Walmart Pledges $100 Million to Fight ‘Systemic Racism’

[mystery-ak]

John Carney 5 Jun 2020

Walmart CEO Doug McMillon on Friday condemned “racial violence” and pledged $100 million to “address systematic racism in society head-on and accelerate change.”

In an email sent to employees, McMillon embraced the worldview of the radical left and pledge to fund its goals.

“The global health crisis has tested all of us in recent months, and the racial violence in the U.S. — in particular, the murder of George Floyd — is tragic, painful and unacceptable,” McMillon wrote in the email.

Like many companies that have recently adopted the view that America is plagued by systemic racism, Walmart is not aiming only to change itself. It has moved on to the second stage of woke corporatism, which involves attempting to reform the world according to the leftwing agenda.

From McMillon’s letter:

    To influence and lead change in society more broadly, we are going to invest resources and develop strategies to increase fairness, equity and justice in aspects of everyday life. We will find the natural overlaps between Walmart’s core business and society’s larger needs that perpetuate racism and discrimination. Specifically, we’re going to focus the power of Walmart on our nation’s financial, healthcare, education and criminal justice systems.

    In addition to leveraging our business to drive these outcomes, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation are committing $100 million over five years through a new center on racial equity. The goal of the center will be to address systematic racism in society head-on and accelerate change. Through the $100 million commitment, the center will support philanthropic initiatives that align with the four key areas noted above. The center will seek to advance economic opportunity and healthier living, including issues surrounding the social determinants of health, strengthening workforce development and related educational systems, and support criminal justice reform with an emphasis on examining barriers to opportunity faced by those exiting the system.

Rioting really works.

There was great turmoil and civil unrest in the 1960’s and 1970’s over the Vietnam war and race.

I‘m sure people don’t remember, or aren’t aware, that in 1972 alone there were 1900 bombings in America. Things were pretty bad back then.

Who would’ve thought it could get worse.

Today was a beautiful day here on the coast, some restaurants & businesses were opened, people of all types were out shopping, getting a beer, coffee, sun, etc. After three months of lockdown it was an indescribable a relief.

Turn on the TV and there is what the left brings - hate, resentment, violence, fire & destruction, totalitarianism. What a contrast.

But it pays, thanks to the Walmarts and McDonalds.

The laughable thing is after they spend x millions/billions of dollars to fight "white supremacy" and "systemic racism," nothing will change in black neighborhoods.
The shootings, killings, robberies, assaults, other violent crimes committed by blacks will go on just as before.
Because there is no WS and SR harming blacks.
Their biggest enemy is themselves.

Did Al or Jessie pay Walmart a visit?

These so-called civil rights activists are nothing more than racketeers.

Apparently, their bank accounts were getting low. Good thing (for them) the Minneapolis cops obliged.

I remember when Jackson extorted Anheuser-Busch many years ago. All he had to do was threaten to march against them for imaginary offenses, and they folded like a cheap suit to the tune of a few million bucks.

What they heck are they rioting for?  What are their demands?  What the heck is systemic racism?

Don’t worry, they’ll teach you what systemic racism is after they put you on your knees apologizing for your whiteness at the point of a gun.

Don't think it's worse at all.... what only a week or two.... I remember a lot of years of long hot summers  back then...

Could not wear uniform in places like NYC and SF without getting spit on which of course was a bad choice for the spitee...

What I mean by worse is, the president today has significant segments of businesses and government, including military leaders, supporting the resistance, undermining the president’s authority (eg. Esper). That’s worse than just opposition from some radical fringe groups. It’s much worse.

What I mean by worse is, now the president has significant parts of government, including military leaders, joining the resistance and undermining the president’s authority (eg. Esper). That’s worse than just opposition from some radical fringe groups. It’s much worse now.

It has been that way since the day Trump walked down the escalator... It is an ongoing coup de ta with our own federal government in the lead.

Jesse Jackson's shakedowns of the past make him look like a piker compared to what's goin' on today...

One person walking from Walmart may not be noticed.

But I walk away from a company blind to riots.
I presently shop there weekly. No more.
About a decade ago I owned Walmart stock.

I sold the stock before and now walk away from their ignorance.

"What the heck is systemic racism?"

It means "you have something I don't have.....gimme!"

The good news here is the various "Rev-Runds" have all GOT to be getting slightly suicidal at the thought of all this money being spread around,and they're not the ones doing the funneling and the skimming.

Sumbodie dun cut out de Rev-Runds as the middle-mens!

It's only a matter of days before the riots start. This can NOT be allowed to stand!

[sneakypete]

Here is MY proposal to all of this.

Completely eliminate the government connection to public aid,and force ALL religions with a charter to spend every nickel they take in feeding,housing,and providing clothing and medial care to the needy,with the exception of the most basic administrative costs.

After all,isn't that what they are supposed to be doing anyhow,and the reason why they were originally given the tax-free status?

Sharpton somehow wheedled his way into the free for all. I heard him spewing some barely coherent inanities at Mr Floyd’s memorial service.

Mo money,mo gold chains,mo bitches.

What are their demands?   

A white bitch is every pot,and a free Mercedes limo every year.

I walked all around in downtown San Francisco in 1965 or 66,wearing Army dress greens,jump boots,and a Green Beret,and never got bothered even once. I did have a few hippies ask me questions about the war in VN,and they ended up offering me a free place to stay with them while in town. Nice people.

They did warn me to stay away from the area where the recruitment center was because of the riots,though. They told me that was were all the political posers were,and they went there to riot,not reason.

The genuine hippies were genuinely nice people.

I used to in the 80s drive in to the outskirts of NYC from Connecticut everyday in my little Toyota pickup with a confederate flag as my front license plate.  Sometimes I went all the way to JFK as well in that truck.

Was never bothered once during the hundreds of times I made the trip.

$100 million to emphasize an idealistic differential separation of races.  $100 million to move us that much further away from a colorblind society.
