Troll elsewhere, sweetie

Normally, I count myself among the most cynical of individuals. In this case, I really can't find a reason to doubt Cook's sincerity. Love him or hate him, Cook's pretty transparent about his social justice stance. Honoring Dr. King fits that profile.
Although it wasn't your intent, you actually provided evidence that bolsters what I said about Cook. Notice I bolded "Cook". That was who I was commenting on, not Apple. Apple the company is a different topic and unrelated to the topic of Tim Cook the man. If you'd like to discuss Apple separately, I'll be happy to do so.What sparked MLK's prominence was the segregation on the buses of Birmingham, AL and the rest of the South. They had signs which read "White Forward Colored Rear" It's been 60 years, and Apple's pretty transparent about their lack of effort in this regard.

All corporations should have political agendas and social justice goals. Without them, they're robotic cash machines and nothing more. The best companies have actual humans with beliefs, and they have every right to voice them.
So, you strongly support companies like Hobby Lobby and Chick-Fil-A which also stand by their principles?

The problem is your comment relies on the premise that a singular focus by Cook would change Apple's product lineup. There's no logic to back that. Please don't say something silly like "Jobs had a singular focus." He didn't, he couldn't. No individual could, especially not a CEO of a major corporation. Not really sure why you chose my comment since it has nothing to do with the running of the company. It was simply a comment about the social justice aspect of one person.Of COURSE Cook is sincere. The problem is that he needs to focus on restoring Apple's dying luster in making products people want, and not dawdle on virtue signaling.
You do know that Dr King had a Phd in theology, was a Christian Reverend, and was against homosexquality as such? His moral authority for equality of all men came from God. Listen to his speeches, he referenced God, Christ's resurrection, and preached as a great orator. His perspective was not based on earthly, secular authority. .
