Dr. Jamal Bryant and the Target Boycott

Dr. Jamal Bryant and the Target Boycott

Author: Social Proof Network February 12, 2026 Duration: 1:25:06

The internet laughed. The boycott was real.

When Druski’s mega church skit went viral, millions joked about the culture of Black mega churches. But at the same time, Pastor Jamal Bryant was mobilizing thousands in a nationwide boycott of Target over DEI rollbacks.

So which is it?

Is the Black Church a punchline… or one of the most powerful institutions in America?

In this conversation, we break down:

• The Target boycott and its real economic impact

• Whether corporate America still responds to organized faith communities

• Why mega churches get mocked — and whether it’s deserved

• The tension between influence, accountability, and public perception

• What role the Black Church plays in culture, politics, and economic power in 2026

This isn’t just about religion.

It’s about money. Influence. Culture. And who actually moves the needle.

Watch the full episode and decide for yourself:

Mocked… or powerful?
