Once again the corporations win. With every rainbow flag or black actor placed in an ad it increases a company's ESG rating. I doubt that there's a social issue one could raise that corporate & monied interests couldn't manipulate for their own profit.

I'll believe corporate BLM loving bullshit when I see all the white CEOs and board members replaced with people from George Floyd's zip code.

Having long ago given up on cable TV entirely, and using a strongly ad-blocked browser, I was shocked to discover, on a recent vacation (the room had regular cable), that half the population of the country is black and another quarter some clearly (if only partially) non-white heritage!

I mean, a cynic might say they almost look like landscaping/home decor accessories from a very high-end interior decoration boutique. ("Boardroom model (choice of gender) free with purchase of full "Diverse Pool Party" set. The finest diversity, curated by our staff of Reparative Decoration experts!") But who's that cynical?
Me, I'm off to get one of those hybrid "app creator/workout instructor" models, currently on sale.

I may have to re-think some things, though.
