Coca-Cola taking a step back

[AC2020]

The conservative boycott worked.

We need more of this to shake these companies listening to the woke propaganda back to reality.

What a great turn of events and what a great lesson for all conservatives. We can band together to effect change just like the politically correct zealots. All we have to do is follow the money - nothing will make a behemoth change more rapidly that taking a big bite out of their bottom line. Thanks for sharing @AC2020

Earlier this year, Coca-Cola became the poster child for how a corporation could shove leftist ideologies onto its consumers. The company suspended advertising on Facebook in a push to censor former President Donald Trump, published a manifesto about racial equity, and demanded all legal teams working for Coke meet certain diversity quotas.

POLL: What scares you the most?


But now, after Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx.), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), and many other conservative voices called for a boycott of the company's products, Coca-Cola appears to be shifting directions.
The Washington Examiner reported that the company issued a conciliatory statement after conspicuously failing to appear on a published list of hundreds of corporations and individuals that signed a statement denouncing the Georgia voting bill.
"We believe the best way to make progress now is for everyone to come together and listen respectfully, share concerns, and collaborate on a path forward. We remained open and productive conversations with advocacy groups and lawmakers who may have differing views," the company said. "It's time to find common ground. In the end, we all want the same thing – free and fair elections, the cornerstone of our democracy."




Then last week, Coca-Cola Co.'s new general counsel, Monica Howard Douglas, told members of the company's global legal team that the diversity initiative announced by her predecessor, Bradley Gayton, is "taking a pause for now." Gayton resigned unexpectedly from the position on April 21, after only eight months on the job, to serve as a strategic consultant to Chairman and CEO James Quincey.

"Why is Coca-Cola 'taking a pause' on all of these? Because you have been standing up," Glenn Beck said on the radio program Monday. "You and others have been standing up. Your voice, it's the power of one. Your voice makes a difference."

Yep. It is beyond time to teach these companies a hard lesson. Fingers crossed coke is the first of many dominos to fall. There are more of us than the loony toon far left whackos, and if we put any effort into it at all we can stop this bullshit...no one ever put it more bluntly and accurately than Jordan, in his comments about republicans buying sneakers too.

Subway and many others will never get a penny more from me. Commercials with that pink haired lesbo soccer player was their death knell.

Sounds a lot like Coke doesn't like losing money and they severely misjudged their consumers.

They're hoping this goes away like their introduction of "new coke" years ago and the backlash. Different times now. Not just a change in formula today as they, and others, have ventured into politics and a complete capitulation to the Wuhan sham.

Anyone who has old enough has seen this thing play out before. It was called sensitivity training back in the 90s, and there was a push to hire women and Black candidates, to the point where competent people were getting pushed out of the way in favor of incompetent people who fit the desired skin tone or genitalia profile. Then the movement showed to be a drag on the balance sheets, and it quietly slid into the background. I suspect we're seeing the beginnings of the same thing now.

I swore off that poison years ago but still secretly enjoy a south of the border coke every now and then. How fvcked is it that we need to import them from south of the border to get pure cane sugar coke while in the states they inject that shit with baby cells and fake sweeteners. Kiss my ass coke and Patriots never forget! SKOL!

This is also a boon for small business. Many people start their own businesses during these times of moral panics to stay away from woke controlled work places.

If you want freedom and to be judged on the content of your character and not the color of your skin, stay with small companies that are decentralized.

It says alot about our society (myself included)that a pedophile spokesman wasn't too much, but a pinko is.

Imagine tanking a co and getting $666,666/month to go away. I wish I could be that annoying that people would pay me to leave the fucking area.

40 years ago, my Dad worked for the credit bureau which became Experian. They had been hiring minorities with the intent to make them managers of their branch offices once they had been with the company enough years to learn the business. Almost all of those hires left after 6-12 months when they weren't made managers on their time table v the company's.

In fairness to Jared, he wasn't outed as a Pedo until after being their spokesman for some time. The pink haired lesbo was known going in.
