It definitely was part of their training, though through a 3rd party. You're right about having no evidence it was said though. But... if you're willing to do the first part..
There was a screenshot... even though it might be fake... it is still evidence. The upper management's responses to it are also evidence. They didn't deny the accusation... they made excuses (not a major part of the training).
You haven't read their response then. Or you aren't familiar with how corporations issue statements, which is a learned skill admittedly.
I work for a large business. I have to take 2 "diversity and inclusion" classes each year. I could go my entire career and not know a class like this was an option because there are so many. There are so many because these large corporations outsource to numerous firms dedicated to creating this content and then they rubber stamp it because, hey, it's not their own industry, that's why they're outsourcing to begin with. It's entirely possible coke wasnt even aware that this was the content. Because it's a 3rd party source, they can easily say "it wasnt our training", but you're still directing your employees to this content, I feel like you own some responsibility for that. You know damn well how the left would be acting if they got directed to anything remotely right wing, they wouldnt give a f if it was 3rd party of not. Shouldn't they have done some due diligence in what ideas they're supporting an audience for? Regardless of active/passive, direct/indirect, intentionally/accidentally, mandatory/encouraged?
I was just looking for a spot to call attention to his yellow teeth. How would you describe them coca-cola yellow, or pre-rot tan?
Someone once told me when coca-cola was first made - real cocaine was an ingredient, he said they had to de-narcotize the cocaine in order to keep selling it.
Well, they admitted it was part of their course so, #1 youre wrong. If the CEO said this i duno but he wouldve corrected the record by now if not. This is about a week old now.
We appreciate your message. Please be assured that the video and images attributed to a Coca-Cola training program are not part of the Company’s learning curriculum. Our Better Together global training is part of a learning plan to help build an inclusive workplace. It is comprised of a number of short videos, each a few minutes long. The training includes access to the LinkedIn Learning platform on a variety of topics, including on diversity, equity, and inclusion. The video in question was accessible on the LinkedIn Learning platform, but was not part of the Company’s curriculum. We will continue to listen to our employees and refine our learning programs as appropriate.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Your comments have been heard and shared with our leadership teams.
Edit: I just want it known in not with cokee this is their response to my email to them. Lol I just wanted to let y'all see their bs statement but I guess blast me to oblivion too for it I will gladly be collateral damage for this
We've heard it for over a decade and our grievances, issues, and warnings have been laughed off and dismissed. You should've been more careful with who you associate with, the way I'm sure you are for not offending other groups. You all had ample warning. We can remain stubborn longer than you can remain financially stable
Fair enough. I'm in complete agreement. Wife and I have been Amazon free for 2 months now. There's so much I guess I completely forgot about Pepsi's past actions.
Here's an idea...the profit margin on coca crud is ridiculous, 5 cents to make it, 5 cents to botte it...
Someones starts a new American Cola, and price is below coke...5% to vets and American causes, branch into cokes energy drink line, how hard can it be to make an energy drink?
Better yet--and a great idea--switch to Goya Foods (he's a good guy being boycotted for supporting President Trump) and buy his Red Bull instead of that tooth-melting "other" brand.
I forgot, what was the name of that other brand? I know it rhymed with "woke". . .
My last job as with a distributor, and they decide what hits the shelves. But Coke is its own distributor, so any regular distributor is a competitor to them. We had all of the exotic sodas and RC. RC is what the bars use because it's cheap for mixing.
Store brand is better than that crap, coke is just too syrupy. And it's still just sugar water anyway. If we all cut it out cold from our lives it would be no loss whatsoever to society. Perhaps even a net gain.
I hate the shit coke did, but you know Pepsi probably does the same shit.
where is the non-woke soda company?
Don’t respond with. “I don’t drink soda” or “soda is bad for my yeast infection” or other pussy shit. I need the name of a high fructose corn syrup merchant
When we have evidence of Pepsi doing the same we will act. If they are, they're not going under the radar much longer. If anything, the Coke situation may scare them into not doing the same.
