Target & Texas Roadhouse ARE DONE😡 They Crossed The Line‼️

from The Trent Out Loud Show - Daily Takes on Pop Culture, News & Headlines · host Trent Out Loud

Send us Fan MailBoth Target and Texas Roadhouse are facing major backlash, with Black consumers and others across social media calling for boycotts, protests and economic blackouts.Target is once again under fire after selling a Halloween costume that critics said resembled Blackface and Jim Crow-era minstrel imagery. The company pulled the costume and apologized, admitting that it was offensive and should never have been sold. But for many Black consumers, the apology is not enough, especially after Target’s controversial rollback of its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Some organizers are making it clear that their boycott of Target never ended. Now Texas Roadhouse is dealing with a completely different and extremely disturbing controversy.A viral post allegedly connected to a Facebook group claimed that white restaurant servers were intentionally tampering with food belonging to Black customers, including allegedly licking their fingers, touching customers’ food and contaminating rolls. The post specifically named Texas Roadhouse and Logan’s Roadhouse and even alleged that some cooks were involved. Those allegations quickly spread across social media and sparked calls for Black customers to boycott the restaurants. Texas Roadhouse has denied the allegations, called them completely unfounded and says it is investigating the situation, including through a third party. But regardless of where the investigation ultimately leads, the allegations themselves have created enormous outrage and reopened a much bigger conversation about how Black customers are treated when they spend their money.For me personally, I’m done with both companies. I’ve been done with Target for years, and after everything surrounding this Texas Roadhouse controversy, I’m done there too.On today’s show, we’re breaking down exactly what happened with Target, why Black consumers are furious again, what was actually alleged about Texas Roadhouse, how Texas Roadhouse responded and why calls for economic boycotts are gaining so much attention.https://www.trentoutloud.com/ For inquiries: [email protected]  JOIN THE TRENT OUT LOUD MEMBERSHIP PERKS PROGRAM.   Hit that "Hype" button below.   Follow us on all social platforms @thetrentoutloudshow & @trentoutloud   POWERED BY TRENT OUT LOUD NETWORK INC.#Target #TexasRoadhouse #TargetBoycott #TexasRoadhouseBoycott #BlackCommunity #Boycott #BlackNewsSupport the showThanks for listening!
