Reed and Felicia Smith confront the complicated reality of modern Black activism through the Target boycott, economic power, community accountability, and the difference between symbolic protest and systemic change.They examine whether national boycotts can succeed without clear goals, how Black-owned businesses can become unintended casualties, and why shaming people for not participating may do more damage than good.The conversation also explores generational resilience, local organizing, flawed movement leaders, social media influence, and the importance of supporting meaningful action, even when everyone’s contribution looks different.▶︎ In This Episode00:00 Welcome to BEP Live01:45 Is Selective Outrage Helping Black America?07:02 Rejection, Resilience, and the Next Generation19:12 The Target Boycott Dilemma25:43 What Does a Successful Boycott Look Like?35:39 Local Victories Versus Nationwide Movements41:19 Symbolic Victories or Systemic Change?49:34 Social Media, Influence, and Critical Thinking53:25 Stop Shaming and Start Supporting57:06 The Climb and Final Takeaways🔗 ResourcesLinks and resources mentioned in this episode:🔔 Listen and SubscribeListen to this episode and subscribe for future updatessubscribe to A Black Executive Perspective podcast onYouTube PodcastsApple PodcastsSpotify PodcastsAmazon MusicOther platforms or by searching "TonyTidbit"if you like what we're doing and would like to support us, here's some ways you can help us continue the uncomfortable conversations that drive changesubscribe to our newslettergive us up to a 5 star review on Apple Podcastsshare an episode with a friend, family member or colleague🗣️ Follow @ablackexecfollow us across social media @aBlackExecLinkedInInstagramFacebookYouTubeTwitterTikTokWhatsApp⭐️ Follow @TonyTidbitfollow Tony across social media @TonyTidbitTwitterLinkedInFacebookThis episode was produced by TonyTidbit ™ .
