These tech companies *create* injustice

You need more paint

don't believe a word of it.

How about the top 10 universities dedicate 10% of their endowments to fund scholarships for talented but low income students to attend their schools or the top state schools? Harvard Princeton Yale nyuniversity Stanford Columbia UniversityofP dartmouth BrownUniversity

Sick and tired of BLM IT'S ALL LIFE MATTERS , THAT IS THE MAIN PART THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND AND WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND . VERY SAD FOR EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD.

no more uber

THAT is what poor moronic coward leadership does...a TERRORIST organization takes over a city and even name streets on its 'honor'. They might as well name it Adolf Hitler Plz! There's NO difference in tactics between tha Nazis and blm/antifa. They both use TERROR tactics.

Democrats are like a divorced loser parent who whines and care most about getting the USA kids/nation to hate Trump by all means rather than having a pragmatical plan of their own for the very well-being of those so called 'Oppressed Minorities' they unashamedly exploit; Stupids.

Pandering....

Will it be enough to satisfy the mob and shaming from the media. You know do X or we'll do Y. Blackmail

Anything por latinos?

Cnbc interviews ceo after ceo asking what they will do about racism,all the while CNBC is all white,demand half the whites resign to be replaced with blacks cnbcisallwhite

🙏🌈🙏

Stop making everything a racial issue and race relations will improve. You make everything a race issue divide will grow till there is a civil war.

Why would anyone in their right mind care about what companies virtue signal?

Racist liberals street

All lives matter...no knew should be treated as Mr. Floyd🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Never vote for the race baiting Dnc

Good boycott list - thanks for assembling.

That’s because most Russians with depressed immune system’s have already succumbed to tobacco and alcohol.

Everyone is doing something cause afraid of their business. Where were all these companies for years!

Tracking American Corporate Responses to Black Lives Matter

BLM is negative ! MAGA is positive !

Boycotts won't be allow them to do much for anyone soon

Good to see which of the companies done to racist organizations so they can be disused.

Give them a better pay and a opportunity

So...BlackLivesMatter is regressing race relations. People of ALL races don’t like anything shoved down their throats. No one alive was a slave, owned a slave, and anyone alive who experienced Jim Crow knows that it was the Democrats who fought for those policies to remain.

I was violently raped by a black man on 16th and K street Nw Washington DC Aug 2017 where they wrote “BLM” The police refused to arrest him n judge refused to prosecute him. He had just recently gotten out of jail for spending over a year in jail in Va for raping a woman there.

Donations are a great first step and should not be diminished but in this list only Reddit has taken a substantive step 2. Seems like a true leader at the board level forced thier hand a bit but at least it’s a step. Where are the employee diversity commitments?

Supply shelter for the homeless by airbnb free rides to job interviews by uber or even preferred treatment as job applicants by them isn’t in either right guys? As long as it’s lip signing no consequences😉

Do these companies realize there will be pushback from only pandering to the BlackLivesMatter movement? I rented from a black owned Airbnb without thinking of their color. Now I feel turned off by the constant bombardment of being told I need to do MORE. AllLivesMatter

Build products to fight racial injustice? Where are ANY FACTS that racial injustice exists in America with any level of chronic exploitation? If you violate the law you pay the price. It isn't some sacrifice or defiance by criminals or law enforcement.

watch Fox Business or Bloomberg

Defund CNBC.

All these donations and no employment equity plans ...

Make everything free for black people

I wonder where the money goes? 🍿🍿🍿

Pandering ...

black lives matter NO MORE THE ANYONE ELSE'S LIFE

They’re doing it simply because they’re afraid of the backlash by the mob.

It's all Fake. BLM is a scam and a joke. They donate all their funds to old white Democrat candidates

All lives matter

Have any of these tech companies encouraged black to not be disproportionally criminal and violent?

I certainly trust Uber, the company behind greyball, to fight racial injustice.

🙄🤦🏻‍♂️👎😡🤬🤢🤮

Sounds like the Rainbow Coalition. Pay enough, and you have no racism problem, not enough, and we start to look at your diversity mumbers. Funny how tech is the fist to pay.

If the companies were serious they would have in house training. The school system turns out protesters. This brings money to pressure groups, but fails to provide jobs to individuals. Start STEM apprenticeships now. tt:HHSGov KellyannePolls

And therefore by exclusion - no other race or color matters. That in itself is RACIST!

Ok fair enough. If tech companies want to fight racism, they will fight to increase taxes on high income. Racism persist in unequal societies. Period. Full stop. We must TaxTheRich. BTW a personal income above $120 is rich. Period. Full stop.

Money is only part of the equation. How about employing more non whites, making sure policies are not biased, sacking racists at all levels and bringing in Jane Elliott BlibriJane for some paradigm shifting?

I guess placating this group is all one can do. We never said they didn't matter.

When you create a market for racism you get more racism.
