An Atlanta-area black megachurch pastor has called for a 40-day boycott from Target over the retailer’s rollback of DEI initiatives, while calling black Trump supporters “coons” and “runaway slaves.”
“I feel bad for them coons in the White House, who are in there tap dancing for massah, wearing bow ties shimmying and grinding, laughing like nothin' is funny!” Jamal Bryant screamed into the microphone during a so-called sermon at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church this past weekend.

It's disgusting to see a so-called man of faith hurl such vile, racially charged insults at fellow Black Americans just because they choose to… pic.twitter.com/sXArje0Cv8
The reverend-in-name-only demanded his congregation stop shopping at Target after the store chain scaled back their costly and ineffective DEI initiatives that had previously prioritized race and gender in their hiring and supplier practices.

"I want the stock to go down because we are standing in righteous indignation against racism and sexism in this nation," he ranted. "We are going to break the spirit of White entitlement. We are going to break the spirit of racism and sexism."
Bryant, who has openly praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan for years and who campaigned with Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election, continued, “I ain’t afraid of the spooks who sit at the door. These runaway slaves hidin’ in the White House gon’ throw my picture up thinkin’ I’m gonna be afraid.”
Gosh, it'd be a shame if someone stripped his church’s tax-exempt 501(c)(4) status on account of his using the pulpit as his own personal political soapbox.
I bet he’d get real afraid real quick if his cashflow was in jeopardy.
