Apple, LinkedIn, Spotify and Twitter have joined a growing chorus of technology companies to hit out at the far right and Donald Trump’s attempt to put white supremacists and leftwing counter-demonstrators at Saturday’s Charlottesville protest on the same moral plane.

Following the lead of Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, Google, Go Daddy and others, Apple CEO Tim Cook pledged $1m donations to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and the Anti-Defamation League and sent a strongly worded memo to staff, quoting Martin Luther King, about the violence in Charlottesville on Saturday.

Rap videos by black artists filled with violent, misogynistic lyrics still hunky-dory on iTunes.

Will Spotify take down the “F—k the police” and “Cop Killer” tracks too? Or the Kill Whitey tracks?

Not to mention the most egregiously offensive tone concerning “b—ches” and “hoes”.

"We hate hate. Unless it is hate for those who don't hate like we do. Then we rather love a bit of hate. So hate the haters who don't hate what we hate.

Sincerely,

your Silicon Valley Robber Barons, in partnership with the fine family of George Soros organizations."

Today they condemn “White power.” Tomorrow “White pride.” then “White.” Oh, they have already done it.

Their position is hatred bigotry and violence is ok for some but not for others.

Donald Trump’s attempt to put white supremacists and leftwing counter-demonstrators at Saturday’s Charlottesville protest on the same moral plane.

Let's tally up the body counts of innocent people murdered by each type of regime. In one column, we'll put Hitler. In the other, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and Castro. If you want to use that yardstick, then the "white supremacitsts" and the "leftwing counter-demonstrators" are clearly not on the same moral plane.

An utter lie. Abject propaganda. These PC liars look like utter fools to anyone who cares to look at the facts.

And any "protesters" who practice violence aren't protesters at all—they're thugs...

They remind me of the Holy Roman Empire—not holy, not roman, and not an empire. :-)

The Holy Roman Empire was the bulwark of Christianity in the world for a thousand years.

Were it not for them, you and your ancestors would be praying 5 times a day in Turkish or Arabic.
