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.
"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generation to do more and dream bigger," an archived version of the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 (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 Gaza,
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.
