How is prejudice against corporations different from prejudice against any other group of people?
    #5547022 - 04/23/06 10:23 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

A corporation is a group of people. How is it different to be prejudiced against them as opposed to being prejudiced against balcks, jews, gays or fatties?

I mean if there'a a specific corporation that practices business in a way you find unethical, that's one thing, but some people here just seem prejudiced against all corporations no matter what their business practices are.

It isn't different. It is prejudiced thinking that is influenced by ideology.

For example, you see people rail against police brutality or corporate shenanigans when the amount of people in those two communities that are committing infractions are very small. Yet, these same people don't harp upon the excessively high rate of violent crime committed by black males.

Ideology causes a person to selectively pick their targets and to conveniently ignore other group's transgressions.

I'm not prejudiced against a corporation as a group of people, but I am against treating a corporation as a legal person.

Does that mean you're against taxing them as a legal person?

Sure. I'd be happy if they just taxed the income of the individuals within it(though I'd favor abandoning even this if it was replaced by a land value tax).

The answer to this question seems so obvious to me that its going to be hard to answer  :confused: but I'll try.

A corporation is an organization that you choose to enter. Black skin is something you are born with.

Moreover, if I find out that Coca Cola is assasinating union leaders in plants in El Salvador, it makes sense that I would be prejudiced against someone who works for coke as they have a direct involvement with their company. It betrays a lack of intelligence to be prejudiced against all black people when one of them commits  homicide because the link between the black murderer and the rest of the black people in the world is circumstantial.

I don't think anyone is prejudiced against corporations. It's the things the corporation does in order to maximise short-term profit at the expense of everything else that people find offensive.

Blind corporate hate?

You must be talking about hippies...

The facts are that the people complaining about corporations
are only able to do so because they could drive a corporate
made car to the corporate store to buy a corporate made
computer and plug it into corporately provided internet access.

It's just a business concept, one that helps promote economic
activity.

It sounds like an acceptable double standard. We hate prejudice but we also hate people affiliated with corporations.

No one seems to mind the prejudice if ethnicity and culture are abscent from it.

Im against corporate pay offs and lobbying, but I dont hate anyone associated with corporations. Id work for a corporation if the pay was better than the alternative.

Most people don't hate the people who are part of corporation, but the corporation itself and maybe the people who control how it is run.
