Opinion: Good for corporations speaking up on police violence. But change takes more than words.
Corporate support, of course, resonates far and wide. Many in the United States valorize corporations and the men who run them. This casts business leaders as moral arbiters, with loyal customers seeking out their take on matters important and minor. Meanwhile, corporations, concerned about profits, often prioritize shareholder concerns over political ones. They worry about angering fickle customers across the political spectrum. As a result, companies are frequently followers, not leaders.
While these are welcome developments, we should also consider the larger context in which they’re emerging. In many cases, the same companies decrying police violence are ones that, through off-shoring, less-than-humane working conditions and other policies, contribute to making life so hard for minorities in this country and others.
