When it comes to speaking for racial justice and equality for LGBTQ, private corporations have been much more on the side of the angels than the government.

The same government that wants to shut down Twitter.

You mean the same corporations that got bailed out by the us tax payer, had billions of dollars of fines, and should have executives in prison for misconduct. Yeah they are the ones we should look up to /s

You’ll have to excuse me if I’m a lot less concerned about white collar crime than I am about a government that systematically targets people who look like me.

But speaking of which, the government is also run by a President who actually quoted a segregationist governor about how to deal with protestors.

As far as crimes, he also was fined for both running a fake charity and a fake “university” and members of Congress basically got away with insider trading pre-Covid.

But your statement kind of demonstrates the problem. Unarmed Black people are getting killed by police and it getting covered up by corrupt government. When I have to worry about my son who has grown up all of his life in the burbs being seen as a threat because he is a big Black guy living in a predominantly White city, I really don’t give a damn about a corrupt CEO compared to a corrupt justice system.

Those private corporations are the ones buying that government.
