    Costco reportedly yanks Palmetto Cheese from shelves after founder says Black Lives Matter is a 'terrorist organization'

    https://www.theblaze.com/news/costco-palmetto-cheese-blm-terrorist-organization

    hyperlink above has story

    snip

    Costco will reportedly no longer sell Palmetto Cheese in at least 120 of its stores after Brian Henry, Palmetto Cheese's founder, said that the Black Lives Matter organization was a "terrorist organization."..........................

    Henry's remarks were purported to be in response to the news of a murder of two residents in Georgetown, South Carolina.

    The Facebook read, "I am sickened by the senseless killings in Georgetown last night. 2 innocent people murdered.

    end snip

    the offense by this man; he spoke out about a black man killing 2 white people and the lack of outrage by the news media. I guess Costco is "woke" and feels that speaking out about murder is more disgusting and vile than the murder itself.

    wokeness

    what say you all about this?

    The old adage about talking religion and politics applies.

    Run your mouth in a hyper partisan or racist way, and you can expect some customers to desert.

    Yeah, stick with the box stores that pay minimum wage and run seminars teaching their employees how to apply for government benefits!

    The Palmetto Cheese man sees reality better than the Costco man.

    I'll go where ever the hell doesn't support the terrorist group BLM. If you are bitching about making minimum wage, then bitch to your politicians that raised corporate taxes which sent a lot of jobs to China and also left the borders wide open at the same time. Supply and demand. And I'm all for getting rid of government benefits. Sink or swim bud.

    yup

    mentioning murderers and terrorists is way more outrageous than the murder itself

    thanks for confirming that

    Costco pays well and has good benefits, but this only makes it marginally better than Walmart and similar. The bulk of what we spend there still gets funnelled out of our local economy. Shop local mom-n-pop whenever possible, they put more money back into where you live.

    Why do all these outfits get involved in these political battles? If I owned a service oriented business (Which I did years ago) I could care less what your race, politics or religion are. Now I gotta' put Costo on my boycott list with Starbucks and Facebook.

    I'm not here to hold your hand and look every thing up for you. If you don't believe the answer, confirm it for yourself.

    You made (up) the claim.

    If you’re refusing to back up your own claims, it’s fairly obvious that you made it up again.
