recuperation of Black Lives Matter

[[BLM]] was recuperated almost as soon as it started, but especially after the [[murder of George Floyd]]. Companies began “blacking out”, and as part of their own branding, saying that black lives mattered. This sentiment, when expressed by [[Amazon]], for example, is devoid of content, considering Amazon itself pays its own black employees very poorly.
