In a fervent press conference yesterday, civil rights activist Al Sharpton called for a nationwide boycott of PepsiCo over its recent pullback on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, sources have confirmed.
Sharpton demanded that the company replace its polar bear mascot with a black bear to represent diversity better—except that the polar bear is famously associated with Coca-Cola, not Pepsi.
The mix-up occurred during a rally organized by Sharpton’s National Action Network, which aimed to pressure major corporations into maintaining robust DEI policies. “We will not stand for Pepsi’s white-washing of their brand! It’s time they showed true colors, and that starts with the black bear!” Sharpton declared, holding up a sign featuring Coca-Cola’s polar bear.
Attendees of the rally were initially confused, and murmurs spread as Sharpton’s aides hurriedly whispered corrections. Despite the gaffe, Sharpton pressed on, seemingly unaware of the error, which only fueled further mix-ups online and in the press.
As of press time, Coca-Cola had kindly reached out to Sharpton to clarify which company uses the polar bear, while Pepsi executives were reportedly watching the unfolding drama with a mix of amusement and relief.
Al Sharpton….the Curley Joe stooge of the democRATic party.
Why is this washed up race hustler even relevant anymore?
Sharpton is not relevant anymore. However, he’s in with the crowd of those who try to be: Clintons, Bush’s, Obama’s and others–so sad.
Why isn’t he in jail for Tax evasion? He owes millions to Us. I have to say is a huge Racist? To begin with Polar Bears are White and they have nothing to do with any human. When are these racist people going to give up. Not all people are Racist!
Sharpton ain’t so sharp… kinda like Whoopi who opined on TV that “Dr.” Jill Biden should be named the Surgeon General because she’s such a great doctor!
Is there something in their diet that affects them?
Nothing in their diet, they are all just so full of hate that their stupidity naturally comes out.
Mike: The only two things that they are filled with is hate and racism and both are symptoms of stupidity. So when one builds up enough it starts pushing the other out and then becomes more blantley obvious.
If al brawley sharpton is for it, then I am against it. If he was against Jesus being hung on the cross, I would then have to think about it.
You need to do a little research Al. Before going on camera. We all know what assume really means, and actually I don’t think black is a color.
This race baiting idiot has conned black people into many crimes of stupidity. And by this article braindead comes to mind. Sharpton is the Democrats and Clinton’s Uncle Tom .
Think people ! If he can owe back taxes of over $10 million dollars ! And that was over 10 years ago . And not one penny has he ever been paid back . Tax evasion sends you to jail .So the democrats use their useful fool to cause racism against whites. Because 90% of whites know who our enemies within are . Why can’t you owe that much in taxes ? You have to have a lot of money to owe that much. For a worthless bum who must be B Sanders black counterpart . Neither ever having broke a sweat on a real job . Or ever earned their own money Both men should quietly remove their lazy bums from the people. The truth will come out . Where did he get that money
Answer ! By conning blacks into thinking they should be given America . A land that The British brought blacks to this land . When they brought the slaves America was in a war to become a sovereign nation . And white people died in the Revolutionary War for the freedoms you think you deserve Africa sold its people . Get your reparations from them . And Sharpton was one that had no slaves in his family.
Why are Coke and Pepsi so accepting of what he said? If it was someone else (like a republican) they would want to bring charges! There sure is a double standard. If he really wants to be “inclusive” there should be a white, black, brown, etc. bear in the ad…pretty ridiculous!
Why no “yellow” or “pink” bears ? You haters ! BTW,, Polar Bears have black skin.
Sharpton is a fool and always has been. He cannot accept the fact that he is irrelevant- and needs to be gone. Everything that comes out of his mouth is just more stupidity. He and AOC and Jasmine Crockett are a disgrace to the USA. Every time I hear one of them speak-I just want to throw up-they are just disgracefully stupid
