Apple CEO Tim Cook: 'I Will Fight Until My Toes Point Up' for DACA

[incoherent_1]

I’m so tired of values signaling with statements like this.

Lobby your congressmen or raise money for whatever candidate for whatever issue you want. It’s a free country. But we don’t need to hear about how you’re such a great and noble person because you push hard on this or that issue. Good grief.

 

[AlexGraphicD]

Tim Cook. The hypocrite who virtue signals and fights until his toes point up only for issues that have to do with the American society and the supposedly “oppression” of minorities in this great country, but at the same time keeps his mouth shut about his authoritarian communist boss, China.

How pathetic. Delusional, totally out of touch liberal elitists who don’t appreciate the great constitution of the USA and want to turn it to Venezuela.

 

[Hieveryone]

But when it comes to the people of Hong Kong fighting for freedom, what is your stance on that?

 

[ToroidalZeus]

I'm not opposed to DACA because I really don't know what the right answer is.

Deport them all, including all illegals. Do you want to become a minoirty in USA and be ruled over by Hispanics like AOC? These DACA kids will tell you to "go back to Europe colonizer" if you give them amnesty. Choose, do you want to Make America Mexico Again or Make America White Again?

As is mentioned in the article, 450 Apple employees are DACA recipients. How is DACA being threatened not something that would financially impact the company?

1. Those are jobs that could be done by white Americans. Apple is making a choice to hire Mexicans over Whites. DACA is implicitly anti-white.

2. You need to make a decision, should Apple be an American company that does policies that are good for white Americans or should Apple be able to do policies that are bad for white Americans.

3. Apple can rehire.

They can hire legal immigrants or Americans. Radical idea, eh?

Get woke. Go broke.

DACA was a bad deal, and the legality is debatable. The first two letters of DACA stand for “Deferred Action,” meaning, the action will come later. Later is now.

I wish people would stop acting like DACA is the savior for the immigrants involved in the program. It gave absolutely no path to citizenship, or even residency. The government basically said, “we’ll let you stay for now, as long as you tell us where you live,” So now, as the program ends (the “deferred action”), the government knows where to find these people and have them deported.

We need to be fighting for immigration reform, and making a path of citizenship for the DACA recipients. Keeping DACA just further defers the issue to a later date. But our elected officials are too busy trying to bring down Trump rather than fixing the issues they allegedly care so much about.

I wish you'd fight as hard to ensure your company releases bug free operating system for your biggest money maker.

But yeah, fight your social justice battles, nobody's gonna remember you after you're done at Apple.

Oh he’ll be long remembered. He’s giving away his entire fortune, hundreds of millions of dollars.

His name will be on hospitals, college buildings, scholarships, and dozens or hundreds of other philanthropic causes.

It’ll be his final, going away FU to all the haters—rubbing their noses in causes they like to denigrate and minimize with labels like “woke” and “social justice”.

No. The non whites will purge Tim Cook's colonizer name from all aspects of US Society just like they are getting rid of George Washington and other white males. Tim Cook doesn't understand that he is a white male, he is a beneficiary of colonization just like all other whites. He has no right to exist in USA, doesn't matter how much money to gives, he can never wash the blood of indigenous people from his hands.

Sounds like someone has frightened you. Yikes. I’d tell you not to be afraid but I don’t think it would help. Good luck though, and try not to be scared!

 

[Bryan Bowler]

These are all good social issues worth fighting for, but I must admit....I too am sorely disappointed with Apple's software development over the last 5 years...so the comments that have been made here are, well, very good points!

Yes, there is nothing wrong with fear, it's a survival instinct and it's necessary to think ration, to be risk averse. I think you're sheltered and reckless.

Wow. Thats one of the most misguided and idiotic things I’ve herd. Not every american is white.

Insults aside, I don’t think fear is necessary to think rationally, I think rather that it contributes to irrational thinking. A great man once said, “the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” — FDR. Now that was a President.

Only white people identify as American. Everyone else identifies by their race. Talk to the black community. They will tell you, "America was built by white people for white people. Blacks will never be real Americans because America was not built for us, it was built by us....slave master on the dollar bills...."America is built upon euro-normative values and all American heros are white. America is implicitly a white. I've heard this from multiple non whites.

FDR also opened mount Rushmore and said.

"This is the second dedication. There will be others by other presidents in other years. When we get through, there will be something for the American people that will last through not just generations but for thousands and thousands of years, and I think that we can perhaps meditate a little on those Americans ten thousand years from now when the weathering on the face of Washington and Jefferson and Lincoln shall have proceeded to perhaps a depth of a tenth of an inch – meditate and wonder what our descendants, and I think they will still be here, will think about us. Let us hope that at least they will give us the benefit of the doubt – that they will believe we have honestly striven every day and generation to preserve for our descendants a decent land to live in and a decent form of government to operate under."

