Coca-Cola Quietly Removes Black Lives Matter Support Amid Criticism From Ted Cruz
|
[EpochTimes] Coca-Cola appeared to remove a post about Black Lives Matter over the past weekend.
Coca-Cola appeared to delete a paragraph on its website that supported Black Lives Matter, coming as Black Lives Matter drew controversy for backing Hamas
 ...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
"Earlier this month, Sprite announced a $500,000 contribution to the Black Lives Matter Global Network in a social post committing action in the fight for racial justice. On June 28, the brand debuted a new TV commercial during the 2020 BET Awards telecast showcasing Black America’s resilience, excellence and optimism. The 60-second spot titled ’Dreams Realized’ emphasizes Sprite’s commitment to making young Black creators’ dreams a reality and to inspire the next generation to do more and dream bigger," an archived version of the Coca-Cola-owned Sprite website page says.
A current version of the web page omitted that paragraph, suggesting the beverage giant deleted it. It appears changes were made to the web page on Oct. 20 and Oct. 21, according to Archive.org records.
The Epoch Times has reached out to Coca-Cola, which has not addressed the matter publicly, for comment on Sunday.
It came after Sen. Ted Cruz;
 ...US Senator from Texas. Republican contender for president in 2016, his stiff and abrasive manner earned him the title most hated man in the Senate. After a close win over Beto O'Rourke , who tried to out-Lastino him, he grew a beard and let his biting wit shine through. Cruz's comments have been known to leave life-threatening wounds at better than forty feet...
(R-Texas) made reference to the Coca-Cola website and tied its support of Black Lives Matter to backing Hamas, a U.S. State Department-designated terrorist group that carried out multiple attacks on Israel earlier this month that left hundreds of civilians—including children—dead. Israel has responded by embarking on a bombing campaign of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
, where Hamas operates.
"CAUGHT RED-HANDED. [Coca-Cola] deletes its support for BLM. One screenshot is of [Coca-Cola's] website before BLM supported Hamas parachuting into a concert to kill Israeli civilians," Mr. Cruz wrote on social media website X. "The other is from this morning. Editing your website is not enough. Americans DEMAND an apology."
On his podcast, "The Verdict," he criticized Coca-Cola and other companies days before that for their support of Black Lives Matter in the wake of the Hamas attacks.
Last week, he also made reference to the corporate support in another post on X: "For every corporate donor who sent millions to BLM—including Amazon, Apple, BlackRock & Bank of America—do you regret supporting such a virulently antisemitic organization?"
"Do you support Black Lives Matter’s Marxist agenda supporting Hamas? Are you antisemites? Do you support that we need to end Israel?" the Texas senator asked.
It came after a Black Lives Matter group wrote on X—days after the Hamas attacks—that it backed the group and Paleostinians.
"As Black people continue the fight to end militarism and mass incarceration in our own communities, let us understand the resistance in Paleostine as an attempt to tear down the gates of the world’s largest open-air prison," BLM Grassroots wrote on Oct. 9. "As a radical Black organization grounded in abolitionist ideals, we see clear parallels between Black and Paleostinian people. For lasting peace to come, the entire apartheid system must be dismantled."
Around the same time, a Black Lives Matter chapter in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
posted a more supportive backing of Hamas. It stated, "I stand with Paleostine," and included an image of a parachuting individual with the Paleostinian flag. That post was later deleted.
There have been reports and video footage of Hamas faceless myrmidons using parachutes and other airborne devices in a series of surprise attacks on Oct. 7.
After deleting the post, the group wrote that "we sent out [messages] that we aren’t proud of. We stand with Paleostine [and] the people who will do what they must to live free. Our hearts are with the grieving mothers, those rescuing babies from rubble, who are in danger of being wiped out completely."
Outside of the corporate world, some U.S. colleges have also grappled with students' support of the Paleostinians and Hamas. In one prominent example, the Wexner Foundation, a nonprofit founded by billionaire Leslie Wexner, broke ties with Harvard University after students at the Ivy League college circulated a letter signed by students saying that Israel was entirely responsible for the attacks this month.
