It is hard to believe they would go this far the other way. Of all the sellouts the SPLC!? You couldn’t pick a bigger wedge.
It’s stunning that they’d do something so self sabotaging. And if they were going to do it, why just a $2500 donation? The decision to donate to SPLC would be made at high levels and would not be done lightly. It seems odd that they’d do something that big in such a small way, if that makes sense. I almost think it was some low level person freelancing a bit with small money that they knew wouldn’t get much scrutiny from management. Maybe a mole, maybe someone trying to damage the company, maybe a nut.
