2. Or are they just paying virtue signalling political ransom so they won’t be called “racist”.

That’s it right there. Actually, I think that is what some would call extortion.

I agree. It’s Netflix’s money and they’re putting where it has a real chance of helping people with less being siphoned off. I applaud Netflix for this.

Outlander went SJW. I didn’t even finish the season this year. Thank God for the books.

I remember when they claimed the jews owned the banks and were stealing from the blacks, funny. Now the black owned banks can steal from their own. This is ok just like Blacks killing blacks is ok, a white cop killing a black criminal is not.

There you go — I can’t imagine where any of them would actually be successful or honest and not ascond with all the funds.

Any behavior instituted because of skin color is racist. Whites toward black, blacks toward whites, browns, reds, yellows also apply.

No doubt the funds are insured. And as far as activism goes, this move is better than the shallow PC garbage it too often pumps out on video.
