Remember that the NAACP is calling for a massive boycott of Walmart, McDonald's and Meta because of their about face on DEI under pressure from the vague notions of the US president and his friends.
I would appreciate it you participated in this boycott too. It seems like it's pretty big.
(The NAACP has likely spoken with people at these organizations and found no common ground. They kind of hate calling for corporate boycotts so I can only imagine they go nowhere and were disgusted.)

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •It's been a really long time since they've called for this kind of boycott, and while I could make their list much longer, or expand the reasons, I'm happy to see a huge stable organization not sitting on their hands and not avoiding big targets.
So, I think this is the right move.
Boycott McDonald's, Walmart and Meta.

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •it sounds like they are explicitly avoiding the term “boycott” in this instance. They’ve created a page called “The Black Consumer Advisory” urging people to spend their money elsewhere.
Might just be a semantic difference, the three companies you’ve listed are there: naacp.org/campaigns/black-cons…
Like others have mentioned I rarely use any of those companies services, but I’ll be sharing it with my friends who do. Thank you for sharing it here

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •Agreed. But NAACP is explicitly not using the word "boycott." And I suppose they are not including Target because that company supports several Black businesses.
It's easy to boycott MacDonald's. Meta a bit harder until you can get your tribe to move. And Walmart? I used to not shop there, but I'm already boycotting Amazon, so that leaves me with the problematic Target.
We've nearly waited too late to boycott the few retail stores we have left. So for me it's a work in progress.

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •sure, I'll start boycotting in, um, a couple decades ago 😀
For the same reasons NAACP is asking for the boycott as well

Once I’ve run out of both money AND crack and I’m forced to go to a white store, I do appropriate Black culture while shoplifting. But it’s ok because I pray to St Floyd every night and beg for forgiveness.

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •My branch of the NAACP expressly stated they are not boycotting. I suspect that this more about being sued by the companies than making a statement. Let's face the facts. Walmart and Boeing have a lot more money to offer lawyers than the NAACP. That is the threat the NAACP is confronting.
That does not mean that we, you, me or anyone can't make a list of anti DEI companies and act on our own initiative. Personally, I never liked going to McDonald's. Even when it was convenient.

also boycotting target for turning their back on DEI, and really truing not to get anything from amazon.
Costco gets almost all of my business.

As you say, generally, the NAACP is quite conservative about these things. The merit, then, is that when they *do* speak to it, we get a trusted source.
