Coca-Cola has quietly scrubbed references to their support for the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement from their website, according to Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
The updates to the website come amid backlash over the Black Lives Matter Chicago chapter’s support of Hamas terrorists on social media. The company was also publicly slammed by Cruz on his podcast last week over their financial support of the left-wing movement. Cruz took to Twitter to call out Coca-Cola for apparently stealth-editing the references to the organization from their webpage.

God Bless and protect Senator Cruz and his family.
He obviously has read Revelation.

I think they should shout it from the rooftop.

Also, those slogans pit in along the sidelines in college football stadiums seem to have been tamed, altered, or have disappeared entirely.

As we ponder this news, may I ask a question…
My Dear, Beloved Mom, who was an orphan from Dallas, raised by a dear Aunt, and went to school and kept learning while working for a publishing company in Chicago. Met and married my Dear Dad, an MIT Engineer, with masters from a school in Maine where his grandfather had been on the Board.
She nevertheless loved Coke, having at least one each day on our 100+ acre dairy farm, where we milked 80+ Registered Guernseys and Holsteins every morning at 4am and 4pm.
Yes, getting up before 4am, working all day, feeding young calves bottles sometimes 3x each day, she was the example of compassion, commitment and perseverance.
But makes me wonder, was there an ‘unnamed’ ingredient, particularly after company refused to share recipe…
Folks, pay attention to ingredients, fast as often as you can to take stress off your liver, and pray for America to return to our Founding Principles.
By your grace, LORD.
MAGA

Coca-Cola thinks knives are long? Memories are even longer. And like Candid Camera, just when you least expect it ... ta-da.

Chicken****s, made a big deal in support but too damn spineless to announce removing it, afraid of backlash! Well Coke you already jumped on the political bandwagon too late now to jump off, your bed is made.

No matter what the product or service is, companies are in business to do one thing and one thing only; make money. It is the only reason to exist as a business. As such, they will adopt whatever stance they think will make them money. Often they are wrong (Like Bud Light).
The one thing we can be certain of is that when they think something else will make them more money, this current thing will be dropped like a bad habit.

To me, any store displaying BLM at the entry. is off limits. In my town, I wanted to check out a wine shoppe but the BLM poster kept me away like a spirit charm.

Too late. You already outed yourselves as racist haters. Let the BLM-ers drink your product.

I drank more Coke than anyone I know. I used to save "codes" off the 12 pack boxes and enter them on a website for various items. That all ended after BLM. They changed their website for the codes to be used for support of all things Black. Still have a grocery sack full of codes, but I haven't been to their website or bought diet coke since. Store brand tastes the same and is cheaper.

being an old codger I can recall the times before sponsorships and politics invaded everything. IMO the racial enforcer, "Rev" Jesse Jackson, and his Rainbow Push organization were major contributors to the changes through the economic use of "protection" - meet our demans and your product is safe.

A little off topic, but you know, hang-gliding gunmen are good for a surprise attack on an unarmed group of people.
However, if you expect the attack and you are armed, it's advantage to the defenders - sort of like slow-motion skeet-shooting.

Maybe, just maybe their updates to their website have something to do with the FSU professor who was falsifying research:
Human Events - by: C.G. Jones 04/12/2023
A criminology professor at Florida State University suddenly left his lucrative position after it was discovered that he skewed statistical data to make racism seem more prevalent than it actually is.
Eric Stewart, who left his $190,000-a-year job, has had five of his six studies taken down after allegations that he fabricated information by altering sample sizes. Though Stewart has denied these allegations, his sixth study, conducted in 2020, drew the attention of an FSU committee, who gathered to discuss Stewart’s findings, per the Daily Mail.
Stewart has not shown up to work in the last months, which could mark the end of his 16-year career at the institution and his long history of academic malpractice. Additionally, it is curious why Stewart would feel the need to fabricate data if racism was truly as prevalent as he made it out to be in his so-called study.
Or, some of the other information that's been coming to light recently.

They need to find exactly which person pushed the BLM agenda inside the company and make sure that they never work there again.

Never forget! They haven't changed their leftist orientation. Association with BLM has just become an albatross. So, they are trying to hide their real character. Don't let them get away with it. Continue to boycott Coke products.

Remember the Coca-Cola commercial "Coke Is It!" Well for me it hasn't been for awhile as I've found better more healthy things to drink. It really went off the deep end when it became one of the companies that went woke with BLM support. Now they instead of coming out and saying it publicly they like cowards scrub their support of the Marxist grifters away. Sorry Coke for me "You Aren't It!" and will continue to be so.
