“Target Store Closings Show Limits of Pledges Made To Black Communities”

[petro]

This article is so irresponsible. It uses the tragedy of a store closing in an urban community to assail Capitalism and frame Target as the racist corporation that does not want to invest in Black Communities….. all the while ignoring the presence of civil unrest and free form shoplifting.

Targets whole ad campaign before Floyd was towards young, white hipsters with new families.
Then the pandering started.
Haven't been in one of their stores in years.

They run a pretty good lay out.... decent quality ( a step up from wally world ) and the store is spacious and easy to shop in.

They originally started in Mpls as a discount chain from Dayton's of the Dayton family. Dayton's was a higher end mall store in the Twin Cities when Macy's took over their locations. Target then went beyond the midwest expanding nationwide.
Was a totally different store in the eighties. Had a lot of fishing and sporting goods. No groceries.

History of Target Corporation - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

The history of Target Corporation first began in 1902 by George Dayton. The company was originally named Goodfellow Dry Goods in June 1902 before being renamed the Dayton's Dry Goods Company in 1903 and later the Dayton Company in 1910. The first Target store opened in Roseville, Minnesota in 1962 while the parent company was renamed the Dayton Corporation in 1967. It became the Dayton-Hudson Corporation after merging with the J.L. Hudson Company in 1969 and held ownership of several department store chains including Dayton's, Hudson's, Marshall Field's, and Mervyn's. In 2000, the Dayton-Hudson Corporation was renamed to Target Corporation.

Closing stores will only make those who shoplift start looking for other places to do their "business" with.

God bless you always!!!

So are you saying they should stay open to make it easier?
Or perhaps it is finally time to acknowledge, and do something about inner city culture?

Why should those who are innocent lose privileges thanks to those who are guilty?

God bless you and those who truly pay in the end always!!!

Leftists do the same thing for decades with grocery store chains. Target's problem is they opened their mouth with woke statements after their stores were looted.

Ironic the store chain's name is TARGET, isn't it?

Only idiots would put stores in Black communities. I guess it takes some people awhile to learn that lesson.

Instead of assailing Capitalism and calling corporations racist for closing down stores where elderly will no longer get prescriptions and mothers can no longer get food and essentials for their children, why don’t the community organizers and BLM step up and create a coop to fill the void. Or, why not use the void to help grow, invest, or support a Black entrepreneur?

Countless black businesses have been destroyed by those people.
It isn't racism, it's black scum
