When you said “these companies could have quietly done away with their DEI initiative the announcement was the point” it made me think of a quote from Dr. koritah Mitchell. “What we are seeing is pushback of more and more people recognizing the humanity of other people.” That’s why they did The reversal of affirmative action in Ivy League schools. Not because those slots were being occupied, but because their children were recognizing the humanity of people that did not look like them. They’re trying to teach their kids. Hey remember not these people.
Wait im about to cry
Isolation and getting us back into servitude is one of the huge ways that they don’t tap into their empathy. There are still conservatives who make it a point to never interact with a blk person unless they’re serving them. It’s psychotic.
They are psychopaths.
Facts. Also why they don't want B. Hstry' taught
Wow...that is something to think about for sure.
The obsession from these groups to make sure we, in particular, don’t get ahead, feel welcome, or even feel hopeful is a level of cruelty I’ll never understand. Even if we were shipped off somewhere back to Africa, these yts will continue to obsess over us. They will NEVER leave us, in particular, alone. They’re so empty.
I'm convinced they have a subconscious fear that if we were to be just as or more successful as a collective people, we would impose the same cruelty they showed us for centuries, back onto them. Which makes sense because throughout history, they've projected their insecurity as a group onto other races of people. So it only makes sense they continue to project their abject capacity for cruelty onto ⚫️ people in order to rationalize how they treat us.
I really appreciate your take on this. As someone who has boycotted Walmart and Amazon for years, Target has been my primary “big-box” store. While a complete boycott of Target would be extremely challenging, I’ll do my best to cut back, especially on non-essentials.
True. Yet, its time we stop begging to get our black products into Whiteys stores. Tabitha should have her own STORE.
Yeah, I was willing to pay more at Target to stay out of Walmart, and now this 💩. Definitely giving each purchase anywhere these days a lot of forethought.
Costco and trader joes
@@savvyroca it's nice that, while other companies are doubling down and being as loud as they can about ending DEI, Costco is being just as loud in the other direction. Sure, it's to fill the possible void in the market from those companies, but it's nice to know.
I love Trader Joes. I may resume my Costco membership. What did you do in lieu of Amazon. I need to learn how to sacrifice convenience.
Bumping for the algorithm.
Commenting here for it too ❤
Bumping it here too! ✨
Same. Subscribed 1st video.
Missed you!!

Happy Lunar New Year 🎊🧧🐍
“flick of the crayon” IS SENDING ME
I always appreciate your thoughts on issues. You made many good points ❤
I've been saying for years that those people want the Native Americans' country back. I just honestly thought Americans would be ready to resist, then the 2020 election happened and I knew the rest of us were gonna catch pneumonia coz America was about to catch a flu coz people were not ready to organise between elections. Siiiigh
Stay safe, my people. Remember that no matter what, we have always survived because we fostered community.
Exactly this. We are going to face a lot of challenges bigger than what my generation and younger are prepared for. The only way through is together.
I just got hired for a job and out of fear I’m going to take it before I don’t get hired someplace at all 🤷♀️😞
Just did the same 2 weeks ago. Best wishes!
😞 I understand your fear.
@@nappyheadedjojobafoolish. Stop fear mongering
I'd be looking for another company
@Skyfoxx23 Good luck and blessings to you.💗 (This is sad but I don’t put my profile pic up on my company’s MS Teams or anywhere else. They were trying to make it mandatory, but my boss ‘went to bat’ for me so I didn’t have to do it. The same with conference calls: No cameras. 🙋🏾♀️ It’s pathetic that we have to do this stuff to protect ourselves from bias. I hate working from home, but not being in the office gives me some protection from that BS.)
So glad you spoke on this ❤
Off topic but the green youre wearing, your hair, the jewerly, and the makeup, you are so pretty
I agree, loving the vibe being served!
@missmia196 right! Look gorgeous while serving facts
Its not change if its not uncomfortable
Truth.
Praying for us ALL!
So true about the announcements; they're doing them like it's something to be proud of. As always, great to see you!
I love hearing you speak on these types of subjects. Please do more of these!🙌🏾
I saw this on my feed -- I'm short on time, but I feel like I have to watch it immediately because I swear your videos end up getting spirited away sometimes. I wish I'd made a drink. 😆
Dammn, girl. When you bring it, you bring the thunder! I'm here for it, 100%.
