As a victim of corporate and political racial discrimination, I can testify that corporations and governments perform both misfeasance and malfeasance in our culture and legal theaters. If these “Titans” support a contra agenda to the general consensus, they will eventually be punished in profit margins, market share or in legal and political terms.
