ETSY wrote me a letter to tell me white people are racist and holdin the black man down
To the Etsy Community,

The past days and weeks have, once again, shone a spotlight on the tremendous injustices in our society. We stand in solidarity with our employees and communities who are voicing their anguish, anger, and deep frustration with systems that oppress and devalue Black lives.

We stand against police brutality in all forms.
We stand against a criminal justice system that disproportionately targets Black Americans.
We stand against the widespread disenfranchisement of Black and Brown communities whose voices are silenced at the polls.

We can't fight for small businesses, if we don't also fight for the empowerment of Black business owners.

Black Lives Matter is the civil rights movement of our time, because it addresses a fundamental inequality in our society: that Black lives are too often undervalued. This notion inspired Etsy's own internal commitments from diversity and inclusion to economic empowerment.

Etsy is built on a belief that communities have the power to change the status quo. Change is hard-fought, and we are committed to this fight.

I got the same letter - but mine was asking for donations as well.

"We also believe that it’s critical to provide support to organizations working tirelessly for criminal justice reform and those that assist Black-led institutions. That’s why today we are announcing donations of $500,000 to the Equal Justice Initiative and $500,000 to Borealis Philanthropy’s Black-Led Movement Fund, as well as matching employee donations. We encourage our community to join us in supporting these important organizations."

So, they're going to move their HQ to Chicago and gainfully employ dozens of natives looking to improve their lives?

NO?

Then they should just fuck off and leave politics out of their business plan

Yea I got that too, I left it out.


It's Incredible, they seem to only care about 'black people's' businesses and problems. They don't seem to want my business, or care about my problems, so fuck them.

They can't show how 'black people's' small businesses are being fucked over any more than white people, so they make the false claim 'it's institutional' implying that all white people are just racist.

The virtue signaling from these corporate elitists is Grade 10 Bullshit.

I got something similar from BestBuy.

They said they were going to keep doing buisness in the neighborhoods in which there stores got looted.

I thought, "not for long. After the second or third burning or looting, you'll pull out."

Virtue signaling. Nothing more.

I buy and sell on Ebay quite a bit. I get a couple emails from them per day usually. I don't remember receiving anything similar over the last several days. If they did send something out it must have been pretty innocuous, because I am easily annoyed by pandering and/or virtue signaling.