I feel like this what Candice Owens thinks she sounds like! Girl you need your own podcast
@leoskiss3390 great observation!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 You're back 🎉 Always appreciate your much-needed commentary on the ever-evolving bs. ❤
I already told myself this year I was only buying from small businesses and indie brands this year so I’m not even mad just disappointed but also not shocked they showed themeselves.
"I want GOD to give me the right words"
Tabatha Brown is a career actress. She performs this sanctified, auntie character so well that ppl are convinced she is genuinely anointed.
It’s a few of us out here who can see through it, but know what happens when you call it out.
Thank you for posting and keeping your word salad side bit. Shoestrings keep me from following you other places. But I'm always enriched and encouraged by your insights and perspectives. The more voices I can listen to and share expands my understanding and empathy for those who are experiencing the world different than me. My heart aches and my rage seethes. Sending wishes of peace of mind to all, since that is the place where any of us have control, for now.
Yessss at the Civil Rights break down...hell the ENTIRE video! One friend in O&G called me not even 2 weeks into 2025. They had meeting w/ undertone celebration of goodbye DEI. And just as you described the WW were going hard not realizing they're on the same sinking ship.
White women will be fine. They'll just be replaced with MAGA white women.
Appreciate your thoughs, always! 🖤
Dead at when you said Trump and his crayon 🤣🤣💀💀
Talk about deja vu! I used to watched you back in the day when I wanted to grow my hair! Now I'm bald and you're back! Fucking love it!
Always appreciate hearing your thoughts, sis. Thank you 💛
So ready for this! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Why can't we go directly to your website and buy your product vs going to the big box store?
Because not enough people are doing that. People want their stuff when they want it, so they aren't willing to wait. Some are scared to buy online for fear that their information will be stolen, and some want the buzz they get by shopping in a dedicated store.
What's weird is how black ppl are taking this personal as if DEI is "ours". Do yall not realize that DEI included everyone but white men??? DEI didn't serve us as people very much. The folks least served by DEI are making the most noise. Very bizarre.
I think it's about the unfairness. Everyone is so busy thinking they're not affected while BP, like always, don't want *anyone* to be affected. Atp I say let it go. Who cares. They need to learn who they are and where they place on the totem pole, collectively.
At some point racist started using DEI as a codeword more like slur for black people predominantly. I've noticed that shift in gaming community 🤷🏽♀️. It was used at as a slur for all non white men but over time began to specifically target black people.
I don’t know if you’re still in LA Ti, but I hope you were safe during the fires! 🙏🏿❤
It’s always good to see you ❤️❤️
Haven't seen you in a month of Sundays 😅❤❤ missed u
I always felt auntie tab was the person who would cross the picket line and attribute it to god.
She just need a website and a warehouse.
If it was that easy, everyone would sell things that way.
@mactrek2 she already said she wouldn't because she didn't want to put that much investment into her own products.
@@mactrek2it's not that easy for everyone but it's definitely a little more feasible for a multimillionaire than it is for any one trying to start a business.
Queen! Glad you posted sis😊
STOP being a consumer of these RUclipsrs that are selling you things that YOU DO NOT NEED!
The beef with Denmark is actually insane lmao
Maybe this might be the push needed for other countries to "bring Democracy" to the US... just saying
And with Canada FFS
People with disabilities are in a bind with regards to social media. It has become a primary avenue for community building and social connection for those of us who can’t interact in traditional ways. What if amazon is the only way a person can shop? It sux.
If America was a meritocracy we wouldn't as a people know the truth that we have to be twice as good to get half as far.
This is off topic, but I was reminded of it with "food sovereignty":
I wonder why there are so many food deserts and why it is so hard to get food to towns/communities.
But slightly more concerning is that I learned small farmers have to buy seeds from corporations which basically own the genetic code to the crop. A farmer can get charged if, say a corn crop, gives rise to a new plant without the seed being repurchased (or something like that). I wish I had the reference video/creator's name, and I've been meaning to look into it more, but the implications are wild. These corporations have their grimy little fingers sticking way down into every section of industries in which they certainly don't belong.
We can't afford to feed ourselves, we don't have access to fresh, healthy food, and even if we did, it's completely being controlled by privatized corporations.
Missed you! 💕 happy new year
Same to you 🖤
Boycotts do work, look at BDS with companies like Starbucks, McDonalds and those brands have lost billions
You're stunning 🥰 I always learn so much from you. Blessings.
