As a result, American corporations gave or pledged more than $83 billion to either BLM or BLM-related causes.
We created a database tracking contributions and pledges made to the BLM movement and related causes, which we define as organizations and initiatives that advance one or more aspects of BLM's agenda, and which were made in the wake of the BLM riots of 2020.
So too is BLM, which suggests that objections to wealth transfers of this scale are rooted in "White supremacy," and "a pathology that Black organizations don't deserve to be funded." BLM called for reparations.
Correctly understood, DEI is an expression of BLM's broader agenda.
We already know the exorbitant amount of money given or pledged by large banks like JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Silicon Valley Bank in the wake of the 2020 BLM riots to subsidized and sub-prime race-based lending, race-based investment targeting, supply chain diversity initiatives, and nonprofits advancing racial justice.
Kroger, a ubiquitous neighborhood grocery chain, spent at least $13 million to advance racial division, including $5 million toward its "Framework for Action: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" initiative and a $500,000 contribution to LISC's Black Economic Development Fund, a discriminatory investment fund that promotes BLM. Kroger also partnered with the discriminatory, race-based hiring platform OneTen, which aims to "Hire, promote, and advance one million Black individuals who do not have a four-year degree into family-sustaining careers over the next ten years." Caterpillar, the producer of heavy equipment, donated $500,000 each to the NAACP and the Equal Justice Initiative.
John Deere donated $1 million to the NAACP, again, an official partner of BLM. Defense contractors, traditionally neutral and dedicated to keeping America safe, also submitted to BLM's demands.
