The following list is companies who have either announced support of the terrorist Black Lives Matter, or who have expressed positions or racist discriminating actions toward whites. People may not even know who some of these are, or they may be familiar, and use their product(s), but could just as easily switch to a competitor equivalent brand.
1. Ben & Jerry's, now owned by Unilever, publicly stated their support for the Black Lives Matter movement four years ago.
2. PayPal - pledged $530 million to support black and minority-owned businesses. The bulk of the money - $500 million - will be devoted to the creation of a economic opportunity fund that will invest in black and under-represented minority businesses and communities. All this is discriminating and harmful to white owned competitor businesses.
3. Since I'm not sure about WalMart and Affirmative Action, I will hold off on them for now. They are pouring $100 Million into what they call a center on racial equity. If it turns out the are an AA employer, their whole $100 will be a complete, hypocritical waste of money.
4. SoftBank Group Corp is launching a $100 million fund to invest in “companies led by founders and entrepreneurs of color.” Obviously, this is discriminatory against against white entrepreneurs.
5. Sony Music Group announced the launch of a $100 million fund to support social justice and anti-racist initiatives around the world. Will hold off on them to. All depends on what they define "social justice and anti-racist initiatives" to be,
6. Warner Music Group, in partnership with the Blavatnik Family, announced the launch of a $100 million fund to support charitable causes related to the music industry, social justice and campaigns against violence and racism. Again, depends on what the "charitable causes" are.
7. Universal Music Group announced it will invest in a $25 million “Change Fund” to support the black community, as well as a Task Force for Meaningful Change (TFMC) to help fight for equality, justice and inclusion. Should be interesting to see what this "Task Force" will do, and how.
8. Fashion Nova pledged $1 million in donations throughout 2020 to various organizations including Black Lives Matter, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and Know Your Rights Camp.
9. Whataburger is designating $1 million of their charitable fund to their internal Feeding Student Success program, which facilitates scholarships and programs aiding Black and minority students.
10. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP said it would give $250,000 each to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Dream Corps, the ACLU and The Center for Policing Equity. NAACP is a racist organization that has supported Affirmative Action discrimination against whites, for decades.
11. Verizon committed $10 million to be shared equally between The National Urban League, NAACP, National Action Network, Leadership Conference for Civil and Human Rights, Rainbow Push Coalition, National Coalition on Black Civic Participation and NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. This is the worst one so far. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, NAACP, ad nauseum.
12. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg shared with his social platform that he was donating $10 million to groups working on racial justice. This depends on the "groups". some groups claim to be "working on racial justice", and they actually are working on racial INjustice to whites.
13. Amazon will donate a total of $10 million to organizations that are working to bring about social justice and improve the lives of Black and African Americans. Recipients—selected with the help of Amazon's Black Employee Network (BEN)—include ACLU Foundation, Brennan Center for Justice, Equal Justice Initiative, Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, NAACP, National Bar Association, National Museum of African American History and Culture, National Urban League, Thurgood Marshall College Fund, UNCF (United Negro College Fund), Year Up. The company will also match employee donations 100% up to $10,000 per employee to these 12 organizations until July 6, 2020.
I have already quit Amazon, cancelled my account. they are an abomination. and have a very anti-police policy.
14. Yum Brands (which owns KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Habit Burger Grill) has pledged to donate $3 million to social justice efforts led by the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, ACLU and nonprofits in Louisville. I might make an exception for Taco Bell. Can't give up the Burrito Supreme, no sour creme.
15. The Denmark-based Lego Group said it will donate $4 million to organization dedicated to supporting black children and educating all children about racial equality. Lego has also requested that members of its affiliate marketing program pause the promotion of specific playsets, many of which have a police or law enforcement theme.
16. On Monday evening, ViacomCBS networks like MTV, Comedy Central, VH1 and others aired nearly 9 minutes of breathing with the words, "I can't breathe" to remember George Floyd and said the video is meant to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement. The video also encouraged viewers to text Color of Change, an organization that provides online actions and in-person events for people to stand up to racial injustice.
17. Bank of America pledged $1 billion over four years to help communities across the country address economic and racial inequality and said the commitment will include programs such as virus testing and other health services, especially focusing on communities of color, support to minority- Bank of America pledged $1 billion over four years to help communities across the country address economic and racial inequality and said the commitment will include programs such as virus testing and other health services, especially focusing on communities of color, support to minority-owned small businesses, and partnerships with historically black and Hispanic educational institutions. Pure racial discrimination against white communities, and white-owned small businesses.
18. The Coca-Cola Foundation’s $2.5 million in grants will go to the The Equal Justice Initiative, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and National Center for Civil and Human Rights. I prefer Pepsi, anyway.
19. Activision Blizzard plans to raise more than $4 million for charities that support black Americans, as well as fight systemic race inequality in the U.S. I wonder if CEO Bobby Kotick includes Affirmative Action, as "systemic race inequality in the U.S".
20. Disney said it would donate $5 million towards nonprofit groups that advance social justice, beginning with a $2 million pledge to the NAACP.
21. The Pokemon Company said it will donate $100,000 to the NAACP, and another $100,000 to Black Lives Matter.
22. McDonald’s President Joe Erlinger said the company planned to donate $1 million to the The National Urban League and the NAACP.
23. Snapchat said President Trump’s verified account will no longer be promoted within the app after executives concluded that his tweets promoted violence. His account will remain on the platform and continue to appear on search results but he will no longer appear in the app’s Discover tab, which promotes news publishers, elected officials, celebrities, and influencers.
24. Microsoft says it's using its platform to amplify voices "from the Black and African American communities at Microsoft" and will donate $1.5 million split between Black Lives Matter, Equal Justice Initiative, Innocence Project, the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Leadership Conference for Civil and Human Rights and Minnesota Freedom Fund.
25. Uber is donating $1 million to the Equal Justice Initiative and The Center for Policing Equity, an organization that works with law enforcement to promote more equitable practices.
26. YouTube will donate $1 million to The Center for Policing Equity.
27. DoorDash is donating $1 million, with $500,000 going to Black Lives Matter and $500,000 to create a fund to be directed by the Black@DoorDash ERG towards state and local organizations. The company also pledged to create a new group called Dashers of Color Council which will advise the companies on issues facing Black Dashers including safety and access.