We dont need to teach them all a lesson directly. We just need to obliterate a few big ones and the rest will be afraid to have the same happen to them.
Imagine if we made Amazon stock drop 10%. The rest would run in terror as though we dropped Goliath himself
Coke was my fave, it's the only drink I actually drink because it doesn't go flat right away. I drink probably 4 16 ounces bottles a day along with red bull. I'd rather drink water now. Pray for me I'd going to have one hell of a caffeine headache but Coke has crossed the line and pissed me the fuck off. My brother actually works for Coke, they tried to make the employees watch the new training video and they walked out and told them they want no part of that shit. He still works there for now because he has a family to support and a new baby due next week but he's looking for another job! fuck coke! Man I freaking hate drinking water this is going to suck ass.
I used to drink that much soda a day. Taking a break might not be the worst idea. I've cut back on soda immensely and when I do grab a big fountain soda on a road trip it tastes even better than when I smashed 2-3 a day. Not to mention I'm not as fat, lol.
I'll occasionally get a 0 cal energy drink(bang) and dont feel bad about it. The days of 1000s of calories worth of soda a week are over for me.
Just remember that Coca Cola now doesn't just hate white people, andybody who doesn't hate white people is a right wing nut to them. We need capitalist gulags for these.
Been following stonks recently (some skin in the game, but not much). Been pulling up current stock tickers of products that should be dropping due to bad woke marketing campaigns or policies. We're just not doing enough to break these sons of bitches where it hurts them🥵
Well yeah. Think of how many boomers are out there who arent paying attention. All they see right now is "oh look, KO is down $1, good time to buy this century old dividend stock!"
It wont hit masses until accounting reports come out and revenue starts trending down. Then begins to slow death of investors wondering about their long term holdings. War is a campaign, not a battle
Same with Disney. Did anyone else notice that they announced firing Gina Carino on the same day they released quarterly reporting? It wasn't a coincidence. They are hoping we'll be good little sheeple and buy a subscription again before the next release in 3 months.
People don't realize it's a global brand and the US is just a tiny part of that. In fact US consumption of sodas has decreased drastically in the last US in the last decade. My last job was with a distributor and that's all they could talk about. What's saving them (distributors) is people like expensive beer now.
We certainly can make a dent and you dont even need much to big with. Just enough to get investors skiddish. Then we just watch the snow ball go down the hill
Wife and I are renewing our commitment to get physically fit. I'm a huge soda addict and I've known for years I needed to drastically cut back on soda or even cut it out all together.
Coke just made it super easy for me. Thanks, Coke!
Yeah, when you have people in their world countries that have an easier time finding a bottle of coke over clean water, then you know your brand is pretty safe.
Even if this is true: A Leftist and his Identitarian friends would get off on that, he's much more powerful SJW than ever before.
Likewise, they started spraying ejaculates all over each other the day a Jewish CEO declared 'Gay and Lesbian Day' at Disney and he did this thing like in those 'Highlander' movies as he leveled up a level of demon power.
This "right wing nut" has been drinking a Coke a day, sometimes two or three a day, for decades. I'm done. I know it wasn't particularly healthy but kept drinking it out of habit. These assholes just gave me a good reason to get healthier.
Caffeinated tea will help you come off of it. At least it will help with the caffeine headaches. I came off my diet coke habit in the hospital, and the headaches were the worse part. After that something like Cascade water for the carbonated bev habit.
Also, for many decades and company presidents, the golden rule of the Coca-Cola company was be general, don't take sides..... because taking sides hurts the bottom line.
Not sure if the history is supposed to be a dig at him because they’re saying it was founded by radicals, but the confederates were Democrats who enslaved their fellow man
Soda is not good for you but if you drink it you can easily replace Coke with Shasta or any other no name brand. You have no excuse for supporting this shit company any more.
If you really want to cancel coke remind the left that their board is practically all whites and all males, and dredge up any “racist” past history they have. Then feed it to the press. Watch them eat shit and burn.
We're the nuts? Says this racist.
They expect minorities to continue destroying their health by drinking coca cola. I hope they are wrong!
It’s not even certain that:
A:) Coca-cola had this training as part of its course.
B:) The CEO said this

