Don Lemon nails it. If you want to fix things, first start by pulling up your pants. This started in prisons where rape is a common occurrence. It evolved into something cool. Don’t believe me, watch the CNN video of Don.

The other 4 reasons. All about personal responsibility.

The customer. So if they're not concerned about damaging the goodwill of fare paying passengers insulted by protest flair adorned, uniform staff, what are they up to? Might it have something to do with securing the kind of cash required to sustain this behemoth and service its debt? What opens that Rio Grande size valve? Who's hands on the crank, who must they, in turn, be attempting to appease? Hearing aid batteries in the GSW skybox didn't all just go deader than Kelsey's nuts. It's what these boys do for a living.

I watched an interview recently with a former game member. He said the black community (it applies to any community) values being cool too much.
Frankly, when I was younger I valued this too much and it got me into trouble. Trying to be cool or look cool depending on what you perceive to be cool is a dangerous thing. If you value the traits in a given music genre as being cool... You can get yourself into some serious trouble. I managed to escape that attitude without getting into serious trouble.
The fellow in the interview escaped it, but I'm pretty sure it was nearly his own death that woke him up.

​​​​​​Young people in general just want to be cool. It's a bad idea.

You’re saying the pockets of the BLM movement are going to fund AA?

Look deeper. Ways & Means, who are they pandering to and why?

Who knows. None of what goes on in this world makes sense anymore.

I knew this issue would snowball out of control when Dougie poo went out of his way to get press from reading white fragility in front of a black FA.

This has more to do with the gone crazy cancel culture than anything. Corporations are terrified of bad press and will jump through countless hoops to disprove any accusation. AA knows exactly what BLM is, but they are afraid of being called a racist company and are jumping through their hoops instead of standing their ground. Silence is violence, and all of that BS
