What did you expect? It’s corporate in a nutshell. They don’t care about you, they care about your money.
It was telling how many people and companies switched their logos from all black to whatever it was before as soon as possible after midnight local time, too. What few people/organizations that still kept theirs up are either trying to suck up to protestors or are the type that virtue signal anything (which means they really stand for nothing).
I don't think the people tweeting about this even really care, it's just an easy way to get likes.
Agreed. As someone already pointed out, it seems a bit insulting to patronize a minority-owned business simply because the owner/principle is a minority. Patronize them because they do good work, offer quality merchandise, or fill a niche nobody else does. Once again the catch 22 of "Don't treat me different because I'm a minority, but patronize these businesses because they're minority-owned" shows itself.
That school is a lost cause at this point. Outside of just demolishing that building and calling it a loss, what CAN you really do to rectify that? That is NOT a culture, it's a virus that needs to be contained, eradicated, and eliminated for the better.
Sad part is that the whole idea of African-Americans having zero respect for authority is "in their culture" is absolute hogwash.
In my greater region, there's a private school that opened up some time ago in a minority neighborhood that's largely African-American and Latin-American with a small scattering of Asian-Americans. The school has a program where students work 2-3 hours a day after school to both gain job skills and help defray tuition costs.
Even though many of the students come from impoverished, underprivileged families, the school expects them to conduct themselves civilly and they largely do so. Students are happy to help visitors unfamiliar with the location of the main office or gym and respond appropriately when thanked for their help. Further, this school has a placement rate in the high nineties percentage-wise of students moving on to some form of higher education whether trade school, junior college, or a four-year school.
If kids are told and taught that they are to conduct themselves respectfully, they tend to do it -- especially if there are consequences for poor conduct that are supported at home. At the public schools described in these posts where administrators chose the path of least resistance and dismiss poor behavior as part of African-American culture, it's no surprise that the student body behaves as poorly as possible knowing full well there will be no consequences either at school or at home.
