Company built by a RACIST and possible SLAVE HOLDER!

I really cannot BELIEVE grocery stores and restaurants and movie theaters still sell a product built for the enrichment of a morphine addict and a bigot!

By the way, why has Coca-Cola not been forthright in its history of its inventor? Shouldn't we have an apology from every board member? And how about politicians who have taken MONEY from Coca Cola officers? Aren't they tainted too?

Not to be confused with John C. Pemberton, the Confederate commander at Vicksburg.

I have boycotted Coke for decades, and will continue to do so.

The hundreds if not thousands I have spent on this racist product triggers me! I demand a full refund from Coca Cola.

The company is headquartered in Atlanta, GA. We must shut it down and burn the remains until every reminder of this racist drink has turned to smoke in the air.

Should go further. Boycott Democrats because they supported slavery, Segregation, Separate but Equal, the KKK, lynching of blacks, etc etc. Yep, boycott Democrats; start a movement.

Coca Cola should be required to provide coke to Democrats....

Oh wait, someone is already filling that service.

Out rage by the local chapter of MS-13.

My boyfriend wants to boycott them because they are doing away with Coke Zero. But hey, a boycott is a boycott.

Not to mention all that carbon dioxide that is released when you open a can.

Ban all carbonated beverages in the fight against Global Warming!

Yes, that includes beer as well.

Hmmmmm.......I wonder if the Antifa thugs in Charlottesville, (you know, the ones with Coke cans filled with concrete) knew they were advertizing for a Confederate created product?? (Yes, I am being ridiculous, but then I doubt those thugs are bright enough to research anything they are told/paid to do)

You know, I thought it was funny when Granny on the Beverly Hillbillies railed about them damn Yankees.

All this stuff is just really stupid. And not very funny.

Asa Candler bought out Pemberton for the rights for Coca Cola for $2,500. His nephew, Milton Candler, started the second Coca Cola bottling plant in Corinth, Mississippi, that is still in operation today.

It triggers me to think of all the Coke I have drunk. Coke has sponsored high school scoreboards all over the US. I demand they be torn down, an apology issued, and reparations for my newly discovered outrage.

RC Cola ALSO has roots here in Columbus, Georgia, and Pepsi’s roots are in 19th century North Carolina. We can only conclude that the creators of all the major colas either served for the cause of the confederacy and slavery, or paid to feed its war machine. Must boycott ALL cola!
