Sometimes you just have to take things at face value. Maybe, just maybe Apple and Google are trying to honor a great man.

- sparkie 13y agoThey're not "honoring" him, and they're not trying either. Mandela stood against inequality and injustice, which these corporate giants are massive facilitators of. Apple in particular exploit the very people who produce their products in China, while sitting on vast wealth. As global inequality is on the rise, record profits are announced, and despite their position to make a real positive effect on humanity, increasing shareholders profits comes first. While they stick up a nice picture or some text of a great man on their webpages, they stand for completely the opposite. They've completely failed to honor anything about the man, or his ideals. If they wanted to honor him, they could for example, boycott Israel, or doing at least make an effort to actually put an end apartheid.
