After George Floyd, a Black man who died under the knee of a white police officer in Minneapolis – where Target is headquartered – the company announced it was donating $10 million to"support nonprofit partners focused on addressing the systemic and structural barriers facing Black communities.", pledging to grow its percentage of Black employees by 20% over the next three years.Target said it is establishing resources to support Black-owned businesses and help them grow.
Through existing programs like Target Accelerators and events like the Black-Owned Business Vendor Fair, Target says it has previously brought in diverse businesses. On itsA list of the brands and the products are posted onunder"Buy Black." In beauty, Target says it has a"strong representation of 50 Black-owned and Black-founded brands, with plans to continue to grow the assortment.
Mented Cosmetics is one of those businesses, said Amanda E. Johnson, co-founder and chief operations officer of the beauty brand, in a video released by Target Wednesday. “We are a pigment-first beauty brand celebrating women of all hues,” Johnson said, adding Target looks after the small brands and helps owners understand the business. “We knew what it felt like to be othered, and to not have products that truly were made for you, and to not feel like you were a part of the beauty community. ... Mented seeks to change all of that.”
Pernell Cezar, co-founder and CEO of BLK & Bold Specialty Coffee, said having one of the largest retailers investing in Black-owned businesses “not only impacts the economics of the Black community, but our society as a whole.”

So what. If it's a product I can use or like I buy it. Really don't care the race of the developer.

That's great! Hopefully you take that business from China to invest in these companies.

Does this mean we’re going back to segregation? Must we label, identify everything in terms of ppl’s color/ancestry/religion? Should we specify race on job applications? Businesses? School kid homework? College applications? make all decisions based on race/religion? segregation
This is why I shop at target.
If they replaced the word black with white, they'd be called racist lol.
