up and move to other white or affluent areas, this same preacher will then call them racist. Stop it.
he really just sound fed up and he been around the block has marched with Dr King he on 🔥
Shop at Costco. They are holding fast to their beliefs.
Equity goes against MLK's Dream. Equality is something completely different, and this guy doesn't get it.
It went right over his head. All people need to do is do their own research about who gets the most benefit of DEI. But they’d rather keep being followers. ✌🏽
Exactly! He's misguiding his own people and their following this dummy.
Leading them right into a ditch... So sad! The church is a house of Prayer... This is NOT church and his plan will fail... but HIS (Jesus Christ) plan will end in Victory. @1marlojenkins125
Exactly. He is Building his own platform.
Does anyone realize how many black own products Target carry? You will simply break the blacks who have products sold there. Sell the stocks? How silly. So when the stock goes double, then what? Where would you like us to invest?
@1marlojenkins125 he makes sense. Black people need to buy from Black people.
We need to get rid of those Elon Musk cars too! I never liked Target anyway.
It's about Time ❤
What about Nissan, Toyota, Ford, Facebook, Instagram, Boeing planes🤔
Isn't this politics?
Churches have always been political. Take Revend Dr. Martin Luther King for example 😂
Actually it's just what the Reverend said it was...
Righteous Indignation...
Long time overdue...
Yes. Church people are citizens too. Most of the civil rights marches started from the church?
I’m still shopping at Target. He’s crazy.
You could have kept that. Like they say black won’t stick together
Shows how lost some folk are. This is the dumbest thing ever. People will stil shop there. This guy is a clown.
Don’t fast then.This is not for you.
You’re a clown you just don’t agree!!!
As the information come out I have stopped shopping at Walmart, I would spend a nice amount almost weekly, no Target, McDonals is done I used up those points right before the announcement, will miss that coffee. I am with you all. Seeking black owned products, produce etc.
I am here for it!!! Walmart too for they are far worst in ethics. I've havent shopped there in over 6 years!
Overlooking the fact Target was selling devil shirts, and clothes at one point
Walmart, Lowe's and McDonald's too..all of them said they would drawback on DEI
I've been stopped McPoison and Walmart
Well if ur gonna boycott Target, you may as well boycott every store in the US!?
Assignment understood!!!!!
Make sure you pray for yourselves for defending DEI
We’ll be praying for you fascist emoral MAGA pucks.
Stopped years ago. One day I was shopping at Target and I felt something come over me that didn't feel right about the store. I left out and having been in a Target since. Like Maya Angelou said when someone shows you who they are the first time believe it. God brings everything to light Darkness will never overpower the light.
Boycott the Chinese Nail Salon and Hair Stores who be talking about y’all right in ya face but I bet you that won’t happens
Okay I am searching for nail techs in the Bay Area they don’t want your business and they don’t need it many people would have no colored signs up if they could ppl have to wake up
I'm going to the online Target site and do some shopping, DEI - did not earn it !!!
I am not Christian or religious, but this is important and has nothing to do with religion ultimately.
I’m not religious but I’m with you
Neither is he……
@@stephenSO11exactly!
Don’t fall for it!
Neither is he! 🐺
Don't stop with just Target please. Good message. It's old, but obviously still needed.
Target Fast????? You got to be kidding me!!
I just started back shopping at Target, I’m happy they got rid of the lqbqt section of the store in my city!
What do you suggest beloved?
I stopped listening to this man years ago, all he has is charisma
What GOD is this man praying to? hatred, division does not come from the true GOD.He needs to repent
Did Dr. King need to repent for not wanting to see his people “othered” and treated less than human?
Target needs to repent!
Do Not waste your breath... Darkness hates the Light. He is leading his flock into a ditch and they are following him is gladness. Aint nothing word he just spoke ALL world...