Your perspective is always appreciated. You also look very beautiful ♡
Ooooh! I've been waiting for this!!!
Everyone will have repercussions, it is baffling to see people cheering for these egregious changes. We should want equity and inclusion. Now blatant discrimination will be more likely…… it’s disgusting.
Costco still has their DEI initiative.
That's the very reason i plan to go to Costco.
It's cool and all but if they decide not to then what? We need to think bigger
The 92% knew what it is before sh* hit the fan. I like to believe that we've been, subconsciously, mentally preparing for chaos? I know we'll be okay in the end. Hang tight y'all, it's gonna be a rough ride in this vehicle we didn't ask to be on 😩
Thanks so much for the video ❤
Welcome back!!!!!!
Costco is keeping DEI.
Heard of you from FD. Great overview! Def had to subscribe :)
4% Black women and .5% black men benefitted so.....🤷🏿♂️que sera sera
Tabitha blew me when she tried to bring the lord into asking people not stop buying her products because of the stores they’re in. People act like contracts don’t expire. Regardless of a boycott if a store doesn’t want your products they won’t carry them. People like Tabitha and the other lady should just stay quiet, and find another store who will support them and their visions moving forward. Easier said than done I’m sure, but how can you honestly feel any ways good about a company telling you and your people “we don’t support y’all”? The next black hopeful might not get through the door after all of these companies have made a decision like that one.
Well, she did, in fact, state that her contract has a year to go, but I guess in the rush to judgment, people somehow missed that part of what she said. Since I don't live in America, none of this has an impact on me, but I hate when people in general and Black people in particular go into a feeding frenzy of condemnation. If you want to boycott, just do it and leave people alone who don't want to.
@@mactrek2 Never condemn her and I assumed she was under contract which is why I said something about them expiring.. However, in my comment I never said nor suggested to boycott or not to. That’s a personal choice, but I feel that Tabitha should look for other plans after her contract expires - only if she feels that’s the best thing for her and her business.. When you stand with your people they’ll stand with you, that’s my feeling on the matter.
So happy to hear your view on this. It truly is a lose lose, as things often are no matter where or what black owned businesses do. Appreciated your nuanced take. ❤
DEI didn't benefit blk ppl solely stop with the over dramatic BS ..😤
My brother once advised me to work in tech because they lower their standards for women and "it will be so much easier for you." He said, "we can always tell when a DEI hire walks in." I couldn't bring myself to be that person. How humiliating. Call me crazy, but i want to be hired on merit, not because I have a vagina or dark skin.
Good to have you back, especially with this. That said, I think you credit these companies and CEOs with far too much "self" than they actually have. Public corporations neither know nor care about black people or DEI or whatever; they are mindless organisms in pursuit of money, the way plants grow along a nutrient gradient. People like Muskrat may individually be bigots but their personal preferences are largely irrelevant; capital has only one demand.
In the slow motion collapse of capitalism, these fortunes and stock growth are ever more dependent on federal contracts and government favors - most of amazon's business is data management for various US agencies. If Kamala had won they'd all be advertising their sustainability and DEI programs; with Drumpf they are advertising their demise. In either case, it's for the same reason: currying favor with their biggest customer.
Atleast the white ai techbros are getting shafted by deepseek 🇨🇳
That actually amused me when I heard that news
I know everyone is praising Costco for doubling down on keeping their DEI initiatives, but I can't help but think that it's only a matter of time before they fold, too.
They cashing in on the opportunity. They know their competitors may see a loss in sales that they can pick up. Smart but they don't care about us either
I think it's wild that they say that DEI is ruining everything when it doesn't do sht for anyone in the first place. I've always had a massively difficult time job hunting, I can only assume because of my super "ethnic" name. We're living in a time where any measure of good will is twisted by these millionaire fks to keep us fighting each other. I don't know the answer, but I hear you and will always speak up against the BS when I see it. Solidarity 🙌🏾
Your hair looks beautiful! 😊 I haven't seen your videos in awhile, and perhaps you've already addressed this: what happened to your EXODUS plans? 🤔
But for real, there's a big old Starbucks where the Sainsbury's restaurant used to be and that's after Sainsbury's ate Argos (They're slowing closing the stand alone Argos branches and you'll only be able to find them inside a Sainsbury's). The same thing happened to ASDA, they have a McDonald's where their restaurant should be. Tesco Brent Cross has a Costa. It's a shame, the old white and black aunties used to gwan bad in them supermarket kitchens. Yum😚👌🏾
Spot on as always
Why was a waiting for this video because of all the craziness.
