baubles of my mind's eye

jonathan-cunningham:

Google is sponsoring a conference this week that features white supremacists, anti-gay activists, and one group classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a “White Nationalist hate group.”

One panel at this week’s Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, DC is called “The Failure of Multiculturalism,” and it features the founder of a website that’s claimed:

• Black Americans have lower IQs than whites,
• Jews are partly to blame for “weakening America’s historic white majority,” and
• Multiculturalism is a “disease that is killing us.”

So why is Google spending at least $20,000 to co-sponsor this event?

I get that Google is a business, and that in the USA right now you can’t run a business without greasing the right palms- that doesn’t at all change the fact that greasing the palms of white supremacists is absolutely despicable and inexcusable (especially when the money you give them results in their having greater political power).
