    Obviously they were trying to get in front of the tidal wave. No one wants to be called a racist. Will they be bidding on the rope to hang themselves:

    The World Bank found that sub-Saharan African countries lost out from trade. That necessarily reflects Western exploitation of resource. Will they widen their scope and their sorry?

    Pandering. Fear. Social Media Justice Warriors.

    It’s race base division to bring about racial unity. What could go wrong?

    How did ignoring 'race base division' go for encouraging racial unity?

    I’m pretty sure corporate America doesn’t give a flying **** about race, nor should they. They just don’t want their stores burned down or their products boycotted. So they bend over kiss the ass of black racists.

    Perhaps Apartheid South Africa is a poster child for right wing Americans?

    I’ve never once even looked at stormfront. Why, you find something offensive?

    Driving white people out of South Africa and wrecking its economy is certainly a poster child for the left.

    Stormfront-esque comments just come naturally? Fair enough. BLM has shown just how severe racism is in the US.

    Are you going to go full Stormfront here and refer to Mandela as a terrorist and refer to just how grand apartheid was?

    Calling anti-racists racist is standard fascist trope.

    What part? It’s clear corporate pandering. It’s easy to spot because it occurred after the riots and protest.

    How is BLM anti racist? I support equality of all races, with equal opportunity for all. I don’t support tying the hands of police officers, or allowing our cities to be burned down in riots. What do you support?

    You're playing ignorance now? You stated "driving white people out of South Africa and wrecking its economy is certainly a poster child for the left". First, white people haven't been driven out. Second, the South African economy was actually crippled by apartheid. Racism was always its biggest nemesis. Why aren't you referring to that?

    BLM supports equality. You're deliberately fibbing about their nature to spread a fascist trope.

    If you want to divide the races then you are a racist.
    Does not matter how you want that division to occur.

    Black juries for black defendants
    Black doctors for blacks
    A black national anthem

    Demands or plans all coming out the last 4 weeks or so. What is not racist about any of them?

    They left that path when they lost control of their movement.

    So no land is being seized from white farmers? No ongoing plans for this?

    BLM wouldn't exist if the races weren't divided. Have a word with yourself. I continue to be appalled at how this forum allows fascist tropes to go unchallenged.
