Leaked email from a Silicon Valley investor reportedly shows her blasting Black Lives Matter as 'the true racists' and saying racism isn't a real problem in the US

A Silicon Valley investor and board member at VF Corporation reportedly said last year that Black Lives Matter are "the true racists," according to a leaked email obtained by Axios.

"I don't believe in Black Lives Matter," Veronica Wu reportedly said in the email. "If anything I think they are the true racists trying to stir up things to make this country going to socialism or even communism potentially," Axios reports.

At the time of the email, Wu was a managing partner at Hone Capital, a US venture branch of China Science and Merchants Investment Management Group. Her email comments were reportedly in response to a message from an office manager at Hone that the company planned to mark the Juneteenth holiday in 2020, Axios reported.

Wu is no longer employed with Hone Capital, according to her LinkedIn profile, which lists her current position as the founder and managing partner at First Bight Capital, a biotech venture capital firm.

VF Corporation investigated the Wu's email and found it to be "legitimate," but the company did not remove Wu from her position on the board despite the company's stance on racism and discrimination, Axios reports.

Wu and VF Corporation did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

VF Corporation is home to many well-known brands such as Supreme, Dickies, Timberland, Vans, The North Face, JanSport, and more.

speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.

I wonder if she is a PhD?

Are you with me Doctor Wu
Are you really just a shadow
Of the man that I once knew
Are you crazy are you high?
Or just an ordinary guy..?

Authoritarians like BLM haven’t like truthtellers since before the time of Sir Thomas More. Beheaded.

Her original firm is a mainland China outfit, I suspect its main investors are “capital flight” money out of China.

Her attitude is typical of Chinese, whether in the US or abroad. They dont usually engage in political controversy however, unless there is some concrete objective. One has to learn such attitudes in private. Putting ones opinions out there just because is very un-Chinese. This is a leaked email so it is a rare glimpse into what they are really thinking.

The email was total understatement.

If you are close enough to Chinese friends that they are comfortable talking about anything, ask them about race.

You will be in for a total shock.

Most have racial attitudes not seen since there were slave plantations in the Deep South.

BLM and CRT are the most racist things to hit the USA since the slavery days.

Neither are good for anything at all.

It is racist to point out racism.

Oh, I know it, and how.
Silence is what you will get on the “outside” however.

... Black Lives Matter are "the true racists,"

Hey, BLM black people, stop assaulting Asians, before you claim black lives matter. They don't as long as you assault other races.
