People are still going to drink coke around the world regardless.

A lot of people think these mega corporations are silly but they weigh it all out. Didn’t Nike increase sales after the Kap stuff?

My phone has been blowing up with news articles today about this and how closing the black woman earnings gap would raise the annual GDP by $300 million

It feels like a coordinated effort to push racist news to set a narrative

frick Coca-cola.


Coke is doing this shite because they're an Atlanta company, and Atlanta is pretty much the capital of Black America these days. And right now Black America is feeling their oats, so to speak.

Pepsi will try to out-woke them. Guaranteed.

This is what you get with corporations: a race to wokeness.

McDonald's panders to blacks with their commercials? Fine, Burger King sees you and raises you a Gay Whopper.

Learn to love generics and stop feeding corporations.

Will they accept someone who identifies as black, like a Rachel Dolezal, Esquire?

Coca-Cola Says It Will Only Hire Law Firms That Meet Quota For Black Attorneys

Coke said it will only hire law firms that commit to providing 15 percent of billed time from black attorneys.


Why does Coke need so much services from law firms?

The resurgence of segregation is saddening.

That picture you see of the bottle has made a local Monroe La family lots and lots of money seeing that Great Great grandfather was the first person to bottle Coca-Cola. Wonder how they feel about all the wokeness

The actual city of Atlanta is becoming less and less black by the month. It’s the Atlanta suburbs where the black people are moving to.

I love HEB but I hate to tell you the owner lives in Manhattan and is indeed woke as well.

The oddity is that these woke companies will replace workers, most of whom are minorities, with robots. Maybe they’ll be woke robots.

Talk about synchronicity...

My wife's law firm got an email this week from a large multinational insurance group stating my wife's firm did not meet their diversity requirements to represent them.

After an audit, it was determined to be a 98.2% diversity billing rate.

The client said it wasn't the "right kind of diversity." Apparently a white woman parnter, a white lgbt male partner, and multiple women/black/asian associates are not considered "diverse enough", they need more people of color.

A true case study of Jordan Petterson's intersectionality.

Clown world.

If you're fine with generic cola, you should look into a machine to make carbonated drinks. They are great! I recommend DrinkMate, it under $100 and works great.

This - time for a website specifically focused on a mission to boycott all woke and racist companies. The greatest reverse discrimination in US history is going on. And the push back should be to destroy all of their profits.

They vote the same way, though. There really isn't much difference politically.

I frequent two local grocers here in BR on a twice a week basis, the coke section of each store is fully stocked and looks as though no one has touched them.


They probably restock it everyday.

Glad I quit drinking the stuff.
You can be assured that law firm will be jacking its billing rates.
Politics are not a good mix and the media will keep it sufficiently quite that most folks won't know the difference.
