A lot of companies I shop from are doing the same I just now received this email from PET SMART: BLACK LIVES MATTER. Let’s make a difference Dear PetSmart Family, This is a pivotal moment in our country. It is a time to come together in support of basic human and civil rights and to love one another unconditionally. The belief in unconditional love, that very important lesson we learn every day from our pets, is the heart of PetSmart. We promote belonging and inclusiveness in an environment where individuals with diverse backgrounds and talents can excel. But we can ‐ and must ‐ do better. It isn't enough to say that we value diversity or to speak about inclusion in general terms. Now is the time to listen attentively and to be clear in our words and our actions. Now is the time to state plainly and unequivocally that Black Lives Matter and to do our part to ensure that this is our truth. Right now, we are working on actions including: $1 Million scholarship fund to support all associates of color to advance their educational aspirations. Grants from PetSmart Charities support pets and pet parents in under-represented communities. Enhanced development and recruiting to improve black representation at PetSmart. At PetSmart, we believe pets make us better people, but we know that conscious actions lead to real progress. That is why we must all commit to standing with our Black communities, to taking meaningful action, to being held accountable, and to saying what we must until it is no longer necessary: Black Lives Matter. Sincerely, J.K. Symancyk CEO, PetSmart

I email them back and so “thank you for letting me know where you stand, I will no longer be shopping with your store.

And I won’t.

It seems like the leftists have all come to believe that wrapping their ideas in the banner or anti-racism will prevent them from criticism.

It does, though.

[miserare]

That is outrageous!

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

This could be funny. File a complaint about the “large number of *racist* emails coming from the school.”

[miserare]

My sentiments exactly!

[FreedomVsControl]

One unintended consequence of the shutdown is that our kids aren’t getting the daily dose of propaganda like they used to.

I think these letters show just how frustrated our “educators” are that they can’t drag our children into assembly to harangue them about racism, the way they would be doing if the schools were open.

[miserare]

That is a very good read.

Will Petsmart ban all adoptions of white puppies and kittens?

Am I absolved of all racism because I own a black cat?

[Chgogal]

Does that change the stats?

[TChad]

That is a very good read.

Yes. Clarity was needed, and Kimball provided it.

They are stirring up major hate against whites. Trying to act like it’s 1965 but if you get away from the news and go about your day it’s clear that others of all races are doing the same and people don’t hate each other like the media is trying to say. Just get away from it all.

Covid gave a lot of people a taste of home schooling. I hope it goes big

Heather McDonald article on black on black murders which she estimates at 7,880.

https://bossip.com/589437/race-matters-over-7000-black-people-are-murdered-each-year-94-of-the-time-the-murderer-is-black/

This article stating the number of black Homicides is in Heather McDonald’s number.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/feds-49-of-murder-victims-are-black-men/

“An estimated 16,400 people were murdered in the United States in 2005, down from a peak of 21,400 a decade ago. Similarly, the number of black people slain dropped over the last 10 years, from 10,400 in 1995 to almost 8,000 in 2005.”

According to the article that has little credibility to you it states that over a 34 year period (year ending 2014) 324,000 black men were murdered by a black perpetrator which averages out to 9,500/year.

Most article discuss murders in percentages which is not helpful and frustrating.
