Merck chief executive Ken Frazier and Berkshire Hathaway director Kenneth Chenault were among the 72 Black executives who signed a letter released Wednesday challenging other corporate leaders to be more forceful in condemning what both said were deliberate attempts by Republicans to limit the number of Black Americans casting ballots in key states.Republicans who passed Georgia's controversial law say the measure is needed to stop illegal voting.
Georgia's Coca-Cola and Home Depot face boycott calls for not being more forceful in condemning Republican lawmakers in the companies' home state for supporting bills that critics say are designed to limit Black voter turnout under the guise of combating voter fraud. Former Trump administration attorney general William Barr and other GOP leaders have concluded that widespread voter fraud doesn't exist.
Give an example please on how Blacks will be limited on their voting? Example please! Constant just parroting of other peoples words is non informative.
After seeing how BrianKempGA marcorubio and others are attacking CocaCola & Delta etc for standing up for voting rights, maybe these company’s need to leave states like Georgia. The people being harmed by gop can follow the jobs & leave racist GQP Republicans in isolation.
How so? Every democracy you have to register to vote. Nothing wrong with having a voter iD. How does it limit anyone who is not a citizen?
Cash a check? Show ID Start a job? Show ID Get a passport? Show ID Rent a hotel? Show ID Enter a federal bldg? Show ID Fly on a plane? Show ID Guess there's a lot more racism to fight.
Republicans got more black voters for Trump then any President so why would they want to suppress the black vote. A smart black would know better than to vote Democratic because they keep blacks poor and dependent for decades.
RIDICULOUS
Race baiting
How many of these companies require ID before they hire an employee, probably all of them. So requiring ID is racist if anyone is required to show ID for anything, lol.
Fuck all 72 of em
Why is it discrimination just for asking that each voter provides ID? Every adult should have an ID on them at all times. You need an ID to buy alcohol, get a license to drive, open a bank account, get a vaccine, etc....
Good stuff 👍. CNN and Foxnews are still the worst problem facing the next generation.
B/c Georgia voted for an ID when casting a vote? Ludicrous
Where is the outrage for ID for other things? Hypocrites one and all.
I just bought Day Quil formy wife whohas a cold. Is that company, or Walllgreens, NY state racist for making me do that?
broken buck ngrds...time to cut of Albekulan commodities
Sadly ... why aren’t more whites outraged
Where do these black executives live? In black areas? I doubt it. Maybe they should be doing more to help the poor oppressed black man.
Do they get reparations or pay into reparations
Simply read . 72 disgruntled democrats having realized that their rigging tricks have been discovered, coming together to fight against common sense election rules that allow illegibly voters cast their votes with iDs
Why do they think it limits blacks? They don’t drive? They can’t decide who to vote for without help?
a sure sign of low intelligence on their parts. all they have to do is read. it's just that basic.

Such bullshit
please explain what 'voter suppression' is other than concern over 'lack of water'?Is requiring voting in person when U are physically able to?Is requiring picture ID suppression?Do we need more voting stations?How do they do it in England/Canada/Germany/Other Dem Countries?
Well that's bull. Why don't they get together and do something about how racist black people are. They hide behind the 'N' word that they sell in every song,use in conversation all the time and try to say it has the same meaning. No it doesn't. Beat their dogs on line call it N
What does skin color have anything to do with IDs and not bribing people in line Campaigns shouldn’t be talking to people who are waiting in line at polling places That’s sketchy why do you want that to be allowed
Why would Black executives be concerned about the bill? Wouldn’t be the misinformation campaign would it
To tell a persons gender at birth just look between the legs morons...
Y’all giving tiger, Jordan, and James a pass. There your biggest CEO’s
Didn’t Blm bring in millions of not billions? Lebran James & FB donated 500M each to help make it easier. Where’s all this money going if not to help get rides or whatever it takes? It could pay for any that cant afford ID & blame Biden for gas prices going up so much already. 🤷♂️
Explain how. Blacks aren’t able to get ID’s? The Democrat run areas can’t run efficient voting procedures?
Bullshit !!!
sigh forever the victims race card = power without it they'd have to admit that the shortcomings aren't the faults of others, which is too convenient to give up
These guys are not that special that they make everything about themselves.. a former first lady even said that people cutting lines are racist.. so f***ing dumb.
I wonder - have they themselves read the laws passed or proposed, like Voter ID requirements, or are they listening to the liberal media's distorted, selective reporting? They should read for themselves to make an informed decision.
No one is oppressed there baiter they should look into the history of who has suppressed votes it’s not the Republicans 🐑

Signing a letter is a start. Tell those other corporate leaders what “being more forceful” actually looks like.
This is tough to understand. Drive license offices are clumsy but is not like you are getting service from the Venezuela government
They represent the oppressed black people, smh 🙄
That's racist
It's called fair elections and more states will be passing the same laws.
