Boycotting Ben and Jerry's is just as stupid, arrogant, and pointless as it is to boycott Chick-Fil-A.
IDK...it sure shook Target to it's foundation
Link? I'm not sure what you're talking about tbh?
When Target decided to make their now ill fated decision to allow men/transgenders into women's restrooms they were boycotted and their losses were literally in the millions. Not to mention their stock price tanked further adding to their woes
The Target boycott is costing more than anyone expected
Your article cites a 1% drop in Target's stock as evidence. However Target's stock was already falling for years (literally) before the boycott. There's no clear evidence that this is why. For example it could very well be from Amazon's growing share in retail.
Target is closing stores by the dozens. Don't they announce things like that on DWTS?Boycotting Ben and Jerry's is just as stupid, arrogant, and pointless as it is to boycott Chick-Fil-A.

Socially conscious ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s faces calls for a boycott after the company announced its support for the Black Lives Matter protest movement this week. “Systemic and institutionalized racism are the defining civil rights issues of our time,” the Vermont-based company said in a statement. “We’ve come to understand that to be silent about the violence and threats to the lives and well-being of black people is to be complicit in that violence and those threats.”
Sending a pointed message to its detractors, Ben and Jerry’s said: “All lives do matter. But all lives will not matter until black lives matter.”
The company posted its support for Black Lives Matter on Facebook and Twitter.
The company added that it does not place blame for racism against the black community on individual police officers.
Rather, we believe it is due to the systemic racism built into the fabric of our institutions at every level, disadvantaging and discriminating against people of color in ways that go beyond individual intent to discriminate. For this reason, we are not pointing fingers at individuals; we are instead urging us to come together to better our society and institutions so that we may finally fulfill the founding promise of this country: to be a country with dignity and justice for all.
In May, the company announced that proceeds from its new flavor of ice cream, “Empower Mint,” would help benefit the North Carolina NAACP’s campaign to repeal the state’s voter ID law.
The company has previously released ice cream flavors in support of same-sex marriage equality and climate change. Company co-founders Jerry Greenfield and Ben Cohen have also come out in support of the Iran nuclear deal.
But after backing Black Lives Matter, the online backlash against the ice cream-making duo is mounting.

Wrong, don't try to snow me, I invest and follow the markets closely. Their stock dropped from around 83 and change to around 67 due to the descion and boycott. Don't try it was a retail slump either, Walmart's sales and stock price increased during the same time period.
Target felt the wrath of the consumer
Target is closing stores by the dozens. Don't they announce things like that on DWTS?Boycotting Ben and Jerry's is just as stupid, arrogant, and pointless as it is to boycott Chick-Fil-A.

So is Walmart...what's your point?
Let's see them put a picture of Obama on that one.I'll think about slacking off on the Chunky Monkey.
Whoa! What's with the racism?
She would probably like that.More chunky monkey and mint chocolate chip for the rest of us. I hope Ben and Jerry's will have a sale as well.
You have to be foolish to boycott delicious ice cream.
Conservatives were also mad when they came out with "chubby hubby" that endorsed gay marriage.
I wouldn't boycott ice cream if I caught Ben and Jerry tag teaming my grandmother.
