Couldn’t the employees decide what they wanted to do with their money?

  Silence is consent. And not a single person at Verily would be foolish enough to voice their disagreement on this issue. I hope yearly bonuses are next. Putting your money where you mouth is, as it were. The hypocrisy of Google with its 4% black workforce seems pretty staggering to me.

    With highly skilled workers they are likely to just leave. I would prefer to help the causes that are close to me

      > I don’t buy into equal outcome, only equal opportunity This phrase could doom your entire career in today's corporate America, if uttered publicly.

    Just to state the obvious: silence very much is not consent.

    The composition of the NBA is staggeringly disproportionate relative to the overall population. That's a problem, too, right?

      > The composition of the NBA is staggeringly disproportionate relative to the overall population. That's a problem, too, right? Yes, and it's a symptom of the lack of opportunity for blacks. Why are blacks far more likely to make the necessary investment of time directed at that end with the extremely low probability that it pays off? Because they are far less likely than Whites to have much other opportunity that they are sacrificing to do that.
