Maybe Coke Should Be Cancelled for Its Nazi Past

Woke Coke seems less concerned with selling sugar water these days than selling Americans on the idea that whites are not worthy of respect or equal protection under the law. A few weeks ago, a whistleblower revealed Coca-Cola’s discriminatory employee training program equating racism with “whiteness.” In a series of online work assignments, Coke goes so far as to instruct its white employees to, “try to be less white.” How does one “be less white”? Coke answers that explicitly: by being less “oppressive,” “arrogant,” “certain,” “defensive,” and “ignorant,” and being more “humble” and “break[ing] with white solidarity.” For Coke, judging people based on the color of their skin is not only tolerated but also company policy.

If the company’s “de-whitening” efforts weren’t sufficient proof that Coca-Cola prioritizes a person’s skin color over a person’s talents and individual character, it drove the point home with a letter sent to its outside legal counsel demanding that law firms assign attorneys representing the Coca-Cola Company based, not upon the quality of lawyers’ work, but rather upon lawyers’ racial classification. Going forward, Coke will penalize and reduce its fees to law firms unable to hit certain racial quotas.

Now Coca-Cola’s CEO is joining other race hucksters to claim that sensible voter ID laws meant to curb fraud in Georgia’s elections should be seen as nothing short of white Americans’ attempt to disenfranchise black voters — a loaded accusation not based in reason or analysis of the law’s merits but rather in raw emotionalism intended to pit one group of Americans against another.

Wait until they hear about Fanta.

[C210N]

It’s my understanding that Nazi trucks had Ford engines.

I don’t know about the past. Seems like the right thing to do for the woke brain dead. We canceled them in this house last weekend for a more recent immorality. I can only hope millions of others did as well.

[QualityMan]

if they wanted to play that game, most of Germany’s economy would be cancelled

BMW
Mercedes
Daimler
Siemens
ThyssenKrupp
Bayer
BASF

ad infinitum...

[Lisbon1940]

Also Dehomag.

[Mouton]

After that association with the Nazi and Coke, they are definitely off my purchase list. What is that old expression about glass houses?

[Yorlik803]

The guy who invented Coke was a Confederate. Also a drug addict.

[Theophilous Meatyard III]

If you must walk around naked all day, don’t live in a glass house?

An interesting documentary I recently took in explains very plausibly that the western companies assisting Nazi's talked about here is just a scratch on the surface of what went on in WW-II.

The documentary details how bankers (ie, banksters), mostly in London but the US too, and industry giants funded BOTH sides. WW-II was basically a money-making venture.

It goes a LOT further than just WW-II, tying in the murder of JFK and 911.

Both GM and Ford had plants in Germany. The plants produced vehicles for the German military but were seized when the US joined the war and continued producing vehicles, notably the Opel “Blitz” truck.
The automobile corporations received reparations for damage done to their factories by Allied bombing.
Ford was the worst. Hitler had a picture of Ford on his office wall.

[Little Ray]

Coke was originally intended as a medicine.

“At first, the company advertised Coca-Cola as a drink that relieved mental and physical fatigue, and cured headaches.”

[Jonty30]

If you tell the Democrats that, they won’t know what to do.

[SkyDancer]

Or Ford for his anti-Semitism (adored Hitler) and refusal to send airplane engines to England at the beginning of WW2.

[Yorlik803]

It was loaded with cocaine. Of course that would put a little pep in your step.

[Paal Gulli]

What about Bayer pharmaceutical? It was the only division of IG Farben — the company that manufactured Zyklon B — that the WWII Allied tribunal allowed to survive. So naturally all the executives at IG Farben reassigned themselves to Bayer.

[Shery]

Ford was a huge supplier to both Germany & Russia (after the war). They are Socialists through and through. If you look at most of the philanthropists since WWII, you’ll note that they are Socialist-leaning. They support groups that outright Marxist/Socialist and throw a few dollars only to conservative-leaning groups so they cannot be accused of being biased. The numbers of dollars spent tell a lot!

[C210N]

Very interesting.

What about Volvo?

Volvo used to make excellent cars till it was bought by Ford.

Cabal corporations are very incestuous, with each investing in many others, all tentacles of the same organism.

Note post 19. Mostly German companies, but a number of prominent American names. Didn't know about the origin of Fanta. No, Fanta isn't being canceled, it's a good Nazi drink.

From the article

Did you know that Nazi Germany was one of Coca-Cola’s biggest markets? Have you ever seen an official Coca-Cola advertisement promoting the company’s partnership with the Nazis during the 1936 Olympics under a jingoistic tagline — “One people, one country, one drink, Coke is it” — that would have made Adolf Hitler proud? No?

Does Coca-Cola not highlight its financial history with Nazi Germany when crowing about its racial purity tests today? Or the fact that Germany’s inconvenient declaration of war against the United States made it sufficiently difficult for Coca-Cola to maintain its prominent reputation within the Reich that the company’s German representatives repurposed the operations of hundreds of bottling plants toward the production of a new drink called Fanta to serve thirsty German soldiers throughout the war? Does the Coca-Cola Company not brag about Fanta’s wartime genesis as a Nazi beverage? How strange.
