Amazon.comās Whole Foods Market doesnāt want to be forced to let workers wear āBlack Lives Matterā masks and is pointing to the recent US Supreme Court ruling permitting a business owner to refuse services to same-sex couples to get federal regulators to back off.
National Labor Relations Board prosecutors have accused the grocer of stifling worker rights by banning staff from wearing BLM masks or pins on the job. The company countered in a filing that its own rights are being violated if itās forced to allow BLM slogans to be worn with Whole Foods uniforms.
Amazon is the most prominent company to use the high courtās June ruling that a Christian web designer was free to refuse to design sites for gay weddings, saying the case āprovides a clear roadmapā to throw out the NLRBās complaint.
The dispute is one of several in which labor board officials are considering what counts as legally-protected, work-related communication and activism on the job.
Guys is it Political to not want to get killed by the police or just get seen at the hospital when youāre having chest pains?
Interesting take you have there.
Itās political to insist that getting shot in response for attacking the police is just ābecause youāre blackā.

BLM is a brand though. The lady who founded it just bought a Ā£1.25M house in LAās exclusive Topanga neighbourhood for all cash.
That doesnāt sound like some sort of grass roots, help lift people up, Mother Teresa sort of organisation to me.
Hence yeah, people donāt like BLM. Some donāt like what it stands for, while others, like me, donāt like it because the founders used it as a massive vehicle for grifting and lining their own pockets.
The idea behind Black Lives Matter is not a brand, though. People who support the cause are simply supporting equity and progress. These fundamentals donāt change just because one person affiliated with the marketing of the idea may be questionable.
There are multiple segments to BLM, since the fight for progress takes multiple fronts. And indeed, the head of Black Lives Matter Greater New York City, which is not affiliated with Khan-Cullorsā Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, called for āan independent investigationā to find out how the global network spends its money.
And it turns out that the reason Patrice, the woman buying homes youāre referencing in bad faith, acquired some personal wealth from having a best selling book from back in 2018, and a television deal to produce content with Warner Bros.
Iām sure her earning wealth through program advocacy and people reading stuff wonāt change anything about how you feel about them, though.

Thereās a bunch of different autonomous groups, with no one āfounder.ā This has always been the single talking point that the fox news crowd loves to parrot to sound like a āgotchaā when they want to be racist but are too cowardly to show who they really are. If thatās not obvious by now, then idk what to tell you, except that arguing against human rights and for police brutality is not going to endear you to people.

Noā¦ Thereās a proper 501-C that exists. So yes, there is a founder. While a lot of the marches are not necessarily associated directly with the organization, a lot of the donations get pooled into the organization. They make plenty of money doing it too.
Edit: Thereās also orgs likeā¦
As well associated with people like Khan-Cullors (https://nypost.com/2021/04/10/inside-blm-co-founder-patrisse-khan-cullors-real-estate-buying-binge/)
