I would just like to tell you that we haven’t specifically got it in for BP – the oil giant seems to have it in for itself.
Hot on the heels of news of the company being investigated for price manipulation and propane is the news that a group of prominent black leaders in the US including Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have announced a boycott of BP, saying the company gouges consumers and racially discriminates in its business practices. The company was targeted, Jackson says, because none of its upper-level executives are black and there are no black owners among its hundreds of U.S. distributors.
So the company’s troubles mount: over the last year there have been explosions at refineries, spills in the Arctic, allegations of price fixing, and now this. Still those nice ads about what a wonderful company BP is are still running…
BP is one of the most racist companies in America….I’m talking about overt and widespread racism. They need to be audited by the OFCCP and EEOC!
They appeared to be also discriminating in their hiring practice at lower level by hiring majority hispanic employees
