It has become clear that the Target boycott is working pretty well. So well that the CEO just met with Al Sharpton, a 70 yr civil rights activist.

Protesting with our wallets is effective!

I thought to myself who the fuck is A.I. Sharpton?

And his cousin Sweet Baby Rays Sharpton

Other cousin K.C. "Masterpiece" Sharpton.

I hate how the popular fonts are so poor at this. Serifs are good, actually

Oh wow, I saw you on the interview about fonts just now. Thanks for showing me a new one that I like.

Came here to get clarity about this.

Classic, invoking Al Sharpton when you need to look repentant because racists think this guy is the mascot for black people so if they fake an apology to him, people will forget the whole thing and get back to giving them money and they can go back to being racist

Sharpton is all about Sharpton. The novel Bonfire of the Vanities might as well have a neon sign above Rev. Reginald Bacon, "This ass is Al Sharpton."

BTW, it's a fantastic book.

Now they just need to find a strawman for the gays and they'll be all set.

Aim for the posterior bulleye!

I think Target is on its way out. They had something like three or four quarters in a row of losses.

South Park kissing the ass reference. Too bad the people DEI was meant to help happen to have memories longer than a gold fish, or my agent of chaos kitten.

Edit; who did this upset? I didn't think right wingers were on Lemmy yet.

Edit 2; thanks for proving me wrong lemmy!

The one thing I hate about boost is how hard it makes it to upvote quality content like this masterpiece!

[–] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago

Wait target is still open in America?

fuck them, keep it going, they will see one giant fall and learn for 20 years.
