In 2005, JPMorgan Chase issued a letter apologizing to negroes for its participation in slavery issues way back when. It also established a $5 million scholarship fund for negroes in Louisiana.
Now the stockholders at JPMorgan have gotten into the fight - because the then-Chairman & CEO William B. Harrison Jr. and then- President & COO Jamie Dimon used stockholder money! My opinion: if these two felt the need to cough-up $5 million to the negroes, they should have written a personal check, not use stockholder money.
The apology and scholarship was wrong then and is still wrong now. It seems the negroes continue to prove my basic belief about them: they can't seem to get by on their own, always needing the white people giving them something.
Any company/organization that feels the need to apologize/pay extortion money to any group for historical issues is weak. In this instance, I am not aware of any whites currently owning slaves. It happened in the past, get over it.
Why is white America so afraid of negroes? Negroes represent just under 13% of the population. Their annual income per capita is one of the lowest of any other ethnic group in the country. So why do American corporations fear a boycott by negroes? If I were a business, I would be more afraid of losing my white customers (you know, the ones who represent the majority as well as having the money) or even the Asians or Hispanics (both of whom have a higher per capita income).
So, call me racist, bigoted, whatever. That just puts me on equal footing with others like the Rebrobates - oops, Reverends - Jackson, Sharpton, et al.
