The NAACP presents surveys or something similar, that businesses can complete in order to recieve a ranking by the NAACP or whatever subsidiary organization does this...anyhow, Target, among others, simply didn't complete the "survey" (from what I understand, its not like a single page survey, its an extensive questionaire type project to complete), and for their non-compliance, recieved an F from the NAACP. Also, someone from the NAACP made some comments saying that black people should avoid their stores, but didn't actually use the word boycott. Target issued a press release noting some statistics, where 40 something percent of their employees are black, along with 20 something percent of their supervising/managerial staff. They said they did not complete the survey because they want to be inclusionary of everyone, and not focus on a single race. I find it really ridiculous when the NAACP and similar "civil rights" organizations issue these type of surveys to companies and universities, and give them a failing grade for not responding. Who are they to determine that everyone must take time to participate in something, for fear of being deemed not hospitable/unreceptive/prejudiced or something along those lines.
