re: California lawmakers want corporations to disclose ties to slavery

So this isn’t even about modern day slave labor that some of these corporations use?

Dems of the board, how the hell do y’all put up with these assholes? At least hold them somewhat accountable. I know y’all want to get shite down, end homelessness, etc. The Dems are just stealing our money. Why do y’all put up with it? Get some mfers in there who want to actually accomplish the shite y’all are for.

California turned in to such a shite hole. I wonder if they’re bitching about the gas prices going up two cents?

The OP specifically listed insurance, banking, and railroads.

Nike be like....

I feel like any company that was around in 1865 that is still around today would be making over 100 mil in revenue. To last thay long, 100 mil in revenue is really not that much.

Just off the top of my head JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, DuPont, Proctor and Gamble. There has to be more low hanging fruit I missed.

Yes, by all means.. All of these silicon valley companies and other high tech companies that have only been around for the last 20-30 years MUST pay reparations to California for their ties to slavery that happened 170 years ago.

That could be a massive list with all the banks, insurers, textile manufacturers, shipping companies, merchants, railroads and exporters that were involved. Most of them were probably absorbed by companies still active today.

Does this include shows that broadcast in California, like The View? Will The View be required to disclose Sunny Hostin’s connections to slavery?

Sunny Hostin's family was involved in the slave trade in colonial Spain and owned at least one enslaved person. Additionally, multiple generations on both sides of her family had links to slavery, reflecting a broader historical context of her lineage.
