Home Depot is a publicly traded company - so its owners are people who own stocks or mutual funds which include home depot in their portfolio. These owners include employees who receive stocks or options as part of their benefits. He has no more role now than any other stock owner does, and the percentage of shares he owns is relatively small.

But facts shouldn't get in the way of righteous anger.

(I've debunked this nonsense multiple times - but it hasn't made a dent in the calls to boycott Home Depot)
