ATLANTA (AP) — The pastor of a Georgia megachurch who led a nationwide 40-day “fast” boycott of Target stores over the retail chain's commitment to diversity initiatives is now calling for that effort to continue as a “full Target boycott.”
The Rev. Jamal Bryant said this week that the Minneapolis-based retailer has not met all of the boycott effort's demands. Among them: Restoring its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion principles and pledging money to Black-owned banks and businesses.
Target announced in January that it would phase out a handful of DEI initiatives, including a program designed to help Black employees build meaningful careers and promote Black-owned businesses. Conservative activists and President Donald Trump have sought to dismantle DEI policies in the federal government and schools.

that’s what I was thinking! Just imagine the peace and quiet.
But no!
He thinks Target isn’t woke ENOUGH.
A lot of good minded blacks got tired of every sermon being to abort your baby and hate the whites.
Houses of worship that engage in politics should lose their tax exempt status.
Atlanta (Fulton County) is a cesspool, and sometimes makes the rest of the state stink.
“diversity initiatives”= RACISM!
Anyone else wondering just how much taxpayer money this megachurch has been getting from Deep State over the years...?
Inquiring minds want to know.
From September, 2024. Note the timing, right before the election...

He’s too late. We boycotted Target about 20 years ago because they boycotted the Salvation Army.
Then about 10 years ago the SA went woke, and my bell-ringing days were over.
That’s what these are: shakedowns.
Pay me protection money or I smash your store. It’s a thug mentality.
“Houses of worship that engage in politics should lose their tax exempt status.”
If a mostly white church were to be avid in conservative politics (and I think they should be, as they were in the 1700s), they’d definitely be punished in some way. Maybe losing tax-exempt status.
But black churches have been blatantly supporting liberal politics from the pulpits, even having candidates giving stump speeches. They’re fine; no repercussions.
Correction, my above link is to a church in Georgia with the same name.
There are a bunch of these apparently.
And I’m having a devil of a time finding any 990s on any of them.
And I boycotted the salvation army over their dei initiatives
Booker T. Washington warned us about the black preachers.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
Isaiah 5:20
No church has ever lost their tax exempt status over politics. But the majority white churches spend their time scared to death to talk about contemporary issues in fear of losing their 501c3.
I had a church elder tell me that to my face once when I called him on following the state rather than the Lord.
it’s time for a national divorce
Deep States, not just here in the US, have been paying off compliant churches with billions in taxpayer money.
The last time I checked every Cabinet office in the US had a department that was funneling taxpayer money to compliant churches.
Churches that stayed closed during CoupFlu received billions in taxpayer money in return for closing the doors on their parishioners.
Too many churches serve mammon and Deep State, not God.
And as for this particular New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, I’d start looking for funding from HHS.
