Corporate America fully joined in this Marx-inspired nonsense decades ago when it started pushing diversity.

Dear God, I hope they all go bankrupt.

I am amazed and disappointed that everyone from Starbucks to my credit card supplier to the NFL feel the need to issue saccharin slogans about supporting “black lives” and reacting to riots.

Corporations employing racial politics as a marketing tool is about as filthy and low as you can go.

Corporate America’s Strategy Of Mob Appeasement Will Destroy it, Just As It Always Has

Why do we continue to get articles like this? Corporate America has not been destroyed by anything. Hell, they are in the driver’s seat.

“Corporate America” has been a fascist monolith for more than a century.

Anyone aware of a site where the names of the Corporations and individuals who have contributed to these subversive organizations are clearly listed? First rule in an argument or conflict: Know well your enemy.

Corporate America is poison. They are designing and manufacturing the noose for America.

[Thommas]

So true. And so sad.

A state chartered corporation is a legal entity that serves to further the interest of the state. Originally grants of coronation were a a charter for the sovereign. Corporations are tools of the state so it should be no surprise when they tow the state line.

Bank of America has announced ONE BILLION to "fight the cause". We called our stock broker at Merrill Lynch, B ofA owns them now and said wtf, really a billion to BLM?

He read us the CEO's press release, he did not say specifically BLM, but he did say social justice causes. Our broker said if it gets too weird, his group within ML can go to another brokerage, he suggested Morgan Stanley, it is run similar to Merrill Lynch, lol.

Chick-fil-A is not conservative anymore. They caved int and walked away from Salvation Army and Fellowship of Christian Athletes to support a safe house for runaways started by a homo priest. And the kids make the rules. Haven’t been there since last November.

A state chartered corporation is a legal entity that serves to further the interest of the state.

No offense, but this is a crock of sh!t.

A state-chartered corporation simply establishes the jurisdiction under which the company operates. You can have a state-chartered corporation that is dedicated to the overthrow of the state government, if you'd like.

Hobby Lobby has been successful in challenging provisions of ObamaCare because its bylaws are crafted in a way that is absolutely at odds with "the state" in many respects.

They may not know what has happened to them, but they are no longer free businesses , they have become slaves, and it will only get worse.

I was working for a major oil company once as a contractor and they were under fire big time for drilling in some 3rd world hell-hole known for egregious human rights violations. They sent out a copy of their marketing reply to the accusations to all staff, basically a very weak submissive type of reply but they were going to keep drilling there.

Rather than telling them that their reply was weak, I replied back telling them: well done, you cannot influence the game if you abandon the playing field. Staying there, setting an example by paying the foreign nationals they hired there well and treating all with respect, they would help to change the paradigm.

Someone in their marketing dept saw that and 2 weeks later they had turned my 3 line email into a 500 word essay, half-page add in the WSJ using that logic, and it worked. The media attacks stopped.

You’ll never satisfy The Mob because their demands will keep increasing. They’re drunk on power and having too much fun making Corporate America kowtow.

I have modified Kipling's poem, for a parody which reflects the situation the progressives have placed us in:

Paying Progressive Dane-Geld

It is always a temptation to an entitled population
To call upon a neighbour and to say: —
“We rioted last night—we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”

And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ‘em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!

It is always a temptation,  with Orwellian dictation,
To puff and look important and to say: —
“You are oppressed. White men caused this mess.
We will pay you public cash to go away.”

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

It is wrong to put temptation to a youthful population,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: —

“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!”

We have been paying Dane-Geld to progressive ideologists and cultural Marxists  for more than 50 years. The cost has been in the trillions. The damage done to our society, moral and Constitutional norms, is incalculable.  It must be stopped, before our nation is lost. We came very close to losing the nation.

Now, with the election of President Trump, who refuses to play the game, we have a chance to stop paying the Dane-Geld. The leftist run cities and states who have been using other peoples money to buy votes for 50 years, will insist the best thing to do, is to ramp up the Dane-Geld payments.
