An increasing number of firms across industries are donating to anti-racism efforts as protests continue following the death of unarmed black man George Floyd.

A number of companies have released statements pledging support to the black community. Amazon, Spotify, Snap, Netflix, Microsoft, Zillow and Disney are some of the corporations to speak out. But there have been calls by some online for companies to specify exactly how they are supporting the black community, while others are pointing out a perceived double standard in firms’ actions.

After Amazon tweeted: “Together we stand in solidarity with the Black community,” the American Civil Liberties Union responded: “Will you commit to stop selling face recognition surveillance technology that supercharges police abuse?”The NFL was also criticised by filmmaker Ava Duvernay for being “hollow + disingenuous.” Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has not found work in the league since 2017, after he would protest police brutality and the racist treatment of black people in the U.S.

Amazing how these wealthy companies always cough up money to show they support the cause. Perhaps if they had used this money to pay better wages to their workers we wouldn’t be in such chaos as we are today.

Do you know what impacts the vulnerable more than making corporate donations? Actually getting involved, getting your hands dirty, in social issues. Look at Slack for an excellent example. slack

Someone stubbornly throws up a network of mounted video fakes where black kills white and vice versa. Police beat protesters for nothing and all that. And when I write them comments for them that they would first check the video before the repost, these bots was ban me Meanwhile Facebook is operating in a way that they know fosters radicalization, because it makes them money.
