Corporations are too spineless to say America is not racist

Corporate giants have been falling all over themselves to express support for the Black Lives Matter movement and contrition for systemic racism and white privilege.

Since the death of George Floyd, the nation has been convulsed by mass protests and riots. Anger at police brutality has galvanized nationwide calls for the institutional reform of law enforcement. At the same time, lawlessness has raged and has been widely condoned. As political leaders struggle for the right response to this national crisis, corporate America has been busy virtue signaling. In the process, it has demonstrated its spinelessness in abundance.