He definitely needs to repent 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 praying for him and his followers to open up their eyes and their hearts in Jesus Name 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Why just Target...where is Walmart and other stores that cut DEI
I can definitely fast from one of my favorite stores to support my people. They have no respect for us.
And the people who have successful careers in management with Target? When people start losing jobs that will be a whole other issue
Got you Pastor,Thank you for your Awesome Leadership.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
I’m on my way to target now to shop! DEI never benefited me or anyone who looks like me! Facts are facts folks.🤷🏾♂️
💯
Thank you it never every benefited me either or black people or people of color.
@@tonyblaze2897 say it louder!
What do you look like?
Exactly
What about the other stores?? Y'all remember it's not only Target
Sheer ignorance and not the gospel of Jesus Christ at all. Lord help Your people.
I wish he remove the title pastor and church and just be a world person.. he is misleading so many.. May he repent
AMEN!🙏🏼 In decency and in order. 🙌🏼
I'm getting ready to head to Target now. STHU!! This guy is ridiculous. Ask him how much Kamala gave him last year
It does matter where I spend my dollars. #standingonprinciples
Someone let this man know we already started boycotting!
And what is supposed to happen after the 40 day fast? Spritual growth?????
Preach Pastor 🙏🏽! I'm starting to block them now. 💪🏽💕🙌🏽
I don't listen to him. Please
Good idea. I hope it works.
Remember there used to be a black wall street ❤
A mile away from this church was a big Target that was closed a few years ago and is now a shopping center called Black Wall Street.
Amen. Yes we need to do this.
Walmart too!
❤❤❤
This dei bullshit makes me want to go to target more to support Target all the way.
Target fast 40 days
Im not boycotting Target they still have black products and black associates including my daughter working there. Boycott the stores that don't do anything for us like some of
these luxury stores who treat you like crap...
This is SO sad. DEI policy is prejudice - clear and simple. Merit brings out the best of ALL people. MERIT is color blind. MERIT allows a person's very best to show through - character, intelligence, abilities.
You do not understand what is and is not prejudice. I suggest reading up on it before making statements like this.... or voting...
@@OnUs-x9d when it comes to DEI, a gay white woman will get a job before a straight black man.
Yes Susan in a perfect world that is true but unfortunately we live in the real world where people are socially stratified based on the color of their skin which is complete b*******
What is sad is the ignorance of our countrymen to side with people that are against their interests
Then why didn't black folk have equality in slavery
Walmart, Sam's, Target, Amazon, Lowes, McDonald's
This assignment is so EASY!!! 🎯 I’m not addicted 😏
Well.....NO....only buy TabBrown. Go in there and buy Tab only please. Because our Ancestors weren't able to walk in stores like this!!
We have to do this! No more Sanpellegrino drinks for me!
Im just not only boycotting TARGET, i am also boycotting WAL MAT, SAM'S and all others that is and has anything to do with PROJECT 2025 and DEI. I WILL NEVER SHOP WITH THESE BUSINESSES EVER AGAIN. Support our own
This guy never ran a business. Contracts can last years....
The black products will be the first ones pulled off of the shelves. That's who will be hurt by this boycott. Not Target.
We need alignment! The boycott has already started!!!
Now that’s the spirit of the Lord, because I am already fascinated for 40 days
Lol😂😂😂😂
That’s a false spirit, just like this Pastor!!
Why is Target the Target? There are so many other companies did the same, why is their an omission of the other companies? . As for the Montgomery Boycott they were white racist owned and operated bus company. Target hires blacks, black products on their shelves. That's great you're offering the black businesses to shift but many of them are under contracts. Target has not completely pulled out of their commitment they have shifted. I choose to not purchase anything out of Target that are not black owned so they still feel impact and see the black dollar only supporting the black owned products. I do agree we need to support black owned businesses more collectively so the directory is great!
Look at all these fools on here saying they are going to boycott. So much priorities we would be concerned about and yall worried about target.
Not 40 days but forever until they repent.
Yes thank you god , ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
