Coca-Cola Will Only Hire Law Firms If They Have Enough Black Lawyers — Details
Get woke, go broke.


Coca-Cola is taking this “woke” nonsense to a whole new level. And you know what generally happens when a company does something like this: they usually lose a good amount of money before eventually reversing course (however slightly).
Check this out, via The Daily Wire:
Coca-Cola debuted a new policy this year implementing a diversity quota for the outside counsel it retains, saying it will only hire law firms that commit to providing 15 percent of billed time from black attorneys, higher than the percentage of African Americans in the U.S. population.

On January 28, the soft drink titan’s legal department wrote a letter to the company’s U.S. outside counsel outlining Coca-Cola’s new requirement that law firms must “commit that at least 30% of each of billed associate and partner time will be from diverse attorneys, and of such amounts at least half will be from Black attorneys.”
CONTINUED:
Those requirements will tighten over time, with the “ultimate aspiration” that “at least” 50 percent of billed time will be from “diverse” attorneys, and 25 percent from black attorneys. Firms are expected to work to apply that standard to their existing work with Coca-Cola as well.
African Americans make up about 13 percent of the U.S. population. The percentage of black lawyers is much lower, African American attorneys making up just five percent of all U.S. lawyers, the American Bar Association reported last year.
Here’s some random Coca-Cola noise from Twitter…

John Andretti would have been 58 today #RIP
In 1994 John Andretti became the first driver to attempt "The Double": the Indy 500 & the Coca-Cola 600 in the same day.
He finished 10th at Indy & 36th in the 600 (engine trouble).#CheckIt4Andretti pic.twitter.com/WjleAAjGIT

I'm looking through the archives for info on a story I'm working on and keep coming across things like this. Apparently, COCA COLA parties were on the rage for bridal showers in the early '60s. pic.twitter.com/Uovp6bIwbh

From the moment that Joe Biden appeared poised to win the White House back in 2020, there were concerns that the border policies that he brought to the table would create a massive surge in migrants coming to America outside of the lead naturalization process. When Biden did finally find himself back in the West Wing, it was already too late. The massive influx of migrants had not only materialized, predictably, but the increase was so dramatic that this immigration crisis was soon a humanitarian crisis. Now, amid a slew of criticism already aimed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Joe Biden’s team is getting scorched by a law enforcement official on the border who believes that the administration is breaking a major promise. Mark Dannels, the Sheriff of Cochise County, Arizona, said on Wednesday that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is not keeping his promise to meet weekly with law enforcement who are dealing with a surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico Border. One week after making the promise, no meeting had been set up, Dannels told Fox News, adding that whether Mayorkas will support him and others will be the “true test” of his willingness to deal with the crisis: As previously reported by Fox News, Mayorkas met with sheriffs in El Paso, Texas, about the situation at the U.S. border last Thursday, during his third trip to the border since taking on his role in the administration. At the time, Dannels asked for weekly meetings with Mayorkas, which he told Fox News was agreed to. “Currently we asked [to meet with the Secretary] for once a week, whether that’s through zoom, conference calling, in-person, or whatever needs to happen based on where we’re at today with the border,” Dannels said. “So that’s in the process of being…

Man Turns Gun on Himself After Killing Eight at Indy FedEx Plant
The incident was chaotic, violent, and seemingly random.


Americans were once again a witness to tragedy this week, this time in the sturdy midwestern city of Indianapolis. Police are still in the thick of their investigation, but some of the facts have been made public already. Police scoured a Fedex facility in Indianapolis and interviewed scores of witnesses Friday in search of a motive for the latest mass shooting to rock the U.S., as family members of the eight victims spent agonizing hours waiting for word on their loved ones. Authorities identified the shooter as a young man in his 20s. They said they could not yet say why he opened fire with a rifle late Thursday night at a FedEx processing center near the Indianapolis airport. The shooter would turn the gun on himself as police closed in, and some are now suggesting that there may be a sinister motive. Police Chief Randal Taylor also noted that a “significant” number of employees at the facility are members of the Sikh community. Taylor spoke from a hotel where family members are awaiting word on their loved ones. He says he will stay with the families until they get more information. Eyewitness accounts seem to paint a picture of random, chaotic violence, however. Deputy Chief Craig McCartt of the Indianapolis police said the gunman started randomly shooting at people in the parking lot and then went into the building and continued firing. He said the gunman apparently died by suicide shortly before police entered the building. “There was no confrontation with anyone that was there,” he said. “There was no disturbance, there was no argument. He just appeared to randomly start shooting.” As of this writing, police have not publicly identified the shooter.
