This is one of many blog posts I’ve read recently crowing about the number of corporations demanding their money back from Cindy Hyde-Smith after she let her racist flag fly a little too high. Among those sending bribe money her way was Major League Baseball. Now that she has announced to the world that she is a racist, these corporations are unanimous: her racism conflicts with her values.
One must ask, what was it they thought harmonized with their values when they donated the money in the first place? She is a Southern Republican, which means she is almost be definition a racist committed to depriving black people of all their rights, and the rest of us of the benefits of a sane healthcare system, etc. How was that consistent with their values? How does Major League Baseball explain its donation to the many black players upon whom it relies to draw people into the baseball stadiums to watch the overpriced games?
It seems a little silly for left-wing, or Democratically oriented, blogs to wallow in the fact that these entities have asked for their money back (I’ve yet to see any evidence that any money was returned). We should be attacking them and demanding answers: why did they give this person money in the first place?
