To get back on topic, what constitutes a 'white company'?  If a company is publicly traded, I expect there are stockholders of many colors.

BLM corporate donors silent on group's call to boycott 'white companies'

How ironic they are calling to boycott the very companies that fund them

If, instead of saying to boycott white companies they said to support black companies, this wouldn't be a problem for me.  Especially if they said to support black-owned small businesses.  But, for some reason, they chose to go a different direction.

It is a mystery.

 

Nobody knows.

Of course if we are talking about a supposedly "black owned" public company, would it not potentially have "white" shareholders?  I don't remember being required to disclose my race when buying stock in a public company.

 

What Makes a Business Black-Owned?

One complication with classifying the ownership of any public company is that it has stockholders. What makes a public company—or any business—Black-owned? The National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) defines a minority business enterprise (MBE) as a "business [that] is at least 51% owned by [United States citizens who are Asian, Black, Hispanic, and/or Native American] or, in the case of a publicly owned business, at least 51% of the stock is owned by one or more such individuals." Simply put, the management and daily operations should be controlled by the minority owner(s)/shareholder(s). The NMSDC further clarifies that a Black-owned business is one whose owner is a "U.S. citizen of African descent," which would include both African Americans and African immigrants.

Because it's allowed this way, but can you imagine if this was reversed and a white group boycotted black companies? They're counter productive.

MAR-A-LAGO — Hip-hop artist and fashion designer Kanye West was embroiled in controversy this week after wearing a shirt bearing the phrase "White Lives Matter" across its back.  Not to be outdone, former President Donald Trump caused a stir of his own as he made a public appearance in an "Orange Lives Matter" shirt.  [...]

You might want to consider seeing a therapist, or self-blocking the BB in your browser.
