Hey we have a break through! Great. You can admit there was racism 17 years ago, well thank Non Cheetos Jesus that has all changed since then. The new studies may still show there is less racism now, but it just racism against clubs.

It started as a murmur of dissent, but over the weekend, the campaign to persuade brands to boycott Facebook ads for the month of July turned into a major crisis for the social media giant.

It began badly on Friday when Unilever, one of the world’s biggest advertisers, announced it was joining the Stop Hate for Profit campaign, which had already been backed by Verizon, Patagonia, and Ben and Jerry’s.

Coca-Cola and Hershey’s joined the campaign soon after, and throughout Saturday and Sunday, dozens of more companies, large and small, added their names to the list.

Global drinks giant Diageo, which owns brands like Guinness, Smirnoff, and Johnnie Walker, said Saturday it would stop buying ads on all social media platforms from July 1, and “will continue to discuss with media partners how they deal with unacceptable content.”

 

 

 

There has been no breakthrough because you've failed to prove anything.  

Now you've posted something unrelated to the point you've been going on about.  An article about companies boycotting Facebook before the BLM, ADL, and NAACP start a boycott against them has nothing to do with what I've said.  If anything it helps explain JBluhms point on media bias because the squeaky wheel always gets the most grease in this case.  And it's starting to add up.

Now wrap your head around this, if a company will hire black people if they omit certain college "experience" on their resume, then skin color is not the problem.  It appears to be whether people will fall in line and play nice.  That's not racism.

The name of the thread is "Facebook is demonstrably meddling in 2020 Election", so yeah it is connected to the thread. Reddit also took some steps today. You keep on grasping at the clubs as the reasons people were over looked. I'll going with the multiple studies that showed there is still bias, instead of a gut feeling.

Grasping???  You're hilarious.  I'm just using the only usable data in your linked study.  You want it to say something that it doesn't.  

Furthermore, you can quote whatever study you want.  The problem is you don't understand what they say or how to know whether the data is being manipulated.  You're just a blind man with an unloaded gun.
