Turns out Rosenberg, who spent 16 years in a federal prison after trying violently to disrupt President Ronald Reagan, has been helping fund Black Lives Matter in recent years.
NEWS FROM THE WORLD OF WOKE CORPORATIONS: Makeup Giant L’Oreal Changes Product Names To Appease Perpetually-Offended Race Hustlers.
“The L’Oreal Group has decided to remove the words white/whitening, fair/fairness, light/lightening from all its skin evening products,” the company said in a statement.
