One of America’s biggest and best-known brands, Coca-Cola, was willing to “take a stand” for “racial justice” after the death of George Floyd in May 2020.
But apparently, the murders of more than 1,400 innocent Israelis have led Coca-Cola to take a step back, and then some, from the racial justice advocates who supported Hamas’ violent attack earlier this month.
While Coke is still woke, it’s gone zero BLM.
As the New York Post reported earlier this week, Coca-Cola scrubbed references from Black Lives Matter from its official website after BLM’s Chicago chapter cheered on the Hamas assault on Israel.

The erasure came after Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cuz ripped Coca-Cola for still promoting its charitable donations to BLM.
On its website, the Atlanta-based soft drink maker notes, “Beginning in early June 2020, the company displayed a message on the Times Square digital billboard in New York City saying Together We Must take action to start change, demand justice, admit we can do more, stand as one, right wrongs, listen and create a better future and end racism.”
“The sentiment was shared in social media as well, and ‘Together We Must’ has become our pledge and our push for our company and our brands,” the company said.
The blurb also included reference to Sprite once boasting that it gave $500,000 to the BLM Global Network as part of its “fight for racial justice” following Floyd’s death while in custody of the Minneapolis police, the Post reported.
Cruz, however, called for more than deleting some text.

“CAUGHT RED-HANDED. @CocaCola deletes its support for BLM,” Cruz noted in posting before-and-after screenshots of Coca-Cola’s editing job after BLM Chicago applauded the Hamas terrorists.
“Editing your website is not enough. Americans DEMAND an apology,” Cruz posted.
Cruz also raged about other companies on a recent episode of his podcast, “The Verdict.”
“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?” Cruz said on the podcast, according to Fox News.
“Do you support Black Lives Matter’s Marxist agenda supporting Hamas? Are you antisemites? Do you support that we need to end Israel?” he added.
