Ferguson was barely about racism. What it was really about is a whiny group of thugs who believe they are above the law because their great, great, great, great, great grandparents might have been slaves. Add to that the con men from the "we done found ourselves some racism" industry who show up for "justice" only when someone black is involved and you have a recipe for a mess.
In b4 MLK's contributions to society get marginalized because he was a media darling, a womanizer and not squeaky clean.
Oh damn....I'm late to the party.

Thugs, huh? Just say what you really want to say.
Arizona? Brewer is that you?

I'm sorry to inform you but you just accurately described a whole industry and its purpose. And yes when it comes down to controlling our minds via campaigns we are very weak.
But fortunately there is an app for that. It is called critical thinking.
I don't care, but it a smart move to Apple to do this even if they don't have the intention to build their brand while doing it.
It is no secret Tim Cook see's MLK as a hero, so it just as easily could be a "win" "win" on Apples part.
Google does doodles for everything, and mostly because people visit their homepage everyday and people enjoy seeing something different when they go to do a search. - They also do it so often, most don't think of it nearly as much as when Apple does.
Yes thugs. If humans are essentially same regardless of race then it follows that there there are both black and white thugs. The former were in prominence in Ferguson.
Ferguson was about a lot of issues.
But I doubt not expecting to be shot to death for a traffic stop has anything to do with anyone relatives being former slaves or not.
However one should be expected to be shot to death for attacking a policeman regardless of cultural or racial differences.
All very true. I think a lot of the people here who are whining because MLK wasn't perfect are the same ones who are annoyed with the pope because they haven't been make saints--after all these people, the cynics on the forum are perfect people who have lived their lives without any mistakes or transgressions. That's why I rarely waste my time in this forum. Lots and lots of wasted time with moaning and groaning about everything. Sheesh. Most of the people who follow these kinds of forums regularly need to learn how to live productive lives.
Or maybe I'm just not one to overanalyze and think everything is some sort of conspiracy theory to drive up Apple's sales or whatever the hell some of yall are going on about....Apple posted a tribute to honor MLK. Nothing more, nothing less. Why some have to overthink this, is beyond me.
The point you're missing is that Apple isn't promoting itself using MLK. they're using their platform to call attention to what he stood for. Huge difference.
I think it's only certain political, social, and economical issues that Apple chooses to involve itself with. Religion thus far is a big Apple no no.
Really? What news channels do you watch? I only ask because it seemed like a very small minority of folks out there that were actually causing problems with violence, looting, etc.
Most of the individuals in the streets were peaceful. Angry at the situation, but indeed peaceful. And exercising their right to voice that opinion in a non-violent manner.
Don't confuse justified anger and voicing that anger with "thug".

Um. Right. Go take your ideas for reparations in any form elsewhere.
Here is the best I've ever heard it put, ironically by a comedian. He gets it, like it or not.

Why? Shouldn't a policeman use non-lethal force to incapacitate an unarmed attacker? Such as (in order of preference):
- pepper spray
- electroshock
- whacking with a night stick
- shooting to wound.
If a policeman immediately goes for a gun when confronted by an unarmed attacker, they are clearly incompetent, and should be sacked. It's an important, highly responsible, demanding job, and those who prove they cannot exercise it properly need to be removed. Only competent policeman are good enough to protect the public.

Gonna start paying those Foxcon workers a typical middle class wage, Tim?
How do Foxcon wages compare to typical middle class wages in that part of China? I had thought they were quite good, which is why so many people choose to work there. Do you have information to the contrary? If their wages are below market, why do people choose to work there?
