Companies Must Answer For Their Support Of The Radical Black Lives Matter Org
Issues & Insights ^ | 7/9/2020 | I&I Editorial Board

Posted on 07/12/2020 5:41:37 PM PDT by RightGeek

Several companies have been bragging recently that they’re providing financial support to the official Black Lives Matter organization to burnish their PR image. No doubt they’re getting Woke points for doing so. But do the executives at those companies have any idea how radical this group is and what it’s trying to achieve?

The Daily Signal reported earlier this week that at least 18 corporations have pledged hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation.

The list includes: DoorDash, Deckers, Amazon, Gatorade, Microsoft, Glossier, 23andMe, AirBnB, Unilever, Bungie, Nabisco, Dropbox, Fitbit, Developer Digital, Skillshare, Square Enix, The Game Co., and Tinder.

The Daily Signal notes that other companies said they were giving to Black Lives Matter, but didn’t specifically say it was to the foundation.

Private companies are free to give their money to whomever they want. But you’d think that the executives at these corporations would have done the least bit of due diligence before forking over the funds.

So, here are some questions for these companies, and any others that are giving money or encouraging donations to the BLM foundation.

Do your shareholders and employees know that their company is supporting a group run by “trained Marxists”?

...

Do you approve of the BLM’s overtly socialist goal of “collective ownership”?

...

Do you believe that the nuclear family should be abolished in favor of some sort of collectivist child-rearing scheme?

...

Do you believe in “retroactive decriminalization, (and) immediate release … of all drug-related offenses and prostitution,” and “reparations for the devastating impact of the ‘war on drugs’ and criminalization of prostitution”?

It’s pretty good when you can get your victim to pay for his own destruction.

BIG business conspiring with totalitarian government. Small businesses shaken down. Non-essential. Pay to sell. Eliminate your competition by any means. Dark times trending in the republic of The United States of America. When EVIL assumes CONTROL. Witness.

The trick is to find ways of cancelling the BLM and its individual members

[NEVER spell out the alleged meaning of BLM. It needs to be separated from the meme. Otherwise people remain very confused by the meme vs. BLM’s socialist/commie utopia plan]

I notice a number of companies voice support for “Black Lives Matter” but quietly give their money to other civil rights groups.

Conservatives need to focus on the weakest company in this list and stop doing business with it.

My choice of the weakest company is AirBnB. The travel and entertainment industry has been among the hardest hit from covid. And it will take many months, if not years, for the travel industry to recover.

In the meantime, travelers should use alternatives to AirBnB. A couple of alternatives are www.homeaway.uk and www.tripadvisor.com

Until companies start seeing their revenue drop, nothing will change.

betcha donuts each one of those companies has a "diversity and inclusiveness" office and probably a chief "diversity officer".

their hiring and firing are most likely done by the HR department which is most likely staffed by majority minorities.

in some companies there is a a targeted hiring process to recruit from historically black colleges, partnering with the urban league etc.

no doubt the people staffing the "d&i" (ever notice that could be pronounced as die") offices have backgrounds in the "social justice" majors or are heavily into "intersectional social justice".

I seriously doubt the ceos really understand the snakes they've brought into the company.

I think the CEOs have been taken hostage by the D&I depts and feel painted into a corner - what a racket this is. And as you said, most CEOs have probably not had the time time to research BLM, it just sounds good on paper.
Obviously the Goya CEO is onto their scam.

Do your shareholders and employees know that their company is supporting a group run by “trained Marxists”?

Do they know it was founded by a convicted domestic terrorist pardoned by Bill Clinton?

This is what happens when you lower the taxes on companies and wealthy classes in general. Most of them become liberals. When the Republicans are in charge corporate issues are the only conservative issues that we win at. Now that they are leaving the GOP and become Dems maybe we can spend out capitol on our issues if we ever get the chance.
