Is that ever true. I got an email last night from Goldman Sachs telling me "Black Lives Matter."

My reactions were:

1) they don't matter in Chicago apparently.

2) donate some of your money instead of virtue signaling to your customers.

:ohdear:

That only happens, when the original blue post on the tan background (which I often use for links)...is quoted and shows up with the green background.

Since it is obviously a quote from an actual post, one only has to scroll upward...to find the original link (on the tan background).
:shrug:

You just won't see it in the news.

Ummm, this is no "myth." :oops:

There's also no myth involved, from the comments I've personally heard...from neighbors and golfers I've played with.

Of which, is not meant to say that they represent the vast majority, however it happens often enough to prove...that it's certainly NOT just a "myth."

This corporate give away to BLM is just gross. They are just afraid of the twitter verse of pajama boys attacking them. Really sickening.

Changes yes, for the better???????

So the proof of rampant racism is an article about a few Police in Fruitland who were KKK members and then got fired, plus some comments you heard on the golf course?

From the article: it's exceedingly unusual these days to find a police officer who is secretly a Klansman," said Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups.

Exceedingly unusual is the opposite of rampant. Most don't judge their world by comments on the golf course.

Something to look into if you are concerned about racism. Blacks die by homicide at 8 times the rate of whites, not by Police, not by whites, but by blacks. Thousands of them every year. Last year cops killed 9 unarmed blacks, some of them were shot by black cops.

Looking in the wrong places will not solve the problem.

I don't even try, not worth reading anyway.

I thought Jesse Jackson already shook down these companies in the 70's and if they didn't pay up they would boycott and demonstrate against these companies.

That is proof of racism. The claim was of rampant racism.
rampant definition: profusely widespread
I don't think that incident is proof of rampant.
