why so but hurt over race....I mean you’re general counsel for a top 50 worldwide company....probably worth tens of millions....yet still beating the victimhood drum....they will never stop ....my ancestors knew what time it was and they pushed back
Seems like the racist was paid off.
2L bottles of Pepsi nearly sold out at local 7Eleven. Had to dig to fibd. 2L bottles of Coke available in abundance. Just a data point but makes one scratch one’s head...could it be? A little righteous indignation, maybe? A collective backbone?
Conincidence, I'm sure. </sarc>
Coke can go choke!

btt
10 months is not much of a tenure.
And he is the first of many as the backlash accelerates.
“he still has a relationship with the company”
...and I’m still boycotting.
Has anyone heard the rumor that Coke is changing their name to Woke? Well, maybe not, since I only just made it up.
The company should be financially ruined. Despite the public exposure of its egregious, racist violations, Coca Cola stood firm in defense of the malice. Serious civil actions should be brought against every board member and executive office holder.
Does not matter anymore. I will not be buying any coke products ever again. Wow these people are stupid. Remember the recipe change lol! What a FUBAR.
Never buying woke coke. It will be a good thing that an iconic American brand goes down and serve as a warning to other companies that partake in leftist politics. We can all easily live with out sugared water.
Coke needs to be broke.
Anyone who signed off on the decision to do this needs to go.
The Coca-Cola Company owns a LOT of other brands. Juices, Water, Milk, Coffee, etc.
Boycott effectively! :)

I am much too white to drink Coke. Coke management has made their point plainly that white is not right.
We often see huge companies, once the leaders in their field, substantially reduced or even disappear suddenly. Sears, Wards, IBM, Maas Brothers, DEC and even the once great General Motors, which at one point had the lion’s share of worldwide car sales. While each story is different as to why, I think they all share certain similarities. In general they often clung to a business model that had become outmoded. They failed to innovate. They didn’t keep an eye on the competition and/or the marketplace. At one point in the seventies K-mart owned their market segment. At the same time K-mart and Walmart each spent one billion dollars. K-mart updated the look of their stores without making any substantive changes or improvements. Walmart bought the most sophisticated satellite-linked data exchange system of any private company in the world. Ten years later Walmart was doubling capacity every few years and K-mart was heading for bankruptcy.
Coke has had one flagship product for over a century. The reason they had to go woke was to attempt to protect that market niche when most of the younger parents were forbidding their kids sugary drinks and whole cities were passing bans aimed at their industry. They hoped, apparently, that going woke would tell younger people, “Hey, we’re on your side. Please don’t hurt us.” It was a terrible miscalculation. Most importantly, the woke crowd are not the general public. They are a bunch of adult children living in their parent’s basement. Not average citizens.
What Coke should have done is update their business model and head into health drinks in a serious way. They have a huge market reach and product placement. The logo could have been rebranded. They also could have pursued the alcoholic drink market. Instead, the board are like dinosaurs wondering why the sky is suddenly full of smoke and fire.
“e signed a new contract to serve as a consultant to Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey. In that position, he’ll be making a hefty $12 million over the next year. That included a $4 million sign-on fee and a monthly consulting fee of $666,666, according to an April 21 securities filing.”
666 is appropriate.