Thank, just gave the video a downvote on YouTube.
Thanks for the idea pede
Upvote you, downvote coca-cola.
Who cares. Stop drinking their garbage.
Is there ANY evidence he actually said this?
If he would allow that training....yes.
He hasn't said he didn't..sooo
Say hi to dicks sporting goods on the way down
I still haven’t shopped in a Target since they allowed men in the women’s bathroom.
I just stop in to pee on the seats in the "womens" restroom.
I dont care for coke or diet coke, but they own so many brands including my fav, topo chico water. But hey, fuck coke, theres other water.
Fuck Woca Cola. I may not affect your company alone, but I'll sleep better.
Your teeth will thank you, too.
I was just looking for a spot to call attention to his yellow teeth. How would you describe them coca-cola yellow, or pre-rot tan?
Someone once told me when coca-cola was first made - real cocaine was an ingredient, he said they had to de-narcotize the cocaine in order to keep selling it.
They still use something from the coca plant in their formula to this day.

This made my disgust against the company even worse, I’ve been buying soda that’s not the Coca Cola brand since this.
Thought about Pepsi just to spite Coca Cola but recalled they’re woke too.
Sadly I still see many drinking the soda, but I live in Sweden and people probably are not aware of the racist statements.
And this is coming from someone who bought cola daily.
It’s not even certain that:
A:) Coca-cola had this training as part of its course.
B:) The CEO said this
Well, they admitted it was part of their course so, #1 youre wrong. If the CEO said this i duno but he wouldve corrected the record by now if not. This is about a week old now.
In the statement I looked up, they denied it being part of their course.

Condemn the "whites are evil" bullshit, or your company will die.
It's OK to be white.

Thanks for emailing them!
I've forced my house and my parents house to convert to pepsi
Switch to Caribou Mahogany k-cups or grind your own whole beans, and drink it black - live up to your Neanderthal heritage.

Sorry dude, they're everywhere. You're really going to just have to give up on TONS of shit you have been conditioned to enjoy.
This is the fight. Be happy it isn't involving bullets.
Fair enough. I'm in complete agreement. Wife and I have been Amazon free for 2 months now. There's so much I guess I completely forgot about Pepsi's past actions.
They are worse.
Here's an idea...the profit margin on coca crud is ridiculous, 5 cents to make it, 5 cents to botte it...

It’s not. The can it comes in costs more than the product. All branding.
Now get distribution and shelf/cooler space. Coke and Pepsi have a stranglehold on the beverage industry.
My last job as with a distributor, and they decide what hits the shelves. But Coke is its own distributor, so any regular distributor is a competitor to them. We had all of the exotic sodas and RC. RC is what the bars use because it's cheap for mixing.
Store brand is better than that crap, coke is just too syrupy. And it's still just sugar water anyway. If we all cut it out cold from our lives it would be no loss whatsoever to society. Perhaps even a net gain.
I've switched to drinking green tea!
I switched to drinking iced tea years ago.
More refreshing and doesn't make your mouth feel disgusting after you drink it.

https://www.okayplayer.com/originals/pepsi-black-lives-matter-conscious-branding.html Also, Coke has been pushing woke shit since I was a kid. Anyone else old enough to remember this: https://youtu.be/1VM2eLhvsSM
There’s a large message difference between “give the world a coke” - unity, and “be less white” - racism
Both are Kumbaya bullshit that don’t work in the real world.
Or make a new cola.
Maybe Mike Lindel Will make a cola brand. Such as it’s “OK to be white grape soda.”
He should give his job to someone less white
And less British
This will be a harder one to affect, since all the fat ugly leftists are drinking some sort of coke product too.
Whoever said 'Ive never seen a skinny person drinking a diet coke' was right!

Add lemon and sweetener. Or drink flavored water. You'll lose weight too. Carbonated drinks contribute to stores of fat in the body.
Try RC COLA. Much better than joke or lepsi.
Feeding his family comes first. An army marches on its stomach. Even if he sticks around, start leaking as much stuff anonymously as he can

While I haven't drank a Coke product since the news broke (because fuck them) I hate to say this but...... He's right.
The soda market is basically dead already in the US. Coca Cola makes the vast majority of it's money overseas.
