Target Kisses Diablo Butt 4 A Buck?

Less known than Target’s LGBTQ propaganda is its supposed commitment to the US military. But now Fox reports “Target backs org pushing US demilitarization, Mt. Rushmore shutdown for being “symbol of White supremacy”. What gives?

Target renamed from Dayton-Hudson, is no longer your grandfather’s Marshall Fields of Chicago, which the Minneapolis-based company bought out a few years back. In 2022, for example, Target gave big bucks to South Dakota-based NDN Collective whose website’s CRT-laden content suggests the USA is a nasty place to be since 1619 and, Israel is too; and don’t think the US military isn’t yet another symbol of white supremacy. As the Fox story observes: “An organization [NDN] funded by Target maintains views hostile to the US military & seeks America to demilitarize itself.” Target says it’s merely ramping up its diversity, equity & inclusion work. But, Fox paints a different picture in which this “agenda” now extends “far beyond enhancing representation & support of historically marginalized groups … in stores … and dipped into funding organizations with far-left & blatantly political agendas.” Its DEI chief, Kiera Fernandez has famously demanded “White women” get to work to combat “systemic racism in America.”

Curiously, Target’s website still insists it has “a long-standing commitment to demonstrating our gratitude to members of the military, veterans & their families AS PART OF ITS EIGHT DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION BUSINESS COUNCILS.” As with so many "woke and go broke" (aka now boycotted) corporations, might we ask: Is this yet another simple example of a business’s hypocritically showing different faces to different folks it wants to sucker into their stores?
