[quote:rccola:MV80Njk4ODEwXzg1NTMwMzQ3XzExQkExMDc1] [quote:Anonymous Coward 74827762:MV80Njk4ODEwXzg1NTMwMTQ3XzEyM0VDNDFC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 72615835:MV80Njk4ODEwXzg1NTMwMDI5X0EyMUUyNEFE] I rarely see a black drinking coca cola. They always went for off-brand grape soda. [/quote] I'm guessing Coca-Cola attracts a mainly more modest-income, less well educated consumer, people who tend to be apolitical to liberal/leftist and think that "progressive" platitudes - from either a politician or a corporation - are somehow nicey-huggy, nicey-huggy. Such members of the elite are more likely to cackle, "We came, we saw, you got diabetes." [/quote] I think that liberals think that they now hold all of the cards and are invincible now. If we give them an inch they will steal a mile. For instance those gun bills 5717 and 127 it's now or never for them. [/quote]
Original Message
Coke will withhold 30% of fees owed to law firms that it uses if those firms don't meet Cokes self imposed quotas.
Coke wants to achieve 50% of billable hours specifically to blacks.
"“We will no longer celebrate good intentions or highly unproductive efforts that haven’t and aren’t likely to produce better diverse staffing,” General Counsel Bradley Gayton wrote. “It’s the results that we are demanding and will measure going forward.”
"But Coca-Cola’s is taking rare extra steps by making withheld payments nonrefundable and specifically looking to elevate Black outside lawyers. Gayton said in the letter to firms that the industry’s current efforts “are not working.”
