They supported Nazi Germany against US embargo rules, inventing Fanta to keep business in the Nazi economy

Theyve had Columbian union organizers murdered by right wing militias

They've built an empire off of oppression.

And now they want to shame middle and working class white people for OUR sins of birth?

D'Angelo gets paid 10s of 1000s to white wash corporate criminals as social justice heroes.

All the profits from Fanta were kept away from the Nazi government by the American Coca-Cola managers in Germany and then handed over the parent company when the war was over.

they still contributed to the Nazi economy. They employed Germans against the US embargo and made profits from a people exterminating a number of populations at once.

Not quite IBM's level of evil, but still scummy.

Hiding profits to avoid taxes is what they do now in every country. They're going to hide behind "hurr tax shelters, me no support nazis"? How about you just don't setup shop in Nazi Germany as US law demanded of US companies.

You mean they employed Germans to make unhealthy diabetes-inducing drinks to other Germans instead of letting them go to the battlefield and kill Americans, or work in weapons factories that all demanded all the labor they could get?

Yeah right, really evil, specially evil when they handed all their profits to the US when the war was over.

The US embargo was on exports only, which is why Fanta was invented in the first place when the Coke syrup was no longer allowed to be exported. Coca-Cola did not violate any embargos.

The company was founded in Germany in 1923 ten whole years before the Nazis took over, and when US had good relations with Germany. You can't fault them for doing business in a friendly country.
