Now we see the reason for DECADES of Political Correctness conditioning. Now we see tge foolishness of tolorating it. Now they only have to cracking the whip and ALL companies fall into line. The Left now effectively control these companies and who they hire and who they sell to...
You don’t see much of anything from what I can tell.
Go sell your wares elsewhere.
I own stock in a couple of those.
I think these companies panicked when they saw their competitors towing the line. The CEO says “get a statement out now, and make it stronger than our competitor”. I am waiting for one of these CEOs to quit his job and make sure he is replaced by a black.
CFA is really racking up the “woke” points aren’t they?

Who generated that list and how do we know it’s not fake?
I think, with a few exceptions, this is a bunch of bull sh#t.
I wonder if some of these places were ‘nudged’ for donations.
Guessing some were intimidated to contribute.
The ‘Chicago way’.
I got this from 23andme
For those in the black community, we know you carry an extra burden right now and 23andMe stands in solidarity with you.
Our company is based on the foundation that all of us are linked by a shared thread - DNA - that we are genetically 99.5% the same. We share so much in common, yet black and brown skin means you will disproportionately experience injustices and prejudice that can put lives on completely different trajectories.
I feel awful and overwhelmed by the events going on. Hashtag after hashtag, there is little meaningful change. How can we break the cycle? The world is filled with people who, I believe, genuinely want to create an equitable society but are unsure how to take the first step to make that happen. We all have habits we need to break, biases we need to actively fight and silence we need to end.
As a leader who really cares, I feel the responsibility to not just talk about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, but to make meaningful changes and contributions through my own actions and how we operate at 23andMe. Our management team, Board and employee base must have greater diversity. I am ashamed to say I do not have a single black employee who is at Director level or above. Our product is euro-centric but must expand to be inclusive and equitable. We absolutely have the potential to be better. Despite our efforts, I have to honestly say that we are also part of the problem.
I’m holding myself accountable. I’m holding 23andMe accountable. And I’m asking that our customers hold us accountable. This will include making sure that we change our hiring practices, that we make sure we give greater promotional opportunities within the company, that we dedicate resources to evolve our product to better represent all communities and that my management team and Board have more inclusive representation.
George Floyd and many others in the black community died an unjust and tragic death. I send my deepest sympathy to the families, friends and communities that are grieving. We regrettably cannot change the past but I can certainly learn from this and will do everything I can to be part of changing the future.

Discouraging as it is, the public should be made aware of what BLM really is. If this is a front group like the Black Panters were a front group for violence, then they have to be exposed.
One of the things communists use to do was to create front group with a name that people would all accept. BLM has done the same thing. Who would say black lives don’tr matter? So they go you already with the name.
Ask why BLM don’t clean up the killing in Chicago if they are so effective to give money to? Ask where are they protesting on that scene with so many dead every weekend?
If they say they are against “systemic racism” ask why are all the democrat run cities the worse for blacks? Shouldn’t they have cleaned up the “systemic racism” years ago?
THEN
Go on the offence. By naming all the black race baiters that have made a killing on the blacks. Name Obama for doing nothing for the blacks with eight years in office. Point to Sharpton, Farakon, etc., ask making money off of blacks.
That’s a start.
Just saw a report that the CEO of Reddit did just that. Idiots.
As I said, wasn't it MLK that declared, "I have a dream, that one day my children will be judged not for the content of their character, but for the color of their skin...I have a dream today..."
Or something like that...
Bttt.

Correct. And weve all been told to and taught to Shop Local.
And there is a lot to be said for that. For instance last year my local electric co-op finally brought fiber optic to my rural community. Wonderful. I got rid of AT&T/DIRECTV as fast as I could. And because I live 45 miles away from Lowes or Home Depot I save time and money by shopping at my local true value hardware store. Krogers and Walmart? Nope not any for miles and miles so I shop at my little hometown market. Bank of America or Wells Fargo? Hell no. Frost bank. I could go on and on.
This is why they want to kill small businesses, they can control the large ones.
Every one of them has a link to the archive of their webpage/tweet/email campaign.
You can choose to disbelieve in reality as much as you want though.
The vast majority I’ve had zero to do with anyway.
Biggies like Amazon are hard to avoid.
I’ve bought my last Gopro. The one I have is a few years old and barely know where it is most of the time.
I’m with you. My dogs don’t need for a treat the McDonad’s $1 sausage biscuits and $1 cheeseburgers that when I get down the road throw the bun out for the birds/strays. I can give a check instead of a gift card from WalMart and Amazon (the recipients would like that better anyway). Mastercard. . .there goes my 2% cashback. I need to check the list again.
So Antifa can call anyone they want a nazi and they’re good to go, right? These companies all disgust me.
