Apparently, not only George Bush hates black people

The NAACP has just put a major fork in the road of my desire to lead a fab life. They have released the names of five corporations that did not respond to a survey that they sent out about the way they support the african american community via hiring and advertising in the black community.

The companies that did not respond landed on the list of companies that the NAACP are now discouraging blacks from spending their money there until the surveys are complete.

Bruce Gordan, president of the NAACP, said that "If corporations spend there money on us, we'll spend on money with those corporations."

I totally agreed, until I saw some of the stores and companies on that list.

Unfortunately, for us black fashionistas on a budget, the one and only Target is on the shit list. To save face, Target released a statement explaining how they did not respond to the survey because they believe that your should not view diversity as in one specific group.

I agree with Target's stand in a way, so I might let them by! The other companies on the list include Dilliard's, Khol's, Sears, and Excel (which I've never heard of!).

A sistah is glad she decided to stick with Bellsouth right about now!