Great rant of the state of things. Thanks for shouting out Eunique's tweet about people saying they'll buy directly from Black business but will be the same ones to get mad that your aren't in retail stores. You can't win.
Why can’t Tabitha and all the other black creators buy some property and open their own store like Target? Most of the black products aren’t selling that much anyways & they DO put all the black products in one area in those stores which is racist anyways!🙄🤬 they can also have products for white ppl in their stores.
I was born in 1969...so yeah, I often go back in my mind...not much has changed😢
Yesss EXACTLY just what I was thinking Boycotting is really not going 2 hurt them, but it will hurt the black 🖤 owners Companies that have PRODUCTS IN THEIR BUSINESS
THANKS 4SHARING ❤😊
DEI is performative for a trend of the times to remain relevant. Unfortunately, there are black people who are not caring the hard history of white Americans who deined black Americans a seat at economic development for black people financial stability.
So many things revealed in this video. Thank you.
Tabitha can also ask Costco to put her brand in their stores!
She's STILL under contract with Target, and that would be a breach of said contract. No other company will open themselves up to a lawsuit over this.
She should had not really relied on Big Box stores to begin with. I truly feel that with her fan base she could have been the sole provider of her products via her website. I've seen many black TikTokers do it with only a quarter of her fanbase and they are pretty successful. This is not to bash her, but I do think this will be a learning lesson.
The enemy has captured the food. I repeat: “THE ENEMEY HAS CAPTURED THE FOOD!”
I always 3njoy your content❤ SEE you next time😊
This smells like a business opportunity.
Truly disappointed (but not surprised) in the black bourgeoisie showing their ass in record time. January ain’t even over. Make sure yall get rest. It’s going to be a long four years
Missed you!❤❤
I don't get why black Americans don't just organize together and support local stores owned by black people selling black owned products...but ok
Convenience and price. Big box stores are less expensive and all around us.
@@Ryan-yw8iz true but you have to start somewhere. It was done before integration it can be done again if people actually cared enough. I'm just tired of hearing about complaining American white corporations not accepting black people (which has been going on for CENTURIES) when back people could do business with each other. smh
Republicans attacked DEI while democrats watched on the sideline....
Will everybody said they were sick of the Democrats so? What y’all want them to do?
3:18 I remember I was 13 when they legalized gay marriage and now at 24 seeing it could be in danger is so odd!
Ask yourself what kind of relationship would you like to be in if you knew the only reason you’re in it is because the other was forced to be with you.
I appreciate your videos. Thank you Mama. Commenting so others see the video
F#qEr-burg will forever make me chuckle!! I caught your twitch stream and I was so excited when I heard you were making a YT video about this bs as well.
This young lady must be N.Y built or either influenced using the name Herb....😂that's mad funny yo, 🫡 to this young lady.
Great commentary. Thanks for sharing.
Target made a pretty clear stance when they hired private mercenaries to guard their stores in 2020. They're still there....
Thank yoy for this!
If you buy B.O products in these companies- you support them. Trgt doesnt host their product for free. Also- every $ counts. I am a shopaholics & upperclass. I can already see the major $ I used to spend in faux DEI spaces- stacking up. Forget about counting…Dont spend where you are not valued.
We appreciate you talking about this AND your curls are popping while doing it 😎
I know you don't post much, but I'm so glad you do. Also - love this beat! But duh!
Be safe.
I’d walk right in to Walmart and Target and just buy from the black owned brands.
Target and Walmart still get a profit from those sells. Buy straight for the source.
We really have to redefine/refine how we are going to show up for each other as this house burns...
Mrs. Brown telling people to cross Pickett lines is crazy. What’s stopping Target from just dropping them from the store regardless of black people buying from them because they can be considered a “DEI brand” Life is crazy 😂
The scales are balancing. Affirmative action was fine, but DEI was an over-correction.
This lady is not talking logically. She's missing half the givens and variables. More in her feelings rather than nation community advancement. Create ur own employment industries
Operative words, forced to do what they DIDN’T want to do in the first place”?
I wanted to reach through the TV and detach your hair from your eyelashes so bad! 😫😂. Excellent message though🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
💖💖💖 for the algo. missed you!
Missed you too! 🌞🌈🌻🎶🎵🌺🌼🌸
