It's just recently that a younger generation less prejudiced than their elders and outrage by those people/companies/organizations who heretofore just stood on the sidelines...have had their eyes opened by recent events.

You know, sometimes I think people are just throwing the baby out with the bath water. It appears to me that the young people, now that they don't go to church any more are trying to start a new religion with rules and standards of their own mostly to do with what things are called. I wait to see what is next weeks word of derision toward the ordinary folks. I have heard so much about Virtue signaling and systemic racism recently.

Most of us really do not want to offend anyone, but I think also most of us are tired of being criticized when we have done nothing wrong. What do the young people who write the opinion for the MSM want from us? This forum consists of probably better than 99% law abiding people. We don't harm people. We don't steal from them. We pay our bills. We don't buy what we can't afford. I am really tired of hearing we are the bad guys.
