@KKJ

it is currently NOT on my homepage so i would not know where to find it or read it. i appreciated that it was shared here.
@sunshine45 For me, it is at the top of this page. The one I am typing on. Don't know about any home page.

It's a black bar across EVERY page I go to on Q website, including top of the homepage and this page.

Sounds to me like a lot of people here just want QVC to

Shut Up and Ship

Well, as imperfect as this statement might be, and as imperfect as all of us are, people are fed up with being told to be quiet.

@QueenDanceALot That's not the case at all--well not to me. I have no prob with the Q's message, I just don't think it was necessary to post again to forum since it's clearly visible on the website and we can all read.

There's a time and a place for that and this is not the place.

Well, I guess you said what you think and I said what I think.

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.

@Lali1, I'm sorry, but I don't think that any person stating that they have never, ever had a bias thought or reaction is being honest with themselves. I've heard people make that claim. People I have known. Known very well. And it's never been true.

The big test for me was being in a group of people who mistaked my very gentile married name for my birth surname. Not once, not twice, but several times.

It was eye-opening. These were always people who would have been shocked, shocked, I tell ya, shocked,if they were ever forced to see themselves in the mirror.

The best we can do is to listen to others and to put ourselves in their place.

@sunshine45 yeah, I figured it would be different on every device. I'm on IPad and it is at the top of the page here. Weird how it is different for all.

It's a banner (which loads on the page separately from other parts of the webpage and can be one of the causes of the "page jumping" some of us experience). Those banners often are treated as ads and are blocked by browser addons/extensions -- as an example, if I enable my Ghostery addon/extension I cannot see the banner but if I disable Ghostery I do see it. For that reason, not everyone will see the statement. Just general info, in case it's helpful.
