Ben & Jerry's CEO Matthew McCarthy said corporate leaders must be more courageous and ambitious as they set goals to advance racial equity. And, he said, customers and employees should make sure they follow through.," he said "business should be held accountable to setting very specific targets, specifically around dismantling white supremacy in and through our organizations.
"In businesses, in a lot of ways, you treasure what you measure. You measure what you treasure," he said "If you don't put goals around these things, they simply don't happen." -owned Ben & Jerry's is one of many well-known brands and companies that have put out statements mourning Floyd and calling for racial equality as protests continue. Its statement, however, was longer and sharply worded. It laid out four major policy proposals, including the creation of a national task force to draft bipartisan legislation to stop race-based violence and check the power of police.
This guy is a jerk
This is true and many CEOs of large companies completely ignore the issue even when it's reported to them, while making speeches that they won't stand for racism ans abuse. CEOs should be called out in the media now.
Ben and Jerry’s taste awful now days...
I'm all for equal opportunity employment but please list one documented law that would be systemic racism? Not saying people don't discriminate but where is the one law which discriminates. I'll give one that protects from systemic... Equal Opportunity Act of 1972.
Only in the minds of Progressives 😎
In slave times there were less than 100 people that owned 90% of the slaves. They lost everything while supporting the civil war. Whoever got ownership of the land, should be paying some reparations. Most men on the south's side never owned a slave.
Ben and Jerry’s ice cream is the worst kinda like their company. I could careless what the CEO has to say.
I think McCarthy should resign immediately and put a black person as CEO. If he doesn’t he isn’t serious
What are his top 3 examples of systemic racism?
Let’s flashback to when benandjerrys thought it was a good idea to create a “resist” flavor with anti-Semite Jew hater Linda Sarsour as their spokesperson. That’s didn’t go to well. Make ice cream, stay out of politics. I haven’t eaten your shit since then.
Systemic structural institutional racism snake oil 50 bucks a pop!
Someone go look up the word 'systemic', Ben and Jerry's. If you believe what you purport, you are also guilty. Ergo, you may GTFOH with your moral grandstanding. Congrats on looking like an ass for using token liberal phrases not backed up with objective reality or facts.
Says the hippie from Vermont
Can you name the policies currently on the books that are systemically racist and how they are specifically harmful to blacks? I also wonder why that racism didn't stop Obama from getting elected twice. Hmmmmmm LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
There’s a few good companies out there
No there isnt systemic racism. The media sells bullshit and dumb people buy it. Will see what happens in november. What a joke. Black billionares, celebs, athletes, oh a potus plus affirmitive action and less black people killed then white by cops. Tell me again whats problem

Maybe you should have asked why Ben & Jerry’s wants to support an Anti-Semitic organization?
