No white people allowed? So I suppose my bakery entry will be ignored.
In all seriousness, I hope many lawsuits blossom from this incident.

My email.
I do not support companies that discriminate against people because of their skin colour, religion, ethnicity or race.
Your act of racial discriminates to not allow people of European descent, because of their skin colour causes me to not want to purchase any of your products now or in the future.
Very unfortunate that your company has retread 1950 attitudes, with the only difference is the skin colour that you have chosen to discriminate against.
I receive their catalog in the mail but now i will tell to shove it up their arse.
Employee owned company from Vermont. No surprise, a reliably leftist populace. No idea how a Republican was elected Governor, but I suspect he is the Romney type of Republican.
Racism on parade.
File civil lawsuits, make them pay billions.
is black face ok?
I’m done buying King Arthur.
bye bye

Or change the name to “POC River Junction.”
Then compare the winners of both contests.

Non-white customers should be angry. This company basically is telling them they can’t compete successfully against white people which is patently absurd.
They promised to reply to my email.
Check out the bit at the top about the company's involvement in getting the Vermont legislature to pass the Universal School Meals Act.
Note to KAB: You're awfully free with other people's money, aren't you...
The more people of color that isolate tjemselves(POC competitions, dormitories, etc), the less POC will be around white people. Is that good or bad?

Yep.
We get their catalogs at the house. No more.
Are you certain this is true? I mean: FLOUR. Like, okay...like one of those old jokes your grandpa would tell. About, oh, I dunno....a speed-baking contest, colored folks only. The white flour flying.
All right, I’ll stop.
