Weaponizing Corporate America: How White Supremacy’s Economic Foundation Proactively Attacks Black People

The recent incident with Michael Irvin and the suspected white supremacist employee at Marriott who accused him of sexual harassment is a textbook case of how corporations leverage their power against Black people. First, the company aligned itself with the accuser and according to court documents obtained by USA Today Sports, its lawyers stated, “Irvin’s counsel provided a self-serving, inaccurate summary of the video footage Marriott produced, including his claim that the footage proves Irvin did nothing wrong and then turned the microphone over to Irvin to make racially charged statements.”

Second, they withheld the video requested by Irvin’s attorney that showed the interaction until a judge, who was not on Team White Supremacy, at least on this technicality, ordered them to release it. The whole process was an attack on a Black man, and by proxy, Black men in general. In this global, oppressive, racial hierarchy, corporations are the economic engines of White Supremacy. It allows WS to impose its will on the world. We have many recent examples. You may recall hearing about D’ Monterrio Gibson, a young man who worked for FedEx in Mississippi, and who was shot at by two low-life thugs, Brandon Case and his father Gregory Charles Case, while doing his job. The two hillbillies chased him, but the brother was able to get away. There was an attempt on his life, yet FedEx sent him back on the same route the very next day. If he was white, they would not have done this exploitative act. Of course, the young man was traumatized by the event and needed some time off. The company did not even give him paid leave. This is the employer-employee relationship for Black people under white supremacy. 

At Tesla, we all have heard about the lawsuit a Black man won against the company for racist incidents at one of its factories. The company’s CEO, the South Afrikaner bigot Elon Musk, is now showing that the culture was top-down with his performative extremism on full display at Twitter. Musk just sent out a tweet saying his company will fund anyone who is fired as a result of tweeting on his platform. Do you think he’s talking to Black people?

He is weaponizing his wealth and platform in the name of that which has given him his current status – White Privilege. His thinking now is that he must pay it forward. The current corporate structure is also a microcosm of the wider American social-economic culture that allows other non-white groups who bring their anti-Black sentiments from their native countries to show that they’re on Team White Supremacy. 

We wrote about a racial discrimination case a while back down in Texas of an Indian technology company treating its Black employees like they were on a plantation. The Black employees were monitored by cameras, demoted, and paid less than other non-Black employees. The potential benefits of financial success and other privileges are why there is a space for this type of psychopathic behavior, especially for those with immigrant backgrounds like Vivek Ramaswamy. 

Anti-Black racism is the backbone of America. This is the truth, and it is American policy, from the boardroom to the legal system, the racial Ponzi scheme that was architected several centuries ago is still hard at work to maintain itself. It’s up to us to continue to put the arm on the bad guys and create justice.
