So many corporations, companies, conglomerates are coming out "against racism" (which doesn't actually say or mean anything) because it's ECONOMICALLY necessary for them to do so in this moment. #BlackLivesMatter #TaxTheRich #AbolishPolice cnbc.com/2020/06/05/nfl…

This is to the credit of organizers and those in the streets, NOT to the credit of said corporations, companies, conglomerates. If we fail to keep up the pressure, I promise you they will all slink back into their bejeweled holes. #BlackLivesMatter #TaxTheRich #TaxTheRich

If saying #BlackLivesMatter is helping you sell more tickets/pairs of shoes/downloads/pints of ice cream, you're not saying it with Black lives in mind. #TaxTheRich #AbolishPolice

Amazon, Ben & Jerry's, the NFL, Nordstrom, Nike, can condemn racism as much as they want to the week that everyone else is doing the same. #BlackLivesMatter #AbolishPolice #TaxTheRich

I'm much more interested in them paying their taxes--better yet, #REPARATIONS--redistributing their wealth to the communities they looted/are looting as we speak. THAT'S a statement against racism. Anything less is PR, and it bolsters their power, not ours. #BlackLivesMatter

They are clamoring to convince us that they are part of the movement, because they already know capitalism and Black life can't coexist. They already know a world without racism is a world where they, too, cease to exist. #BlackLivesMatter #AbolishCapitalism
