If you choose to see race in my statement that is your problem and not mine. I feel ZERO need to justify myself as it relates to race relations and I will leave it at that. It is news to me that poor and black people do not shop at Target, but the idea that Target is for the elite is just plain silly. I was referring to the appeal Target across the economic spectrum and yes I absolutely believe that it is in downtown's best interest to have a residential population that is not predominantly poor.
