The corporate response to a wave of protests over the treatment of African Americans has included pledges to increase diversity, donations to civil rights groups and, in some cases, changes in policies or practices long sought by critics. Here is a sampling:

Walmart Inc said on June 10 it would no longer keep"multicultural hair and beauty products" in locked display cases at any of its stores. Critics had said doing so suggested consumers of those products are more likely to shoplift. Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter Inc and Square Inc, announced on June 9 that June 19, or Juneteenth, would become a paid company-wide holiday every year for employees of both companies. The date commemorates the June 19, 1865 reading in Texas of President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Declaration, which brought an end to slavery in the United States.

HBO said on June 9 it would pull from its HBO Max streaming service the Oscar-winning 1939 film"Gone with the Wind," long decried for its racist depictions of blacks in the antebellum South.

Getting extra insurance against property damage in Democrat-run cities?

Commercial pandering ?

moving its locations to conservative cities

hiring private security

Probably upping their PR budgets, otherwise not much?

Oh-My-God-OmniabsoluteGravitational-Constant: Thus the most important change start with 🇺🇸US/Americans. Metamorphosize inspirit commend USA's🇺🇸 {Second Coming of Jesus Christ's ultimate & complete Consummation}. And all is well and satisfied on Earth until ETERNITY 🌍👁️👄👁️💰🆗

Are they disassociating with all Democrats that have controlled these blighted cities for 5 decades?

Stick to the line 'all equal' and it diffuses all underlined frustrations. Works for me.

Nothing... people stay the same

Lol what?

I heard from MarkDice, that Snickers might apologize for culturally appropriating the color brown in their chocolate and wrappers and may consider reparations for their racist marketing.
