No question the Swiss aren’t interested in hiring black people to run anti-racism courses. Performative is a great word. Nestle was sued for using child labor and child labor trafficking of black children from Mali. The case was dismissed in June 2022 (sorry if you were guessing 1807 or something) because—let’s try to squint to see some irony—the trafficked children “lacked standing.” The plaintiffs also “did not adequately explain their role as intermediaries.” Yeah, poor, non educated and non literate children smuggled into a cocoa plantation could not “adequately explain” their position. As intermediaries. To a U.S. judge. Who said real slavery isn’t dead? Nestle (and Hersey and Cargill) get off free and can go back to their denialism that they had anything to do with it, it was done through their “contractors.” They have no power to control the supply chain. GDP of Mali-- $19 billion. GDP of Nestle—$91 billion. GDP of Cargill privately owned)— $114 billion. Like those children stood a chance. It’s just way to dangerous to hire a black person to talk about actual systemic racism. They might start speaking the truth. And then how would we get our chocolate bars and yogurt?
