Coca Cola Wants Everybody to ''Try to be Less White' Login/Join

The online course through linkedin that Coke employees were required to take has been taken down. Coke is denying that it was required and saying it was a miscommunication between management and employees to say that it was.

Coca-Cola doesn't have the conviction or spine to own up to what they did. Too late for them.

You know, I think I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. It could have been an honest mistake and as long as they stay off the woke road I'll give them a chance. If they were true SJWs they would have doubled down on the woke and never looked back.

Personally, I want the black community to be less black and start becoming more educated and literate and law abiding.

More educated would disrupt the public school system. Blacks and everyone else being properly educated would disrupt the whole liberal system.
Between the public education system and media, we're getting our asses kicked.

I haven't read all the replies here, so maybe it's been mentioned already, but can you imagine what the reaction would be if we were to tell "people of color" to quit acting like they're black.

Coke's pockets run deep and it took 17yrs to correct their previous product rejection. Still, I'll hurt 'em hard as I can.


One thing I noticed in '85 that when they reintroduced "Classic Coke" it had a different taste than the original formula. I chalked it up to the use of High Fructose Corn Syrup. It gave it a sweeter taste than the previous original formula. I contended at the time and still do that it made it easier for them to substitute HFCS for real sugar, the intermediate New Coke took the brunt of the blame so to speak and there was now enough lag time between original and Classic for consumers to not notice the big difference in taste.

That is when I switched to Dr Pepper. Coke Classic wasn’t the same. I still would have a coke on occasion but now they are dead to me like pro sports.

If coke can ask white folk to act less white, they should have no problem telling everyone else to act less black, brown, yellow, beige, or whatever. Seems fair.

I’ll wait...

While food shopping with the war department, I told the store manager she had to cover the signs that said "WHITE" bread and "WHITE" rice. Wife was not amused.
