The donation is going to be split among several organizations. $2 million will be donated to the social justice efforts of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the National Urban League, $1 million to the company’s African American Associate Resource Group to partner with local organizations to support communities, and $1 million in a reserve fund for social justice and diversity initiatives in the future.

Another $1 million was donated to local initiatives in a specific area in the Albertsons division.

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.

Yep that’s all it is ..transfer if money to the Democratic Party.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Are they going to place signs saying “We donated $5 million to BLM causes” on their store windows to protect them from looting?

I don’t think the donations are mob repellent.

I think this is what zero meant by being encouraged by these ‘protests’ having Something different about them. Giant money laundering scheme.

If you shop, use energy, consume any financial services, use a phone, watch a show, use a computer, or eat, you are contributing money to the Democrats ....

Why doesnt Goodie Two Shoes Albert just build sell-at-cost markets in the worst parts of the worst ghettos?

$5 million or more in security and theft can go a long ways towards ‘social justice”

Donating didn’t help Wendy’s. It won’t stop the thugs from burning down Albertson’s either.

[kearnyirish2]

Just keep in mind: These “donations” are funds directly from their customers. The CUSTOMERS are involuntarily donating this.

[Huskrrrr]

I may take all my meals at Chick-fil-A and In and Out.

All while Albertson’s cuts hours and pay of it’s workforce to pre-coronavirus levels, and reduces it’s workforce.

Those who donate America, do not patronize

[ealgeone]

cfa has caved as well.

[kearnyirish2]

Great - so instead of paying workers, they’ll pay idle activists...

[Taxman]

Wait for it -

Here is yet another “woke” business that is going to go broke!
