Target's diversity chief says 'white women' should take action against systemic racism and call out 'transgressions' in the post-George Floyd world - as retail giant tanks $12.5B in value amid botched Pride merchandise

Target's chief diversity and inclusion officer has suggested that white women should help tackle systemic racism in the workplace by using their voice more.

Keira Fernandez made the comment earlier this year, encouraging white women to speak up against transgressions 'so the woman of color in the room doesn't always have to.'

She then spoke to a white person on the panel, and made the claim that in certain spaces their voice would 'be heard differently than mine.'

Fernandez said: 'And that is why we're doing this work. That's why it's so important to have this conversation.

'But we also can't ignore the systemic history that got us here and then the things that we have to do differently to remove those barriers. Use your voice.'

A Chief Diversity Officer is by definition racist.

Cancer- what you need to do is go in fast and cut out as much as possible. To give even a chance for survival you cut even more. Then pray.

How about retail outlets sticking to just being retail outlets?

A successful business being destroyed by its idiot leftist “management.”
Shareholders should sue! And sue big!

I am offended by target’s explicit racism and I pledge never to shop there again !

Which will be easy since, although I’ve only been in one of their stores a couple of times in the last five years, I never buy anything there anyway.

The BLM’s don’t say a word about the 30+ black on black murders every weekend. There is no white concern over ‘racism’ because the alleged incidents are, in virtually every case, imaginary or faked - it’s a power play to gain social control.

what does it mean white women should use their voice more?
Why not just say women?
Then again why are they constantly pushing racism? Can’t wait for this fad to be over.

I went to Target once and didn’t like the staff nor the atmosphere. But gave it a second try with the same vibe. Never went back.

Diversity offices are nothing more than jobs programs for the otherwise unemployable.

But my inherent White privilege prevents me from having any association with non White minorities unless we were friends 10 years ago.

Maybe diversity chief is a perverted homo deviate at Target.

‘so the woman of color in the room doesn’t always have to.’

Trust us, you don’t have to. Everyone in the room would be happy for you to just sit down and shut up Keira.
