Facebook Inc and Snap Inc became the latest U.S. companies condemning racial inequality in the United States as violent protests flared up across major cities over the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died while in police custody in Minneapolis last week.

“We stand with the Black community - and all those working towards justice in honor of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and far too many others whose names will not be forgotten,” Facebook’s Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post late Sunday. The arrest of Floyd, 46, was captured by an onlooker’s cell phone video that went viral and showed a police officer restraining him while pressing his knee on Floyd’s neck as he moaned: “Please, I can’t breathe.”

“I am heartbroken and enraged by the treatment of black people and people of color in America,” Snapchat Chief Executive Officer Evan Spiegel said in an internal memo.On Friday, Nike flipped its iconic slogan to raise awareness about racism.

Shut up brands

I don't trust FB

not too much to worry .. I took the command with all soldiers .. so they are not under political domination but under the privilege of the articulated providence .. i will need all these navy ships and cruisers to transfer students from continent to continent .. airplanes for ups

Ground breaking to condemn racism. Very brave.

Didn't Zuckerberg recently condemn Twitter for removing a trump tweet that was considered violent? You know, the one where trump stated '..when the looting starts; the shooting starts..' Sorry Facebook-- this is too little too late.

Did they condemn the looting rioting and burning innocent peoples businesses and livelihoods?

A riot in se is protest.

A bit late to the party but okay, Facebook. Beginning to trust Zuckerberg as much as the GOP about now but you could restore faith by no longer allowing 45 free rein with incendiary political ads that serve no one other than himself.

Was it actually racially motivated tho🤔

Facebook actively facilitates hate groups.

Same Companies Sucking Chinese A**,Any Statement Regarding Xinjiang/Hongkong/Vietnam,No? Uncle Xi Giving $s?

President Bunker's supporters disagree. :-)

Ironic. They condemn that which they accept payment from anyone to condone. Fuck these hypocritical corporations!

All Trumps fault

Is there a maximum height for skyscrapers? The answer.

Too bad no company will condemn looting, destroying, burning, attacking police and people defending their businesses...

komonews uninstall facebook

Don't lower your standards by citing these pathetic companies with no duty of care to be seen, please.

Condemn the rioters, the looting, and the destruction. Condemn the radical Left.

How about condemning the Antifa terrorist for spearheading the looting & burning of both private & govt properties, will they also condemnt it?

Screw the tech and social media assholes. And in fact screw you.

Southern trees bearing strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the roots Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees

Nobody in this country that saw what happened to George Floyd was sick to their stomach. This is not a 3rd world country without laws. This is the United States. Nothing can bring this man back but riots and burning down America is WRONG.

Facebook, the Greatest Hypocrite.

Facebook has a hand in the nationalist movements around the world. Facebook has helped radicalize people around the world.

What's their employment records broken down by race, job title and salary?

Well done twiter & snapshat..!! 👍👍

Facebook has zero credibility as they bow to the demands of DOPUS.

Edgy. EVERY HUMAN BEING ON THE PLANET DOES TOO

How about condemning the people do the senseless looting and rioting as well! Blacks in this country have the best opportunities in the world but you don’t see them rioting in other countries. Watch TV 60% of most programs are black. The percentage of blacks in US is 13%!

FuckZucc DeleteFacebook

Now the same companies should join forces to stop Antifa and other terrorists organizations from spreading violence in America.

So it took a week to figure out they want to say something

Rings hollow when Facebook still supports Trump.

Useless gimmick if no real steps are taken to curb hate speech on social media.

But they are still ok with Palestinian women and children being executed in the other zionist state.......

Let’s see who’s saying it and which ones are supporting the GOP please write that article today so the truth can come out.

Facebook can fuck all the way off.

Meanwhile Facebook is operating in a way that they know fosters radicalization, because it makes them money. Their protestations are hollow.

Uh-Oh.... They better be careful or they may get on Trump's naughty list....

Thank god I was waiting to find out what snapchat thought

Boycott Autocratic CCP/ Xin Jinping & China for 3,74,451 innocent Citizens & Thousands unrecorded Chinese People's Deaths & Chinese Wuhan Viruse. Hong Kong , Taiwan, Tibbet and Uygur are free Nations.

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
