NLPC: This morning National Legal and Policy Center presented a resolution at Colgate-Palmolive Company’s annual shareholder meeting that would require greater transparency and itemization by the company about its charitable donations.
Through our research in support of our resolution, we discovered the health and hygiene multinational corporation is funding Rev. Al Sharpton‘s National Action Network, which he founded and where he still serves as president. The company announced the donations during the summer of riots in June 2020, as part of a $4-million commitment over two years “to Black and African American communities, while we also continue active support for programs that advance women, Latinxs, Asians, LGBTQ+, veterans and people with disabilities.”
As NLPC wrote about Sharpton and NAN in 2016:
Why are corporations bankrolling NAN? How are their interests being served? The answer: Their interests aren’t being served, certainly not in the long run. Buying off one’s accusers to ward off a boycott, a negative public relations campaign or a spurious anti-discrimination lawsuit is not a reason to donate. Such capitulation merely invites more shakedowns later on. Al Sharpton and his top aides aren’t about to change their views or their sense of mission.
Isn’t that pix pitiful?
Biden, likely being the bank robbery “jump man”, while his masked bank robbers steal all the Washington’s and Lincoln’s, but passed over all the Benjamin Franklin’s……Benjamin, who?
Too bad Sharpton quit having three fried chickens for breakfast, his arteries would have clogged up years ago. He just stirs up hatred for the filthy lucre that he pockets.
I vote no.
Sharpton is nothing but a blackmailer.
Sharpton is an African Asshole that should be repatriated back to an African Asshole country!
