Even Ben and Jerry's knows this to be true: https://www.benjerry.com/home/whats-new/2016/systemic-racism...

Would you like to present your alternative theory for why black people in America experience more poverty than white people?




I think the bigger question is why does Ben and Jerry's have a page discussing systemic racism on their website. Isn't that a few astronomical units outside the scope of their business?


They are very active in progressive causes. Perhaps when they sold the company to Unilever they negotiated some deal that allows them to continue to use Ben and Jerry website for their activism?
