Nordstrom will not sell brands that are made outside of the U.S., which is why they stopped selling easy spirit shoes and other items. Trump (with his cheap, gaudy brand) is not appropriate. but yes, please don’t buy anything from trump.

It amazes me that people like Cher and Carusone feel they have the right to ostracize someone like Trump because he says similar horrible things about people they support. Isn’t this the heigth of hypocrisy?

Excuse Me One Iam, you are mistaken. These troubles for Donald Trump are not because he is questioning President Obama’s qualifications to be President. It is because he is a beligerant hate-monger who spews lies designed to inflame and divert from the truth, not to reveal it. That is why he is a canchor. If he questioned President Obamas credentials with any intelligence, sanity or respect he wouldn’t be having these ‘troubles’ as you put it. Do you know why no one with actual clear minded intelligence has questioned Mr. Obama’s citizenship or education records or whatever Trump is screaming about this week? Because there is no story there. There is no issue there – it is all racist crazy talk and everyone with any sense knows that. If you don’t, then I’m sorry for your obvious willingness to cling to ignorance.

There is something to be said to people, organizations, and corporations that have not accepted we are living in a new age of instant collective interactions to things that matter to us. Expectations like positive human relations and the vocal affirmation that everyone has the right to be treated like a human being have become the antidote to four years of vitriol and the demeaning of those who don’t look, speak or think like us.

November 6th was the first proof of the political will of the new demographic that includes young people, progressive men and women, informed persons of color. They have proclaimed that the Ostrich Syndrome and the desire to turn back the clock will no longer be tolerated. Instead individuals, organizations and corporations suffering from these maladies can expect to receive instant tough love or possible quarantine until cured rather than the annoying silence and disappointed head shake of the past.

We are a nation moving forward. Avoid the dust by keeping pace.

Trump absolutely should be allowed to enjoy the rights afforded by the many pillars of our democracy. No argument there. However, he and the companies he represents must endure the results of his exercising that right. They are not mutually exclusive. Carusone is exercising his as well, as it should be. At the end of the day maybe we take one step closer instead two steps back. One the best lessons I ever learned came from my daughter when she was about seven years old. Some unfortunate event had happened, I don’t recall the detail, but I had said something to the effect of asking why was there evil in the world. Her response was “so we know what good is”. Thanks to Mr. Trump I have an idea.

Angelo Carusone’s bullying of White, conservative males is clearly morally superior to Donald Trump’s right to feedom of expression. Macy’s shall be destroyed because Mr. Carusone dislikes the politics of one of their strategic partners. Saul Alinsky would be proud.

I agree boycott and do not buy Trump’s inferior junk made overseas. Trump is a joke that the banks had to bail out years ago to keep him in business. He thinks he is so smart but he is an inbred hatemonger who had to pay his kids way into Wharton and pay someone else to do their school work like all rich people do. His kids are not bright and they look like they are all inbred like European royalty. He has no class or taste with all of that horrible ghetto gold in his homes. Who does that except rappers? It is safe to see that class cannot be bought. I will admit his most recent wife is attractive but she only married him for his money. Who would marry him for any other reason? He is so afraid he will lose his woman to a black man. He hates Obama because the President is intelligent and did not inherit his life from a rich slumlord father. The President worked his way up from a poor life in Kansas and Hawaii with a white mother and grandparents that could not buy him a heritage like Trump purchased for his kids. Nobody really likes Trump, they just work for him to make money when their careers are so pathetic they have no where else to go. He is an embarrassment and if he had kept his mouth closed we would not have known how illiterate and dumb he really is. I used to admire him many years ago, back when he wrote The Art of the Deal. I thought he was a legitimate businessman but now I realize he is the current Barnum and Bailey huckster type. I am not sure who is the bigger liar Trump or that fat drug addict Rush Limbaugh. Do not buy his crappy clothes or anything he sells since the items will always lack quality.

For clarity, Macy's is on our 25 Noteworthy Companies list, they are not a DiversityInc Top 50 company. Luke Visconti, CEO, DiversityInc

I quit shopping at Macy’s long time ago – have no idea how they made it on the Diversity List. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and Mr. Trump can have his but is that what Macy’s wants to portray.
