You know what's really depressing? DeBeers recently contracted Lupita Nyong'o to be their Brand Ambassador. You might remember her from the Black Panther movies - films about a sovereign African nation with a very valuable resource which they protect from exploitation by the outside world. I can't fathom how Lupita thought this was a good idea. I'm sure DeBeers will say that all of their businesses are "conflict free" NOW, but this company should be boycotted forever any anyone with a conscience.

She thought its a good idea because she cares about a paycheck and not some ideals from a bad movie she starred in.
