Apple might try to introduce stuff that will get me back to the store.

They’ll open more stores in inner cities that can be looted and product redistributed.

This is looking like the months after the summer of 1967 when marketing/movies/everything shifted to appealing to the hippie generation.

If Apple wants to help blacks (and perhaps other minorities), then, he could give them a big advantage by lowering the prices for Apple gear by, hmmm.... perhaps 50%?

Using money to help a particular group of people, or a particular race, is racist. But, since it’s a leftist organization/leftist-supporter doing the racist thing, it’s not being recognized as racist by the left-wing/democrat-owned-and-controlled media. Democrats aren’t racist, since they own (just like they did in America’s past) the black folks.

It’s both, ironic and hypocritical, that the party that was the most racist in the past, are the ones claiming to be on the side of those slaves descendants.

I work for a major tech company but not Apple. It rhymes with hell. Anyway the CEO recently gave a sanctimonious video sermon on the systemic racism in our country (there is none unless its against whites) and had a couple of female black presenters that provided among other things slide show of all the high profile blacks that lost their lives to whites (some justified) and nothing the other way around. It was just a sickening talking down to of all whites in the company and the CEO said that action must be taken. Maybe he is going to give them more of the company’s money. There will be no redress untile whitey is penniless, homeless and ultimately dead.

I love how the lefties/liberals/Democrats/Socialists/Marxists think that spending money on the human condition (fallen and sinful) is going to change it. There is only one solution - faith in Jesus Christ - but they reject Him. They never, ever learn.

Yep - and that is just a stopping point on the way to $20B, $30B, $40B, ad infinitum. Because these people will never, ever be satisfied. They are petulant children and should be treated as such. But the Democrats in charge of the anarchy cities (I live near Seattle) are like horrible parents: “I will try to give you whatever you want, wonderful child.”

Not enough money. Apple should give *ALL* their money to black people. They should also step aside and let black people take their jobs.

To do anything else is just racist.

He should step down and give his position to a black person. Preferably a transgender female.

If he does not give up his money, he is a racist! He needs to be told to give up his money!

A whole lot of that money is going to be devoted to people like Al Sharpton to stir up the bees.

Make the revolution eat the stupid bastards who feed it. Make the enemy live up to his own book of rules.

Apple needs to give *EVERYTHING* to black people. They need to step aside and let black people have their jobs. If they do not do this, they are racists.

We need to get all the liberal companies to live up to their own principles. We need to unleash this endlessly hungry beast on them.

In other words Apple will spend 100 mil to discriminate based on race. Im pretty sure thats illegal. If your recruitment is targeting blacks you are discriminating against other races.

Recruiting employees from black colleges doesn’t mean that they stop recruiting from all other colleges as well.
That’s not as bad as Microsoft’s Bill Gates. He has a college scholarship fund that whites are ineligible to apply for:
Gates Millennium Scholars Program
Promoting Academic Excellence + Providing Opportunities + Reducing Financial Barriers
For 20,000 outstanding students of color.

Apple can start by making 25% of the management Black.

Hire and train Black programmers. Send home the H-1B workers. Move the headquarters to Detroit...or better, Camden, NJ.