There will not be white people in America 200 yrs from now, let alone 10k years from now. And Mt. Rooshmore will be destroyed because it was built on indigenous lands by colonizers. You seem to be completely ignorant about the race situation in USA.

 

[PickUrPoison]

Get woke. Go broke.

Or become the most profitable and valuable company in the world.

One of the two.

 

[bobenhaus]

its all about Tim all of the time. Get woke go broke.

Imagine if Apple had a CEO who cared as passionately about product quality as this one does about social activism.

I thought all men were created equal? It doesn’t say, “all men are created equal, as long as they’re white”.

You’re spouting some of the most un-American BS I’ve heard in years.

PS If you think you’re “white”, have your DNA tested. It’ll open up your little world for you. But can you handle the truth? Hmm, maybe it’s best you not know.

 

[ToroidalZeus]

I thought all men were created equal? It doesn’t say, “all men are created equal, as long as they’re white”.

So many problems here.

1. It says MEN, not women. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/abigail-adams-urges-husband-to-remember-the-ladies

2. Const. says blacks are 3/5ths of a white and Dec in Indep. calls native Americans "savages."

3. George Washington and the rest of the founding fathers abandoned the Dec. of Indep. when they drafted the US const. Shay's rebellion showed that those french englightment values "all men are created equal... life liberty and pursuit of happiness.." lead to weak central govt (articles of confederation) and a reign of terror.

Of Shays’ Rebellion, Washington wrote, “if three years ago any person had told me that at this day, I should see such a formidable rebellion against the laws & constitutions of our own making as now appears I should have thought him a bedlamite - a fit subject for a mad house.” He wrote that if the government “shrinks, or is unable to enforce its laws . . . anarchy & confusion must prevail

You’re spouting some of the most un-American BS I’ve heard in years.

Based on what, the k-12 brainwashing you got that told you that whites are evil and it's wrong for white people to identify as white and advocate for policies that are good for them?

btw MLK wanted reparations. You know this correct?

PS If you think you’re “white”, have your DNA tested. It’ll open up your little world for you. But can you handle the truth? Hmm, maybe it’s best you not know.

I have my DNA test. It moot. Non whites see me as a white male and they treat me as a white. I know when they look at me, they see an evil kkk nazi colonizer. That is the brand image of whites in USA and no way I am comfy becoming a minority ruled by non whites. Tell me, why are you a non white supramcist? Do I have a right to not be ruled by non whites?

You seem to not understand. This is the year 2019. Those old center-left talking points don't apply anymore in 2019.

 

[PickUrPoison]

Imagine if Apple had a CEO who cared as passionately about product quality as this one does about social acitivism.

How strange to think one can only care passionately about one thing.

But here’s a question: if Cook spends 60-80 hours a week on Apple, but just 2 on “social activism”, which is he most passionate about?

I don’t think you’ve really thought this through very well.

 

[- rob -]

It boggles the mind that Tim Cook was able to meet with and stand next to Donald Trump in some kind of unifying way. I can not think of two more opposing figures.

That they met at all speaks to the shear power of capitalism and requirements to put all ethical and moral considerations for corporate leaders aside to honor the financial investments of strangers who carry no such thoughts on their own.

I can not help but feel embarrassed for Tim Cook and his having to be at the helm of a vast wealth machine at such a depraved time for national politics. What a shameful and awful stain on Tim Cook’s legacy.

The question isn’t necessarily “why am I a non-white supremacist” but rather, why are you a white supremacist? And no, you do not “have the right not to be ruled by non-whites”.

You seem not to understand that despite the present occupant of the White House at the moment, racism is as un-American as doing the bidding of Russian Communists like Putin instead of the American people. Both have no place in 2019.

White supremacist is a white person that wants to rule over other races, i.e. a white person that wants to be the majority. The future for whites in USA is to pay reparations for slavery, white tax to divest their wealth and eventually be sent into gas chamber for colonization.At least be honest and admit that whether it's DACA or open borders, you're advocating for the systematic purging of whites from America. I don't see how this is "American values."

You seem not to understand that despite the present occupant of the White House at the moment, racism is as un-American as doing the bidding of Russian Communists like Putin instead of the American people. Both have no place in 2019.

Anti-racism has only been the US State religion since 1964. Reality is there is nothing wrong with racial profiling. I've met intl students from China that complain about not being able to speak about race in USA. 1. Putin isn't a communist. 2. White Americans have the same level of censorship as Soviets did under Stalin. 3. China isn't communist either, it's mostly an Oligarchy and these Chinese complain about lack of speech in USA. Hilarious. Civil Rights Act repealed the 1st Amendment, de facto.

Oh and America was founded by racist colonziers so only white people would even cite the US cons. as a valid source. I think your internalized whiteness is showing.

 

[ToroidalZeus]

Oh the irony...

you have no responses to any of my talking points, most of which I got from the social justice warriors and all you do is strawman attack me. At least admit defeat and lose with grace.
