No wrongs here.

Bullshit, you can’t deny someones fundamental rights to free speech and thought, which is exactly what you are saying.

I know they aren’t. That’s why I say they sure as heck can let me know what they’re doing to fight systemic racism. Implicit behind that is the hint that, you know, they can even do more.

Again, it’s a start.

It absolutely should be right and proper for people not to engage in an issue if they don’t want to and absolutely fair for corporate entities not to take any political stance.

So your take is that there aren’t any black people good enough for this ?

I never said you said they should be mostly white.

Like, do I care what the Dallas chapter of the Auto Bodies Association of Texas has to say about black lives?

For every random association, business and NGO that exists in America on the other hand?

And in that situation, the disjunction between what such a craven company says early on and what they do would soon become apparent.

Indeed, they don’t have to.

No, that’s not it. What a company does in their everyday operations matters. So does what they say in the face of systemic injustice. If a company were otherwise exploitative in function, a single statement wouldn’t save them.

Do black people not play games?

Personally, I think that opposing murder and brutality is a pretty basic thing to come out to say, and someone’s silence in the face of murder and brutality suggests a lot about their relative priorities, e.g. they’re unwilling to stand up against a status quo of murder and brutality.

I didn’t read the article.

There are two weaknesses to this approach:

I don’t know about most of them either way.

Yikes.

This was so much easier when media were still physical. When my fiancee broke up with me a decade ago, she typically got her books and games, and I got mine. She owed me a bit of money, so I got some of the furniture.

That’s shitty, because it means that, in an abusive situation or a situation where one partner doesn’t contribute much, the person who dumps has to weigh the value of their property and games against their personal well-being.
