Target CEO says woke capitalism ‘great’ for their brand and ‘the right thing for society’
Fox News ^ | May 23, 2023 | Yael Halon

Target’s CEO said in a recent interview that “woke” capitalism is “great” for their brand and “the right thing for society,” but with the corporation’s image and bottom line at stake, the retail chain seems to have changed its tune.

Target CEO Brian Cornell made the comment during an interview on Fortune’s “Leadership Next” podcast on May 17, days before the retail chain became the target of outrage from customers and online backlash over its June Pride month collection this year, which includes “tuck friendly” women’s bathing suits for transgender people, “gender fluid” mugs, and LGBTQ rainbow-themed clothing for children.

...

The reaction seemingly worried Target management, who took “emergency” action Friday directing some managers and district senior directors to tamp down the Pride sections in their stores over fears of re-creating a “Bud Light situation,” Fox News Digital first reported Tuesday, citing a Target insider.

Now they're pulling merchandise, according to Reuters:

NEW YORK, May 23 (Reuters) - Target, which rolled out its Pride Collection at the start of May, is pulling some products from its stores after facing customer backlash, saying it was acting to protect employee safety, the company told Reuters on Tuesday.

Target Corp (TGT.N) is offering more than 2,000 products, including clothing, books, music and home furnishings as part of its Pride Collection. The items include "gender fluid" mugs, "queer all year" calendars and books for children aged 2-8 titled "Bye Bye, Binary," "Pride 1,2,3" and "I'm not a girl."

"Since introducing this year's collection, we've experienced threats impacting our team members' sense of safety and wellbeing while at work," Target said in a statement.

"Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior," the Minneapolis-based retailer said.

Fact is, not everyone wants woke merchandise and many don't want what they perceive as the gay agenda constantly pushed in their faces, as if the group merits special treatment. While gay-themed merchandise has been around for years and is eminently recognizable as a result, (with no problems, actually), there seems to be a reaction against continuously putting it front and center, seemingly all the time. Meanwhile, other customers are against the transgender agenda, given the recent mass shooting in Tennessee, the issues surrounding women's right to privacy, and the end of women's competitive sports. 

Now that customers have learned the power of their boycott, in the case of Bud Light, which featured an ad by a transgender activist whose schtick is mocking women as flimsy 1950s-style ditzes, customers very well may be ready to act again to send the same message to Target, and Target now knows it.

Stopped going to Target when they started letting men use their women dressing room and bathrooms. Target are made with a bunch of idiots.

I was looking at new update app features on my Apple iPhone. The latest one has “New Pride Celebration wallpaper for the lock screen to honor the LGBTQ community and culture.”

Accepting and tolerating any of this trans / homosexual agenda is opening your heart to Satan.

It will not end well.

This is nothing less than grooming.

A better ‘advertisement’ from a simpler time though it features shoplifting and minor inventory entropy:

We’re counting on you to double-down in June.

I never cared...

I believe more and more people are starting to feel the way I do.

I never cared if you were “gay” or whatever acronym you chose to call yourself until you started wanting special privileges.

I never cared what color your skin was until you started blaming me for your problems I didn’t create.

I never cared about your political affiliations until you started to condemn me for mine.

I never cared where you were from in this great republic until you began condemning people based on where they were born and the history that makes them who they are.

I have never cared if you were well off or poor because I’ve been both until you started calling me names for working hard to make a better life for myself.

I’ve never cared if your beliefs are different than mine until you said my beliefs are wrong.

I’ve never cared if you didn’t like guns until you tried to take my guns away.

Now, I care.

I’ve given all the tolerance I have to give. This is no longer my problem, it’s your problem. You can still fix it, it’s not too late, but it needs to be soon.

I’m a very patient person. But I’m running out of patience. There are literally tens of millions of people just like me that are sick of all the Anti-American crap!

I’ve always cared about life and all lives, but now you try to force the notion on me and other fellow citizens and patriots that certain lives matter more than others.

You protest, riot, attack, burn, and loot.

Your so-called “movement” has become a radical out-of-control bunch of thugs, criminals, and anarchists who are intent on destroying our country.

The masses have had enough! America is the greatest country of liberties on Earth, and if you don’t like America, then we invite you to leave. We are done caring about your misguided “feelings.”

You don’t have the right to enjoy American freedoms when you are trying to take that right away from other Americans.

If they just pull merch without firing those responsible for bringing in the merch, they’re not actually solving the problem.
