US Target Targets White American Women to Join the Fight Against Systematics Racism, Blah, blah By Charles Taylor (Florida)
With the white race fast becoming a racial minority in America, a fate also waiting for the UK and Australia, corporations are adjusting for the shifting demographics. Take Target for example, which is “on target,” which should have a familiar ring to readers of Alor.org. After going through the controversy about trans products, the backlash, and all the threats of violence if said products are not returned made by some unknown group, the latest issue is a Target Corporate diversity executive demanding that white women to callout transgressions in attacking the alleged systematic racism of America. Is that the same systematic racism that gives high-paying positions to people to callout supposed racism? We assume so. And as for the shifting demographics, the major changes in America are not with the Black population, but Asian and Hispanics, so she is barking up the wrong tree so to speak. You Aussies would say “gum tree.”
And, wouldn’t it be a better use of resources to tackle the massive problem of shop lifting? Who is doing most of that by the way? Better get white women Karen’s onto that one, when they stop ringing the police:

“A Target Corporation diversity executive demanded "White women" get to work to combat the supposed systemic racism in America, while adding the retail giant was making some internal decisions based on predictions of shifting demographics.
"One of the hardest things in the world to be every day is Black," Kiera Fernandez, a chief diversity and inclusion officer at Target, said in a video interview with Essence Magazine in January.
Target has ramped up its DEI efforts, in particular after the death of George Floyd in 2020. Target established the Racial Equity Action and Change – which is led by Fernandez – to rapidly "accelerate" those efforts. The task force focuses on engaging Black customers in stores and ramping up promotions and hiring of Black employees. The retail giant also promised to drastically increase its demographics of Black employees – which was at 50%.
"[W]e’re on track to spend more than $2 billion with Black-owned brands by 2025. We’ve already increased our investments with Black-owned companies and suppliers – including marketing agencies, construction companies, facilities maintenance and more – by 50% since 2020," Fernandez told the HR Digest in July 2022 about Target.
"And in that shift, it's important for us to… think about how do we start planting seeds today that prepare for those future… demographic shifts," she said during a 2021 panel from Twin Cities Business Talks: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion which was posted to YouTube.
She proceeded to say that it was the role of "White women" to call out "transgressions."
"I think the number one thing that I would encourage White women to do is take the [DEI] learnings… and use your voice… so the woman of color in the room doesn't always have to."
She then singled out a White person present in the panel discussion and said her voice, on the basis of her race, would be given more weight in the workplace.”
