Apple hates white people
-
Massive strawman. I never said that certain lives aren't worth the effort.
I was just pointing out how APPLE named the charity in a dishonest way and buried the details in the small print.
Like I tell leftists, if you have the moral high ground, then why do you need to hide your face? The same applies here.
-
That's hardly a strawman argument. It's very valid. And it's much less of a leap than the one you made when you said "Apple hates white people". C'mon. We can talk about this without stereotyping or implied insults. The comment about me being a "leftist" and taking the "moral high ground" while "hiding my face" is borderline confrontational. That's not necessary. And it's not even accurate. I show more of my face than you do. And if I don't show my full name and full face, it's because I'm new to this site and I'm rightfully cautious about making my image and information public on a site where it seems most (if not all) people are anonymous. Surely you can agree that's reasonable? (I know, I know. Don't call you "Shirley"
). I belong to other forums, and am well known on them. I even had members show up at my partner's funeral (which was incredibly nice of them). Looking at my avatar now, I'm still a bit worried I might be showing too much. We all know that there are people who can fixate and become obsessed on others. It's always good to exercise a little caution.As for being "leftist". Yeah, I lean towards the left. But I only lean towards the left. I'm not some polar opposite. Few people fall squarely on the far end of the left/right spectrum. Most people are not at the ends of the spectrum, but in the space in between, with some falling almost in the middle. I'm somewhere between the middle and the end of the left spectrum. If you want to label me as a "leftist", that's your prerogative, but it's not very accurate. Saying someone is "left" or "right" breaks everyone down into one of two camps, and people can't be boxed away so neatly into just two categories.

WOW, you love to read more into things than are there. Clearly, you are looking for things to get offended by.
The "moral high ground" comment was about APPLE not being completely upfront and honest about what they were doing.
-
Ahhhh. I apologize then. The way it was worded was a little ambiguous and I read it an entirely different way.
-
Concluding that apple hates white people just because they dont mention that their campaign only benefits Africa is also a massive leap of logic.
To talk about strawmen after that is a bit ironic. -
Apple, like many other multinational companies, pays very little in taxes. This means they don't really benefit the west. They then are deceitful in their charity's purpose by labeling it "global".
They want white people to pay for their overpriced crap, while they don't pay taxes, then they want white people to fund their dishonestly named charity that doesn't do anything for white people.
Think of it like this; I have a charity called "All Live Matter" but I only ever give money to support "Black Lives Matter". Would that be honest of me?
-
So, they're dishonest and deceitful (like most brands).
Where does the white hatred come into play here? -
Maybe you should re-read the entire thread.
They prey on whites with a deceitful charity name to fund something whites can't benefit from.
I would go so far as to say that this "global" charity for Africans with HIV/AIDS won't help white Africans.
-
You specifically could go as far as saying many things. A lot of people can.
I still dont see the hatred of white people. -
Ok, let's change it to "love black Africans above all else".
-
They love and hate no one.
They love profitable business and misleading charity for good publicity. As simple as that. -
What they are doing is using deceitful practices aimed at whites to benefit black Africans.
As I said before, it's like a charity called ALL LIVE MATTER, but excludes everyone except BLM.
-
Still not hatred dude.
Your analogy is irrelevant. -
Defrauding one group to benefit another group, other than leftism, is what then?
If Apple targetted black Africans to fund a "global" charity that only benefitted white North Americans, would be?
-
Hello,
Your train of thought has derailed here mate.
First, it's called "global fund to fight AIDS" not "fund to fight AIDS globally". HUGE difference. You can call it misleading or dishonest at worst if you want.
But calling it hatred is a stretch! Is it self-serving? virtue signalling? a PR stunt? Probably but hate, calm down. -
Also, defrauding means they've done something illegal. Where?
How is this hidden in the small prints? (See attachments)
You don't know what small prints actually means.
-
I already talked about how they buried the truth in the small print.
AGAIN, why not be honest and name the charity so it reflects it's true purpose of only supporting black Africans? Maybe a name like the "We only care about black Africans with HIV?AIDS fund - fuck you and give us your money".
-

I got that, but they are being dishonest with that.
It's called a "lie by omission".
To be truthful, it would be called "global fund, paid for by white people, to fight AIDS only for black Africans".

So after hatred the accusation is leftism. Do you by any chance equate the two?
Just because Apple knows who to ask money from and also who needs it most, doesnt mean they hate anyone. They dont give two **** if you're white. They have no feeling about that. They have a feeling about what they can do to stay in business. Even if they wanted to profit illegally, feelings about race are irrelevant. Simple logic.
You dont have to find a conspiracy theory behind everything.
