Amazon removes 'equity for Black people' and 'LGBTQ+ rights' from company policies
Amazon has quietly removed protections for Black and LGBTQ+ workers from its company policies.
I do not think this is about appeasing Trump or embracing a Trump presidency. It's just them showing their true colors.
The same kind of corporations that play make-believe whenever June comes around with corporately-sponsored "acceptance" products.
The timing though, the way all these companies are scrambling to enable bigotry before Trump even takes office, shows that they are now afraid of the consequences of being seen not to discriminate. They believe they cannot continue to do business in Trump's USA while being seen to stand up in even the smallest way for anyone but cishet white men. The preemptive compliance has set in even faster than we thought it would.
