The Coke company was created by a man who fought for slavery, should the company be dissolved?

[themirrorthief]

This is an actual question, since it seems that merely holding a baseball game, in a state where they are trying to improve election security is considered racist, is not possible in Georgia.....then why shouldn't the company Coke-cola [sic], be dissolved. It was created by a former Confederate military officer of high rank, who fought in the war to keep blacks as slaves.....he is likely to have been a member of the democrat [sic] party as well.

On a side note....should Yale University be dissolved and its assets also given to minorities as reparations...since it was actually founded by not only a slave owner, but a slave seller and murderer?

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo no link. Predictable, since that would require proving one's title assertion.

To the question, should Coca-Cola be dissolved? Sure. But not for specious reasons you can't back up, for its shit product. Should its assets be distributed as reparations? Sure. To pay for diabetes treatments and dental bills.

And by the way --- you know how I'm always educating your ignorant ass on the fact that there's no such thing as "the democrat party"? Whelp, here we go again because there's no such company as "Coke-cola".

you dont exist either so go away

 

[themirrorthief]

The Company was named after the product, not the man who invented it.

You see your hypocriticalness drips from you.

What about The Pillow Guy.lolol

You're slippery slope is getting slimey......God I love it so

We are comparing someone from last week to someone from 125 years ago

thats the dem standard,,

democrats have standards?????????????????????????????? wtf, who knew

This is a lie.

The recently enacted Georgia election laws have nothing to do with ‘improving security’ and everything to do with suppressing the right vote – including the votes of those living in minority communities, individuals perceived by conservatives to be likely Democratic voters.

Private companies such as Coca-Cola and Delta Airlines are at complete liberty to speak out in opposition to laws undermining the right to vote, as is MLB at liberty to not hold its events in a state hostile to voting rights.

As for the idiotic notion of ‘dissolving’ a company because of its political speech, that would be a clear violation of the First Amendment and the right to free expression.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Democrats are angry because now it's harder to cheat.

Another lie.

Democrats don’t support ‘cheating’ – they oppose Republicans undermining the right to vote.

 

[struth]

Not to mention that it uses red and white in it's logo...colors used on the Confederate flag...it also promotes a white Santa, and uses white polar bears in it's ads at Christmas....clearly a sign of white Christian privilege.

 

[Blues Man]

The Company was named after the product, not the man who invented it.

So what?

I'm very surprised the SJNJ's haven't gone after Coca-Cola.

I don't think you're comparing apples and oranges here, it's more like mangos and wing nuts. I don't see what one has to do with the other.

A private entity - owners/managers - of a sporting event is making a decision to hold or not hold a game in an area...right? I'm assuming you are referring to a real event but you posted no link. Business' have often made decisions on where to conduct business or locate new headquarters based on more than simple math. The culture - as defined by various local laws influences decisions. Weren't decisions made in the past, to move events based on laws targeting homosexuals?

Georgia's laws are pretending to be about election security. Why isn't Georgia addressing the issue of long lines in mostly black communities?

What do these have to do with "security"?

Provisional ballots
Previously Georgia voters could cast provisional ballots if they showed up at the wrong precinct, and their votes still would count once the board of elections determined that they had cast their ballots in the right county.
The new law tosses out all out-of-precinct votes cast before 5 p.m.
The lawsuit brought by the voting rights groups argues that Black voters are more likely than White voters to move frequently. As a result, they are more likely to change precincts and show up at the wrong one on Election Day, activists argue.

Bans mobile units
Fulton County, where roughly 45% of the population is African American, bought RV-sized mobile voting units to encourage early voting and reduce long lines on Election Day.
The law now bans their use.

The law does address that. You obviously didn't know that. You've been lied to.

I like how blacks are held as too dumb to vote....by the democrat party.....

You would think blacks would get tired of being treated like children......by the democrat party...the party of racism and slavery.

Give us an example of voter suppression, from the actual text.

I like how you changed your title after I pointed out to you that there's no such thing as a "Coke-Cola" company. And you thought you'd just sneak that in and nobody would notice. Yet you still can't figure out political parties, either spelling or history thereof.

I also "like" how you completely ducked the question of any evidence that Pemberton, whose name you don't even know, "fought for slavery". As well as the other question of how you purport to know what his political affiliation was. With --- again --- no evidence at all.

Have they fired the racist guy who started the company yet?

 

[22lcidw]

What are you guys offended by now?

That Coke at the beginning tried to turn us all into drug addicts. It fits into Prog values.

Ok. Then why don’t you quit whining and just boycott them along with every other company that offends you?

Problem solved.

They are scared. They do not want to be called racists and have the elites after them. I know products exist with ads. Companies have moved far from wholesomeness and advertise like they are on drugs into the edges of social justice. You keep screwing with the nuclear family. And the costs to raise a child keeps going up.
