QVC statement - Page 4

Moonlady · ‎03-10-2010

I know that's the new mantra which shall not be challenged....

But allow me.

Silence is not acceptance, simply because some people say so. Neither is refusing to "take a knee." Moreover, QVC, like many others, is simply parroting the "approved" message.

When companies start qualifying that approved statement, let me know.

The pain they have cost us, the evils that never happened.

As I see it, this implies that most of QVC's staff and vendors are guilty. It also implies many customers are also guilty.

I know who it is specifically directed...beyond disgusted and tired of it!

None of these companies think about helping all the small innocent business owners, all races, that were looted, destroyed, and burned.

I speak for myself, no one else.
@Foxxee, for many of us, the issue is much larger than the looters. They were not protesting. They were taking advantage of the situation.

As to whom the statement was intended, I believe it's every one of us. I have no problem admitting that I need to face my own biases that I've internalized. It's a work in progress for me. We'll never be perfect beings, but we can do better.

If a person never had biases why should they reflect on anything. Sorry but I have never treated people differently because of the color of their skin, or their job or what the wear etc. I'm not impressed by people who wear fancy clothes or jewelry or drive fancy cars. I treat the trash pickup folks the same as anyone else. Skin color, status and material things mean nothing to who someone is in their heart and mind.

@suzyQ3 please re-read your comment and edit it if necessary.

and… Acknowledgment of what?
@esmereldathank you. I noticed that I did not choose the preferred spelling. I edited it.

@suzyQ3 I’m not talking about spelling. I’m talking about the order of the words and that it doesn’t make any sense to me.

And again… Acknowledgment of what?

Right at the top of the forum page under the Q menu. There is black box to click on to read the statement. ETA meant to say it is right above the menu.
