Corporate Diversity Skates the Legal Line in a ‘Mea Culpa’ Age

These days, big business is no longer focused on its business. Instead, in the wake of last year’s racial unrest, corporate powerhouses seem more concerned with providing public mea culpas on their historic failure to be sufficiently “woke.”

The Black Lives Matter’s Global Network Foundation recently released its 2020 financials, along with a report identifying future efforts. The report states: “We are now an organization that intervenes on philanthropy, which is typically an anti-Black space full of bureaucratic hoops of white supremacy.” 

So perhaps the American Red Cross might want to evaluate its staff. Or at the very least, write a nice big check to Black Lives Matter.
