Defending Goya Foods, UFC’s Jorge Masvidal Fights The “Woke Mob”
Forbes ^ | 11 July 2020 | Seth Cohen

Posted on 07/11/2020 4:32:27 PM PDT by DUMBGRUNT

... While doing so, the CEO also heaped praise on the President. “We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder,” Unanue said. “And so we have an incredible builder. And we pray. We pray for our leadership, our president, and we pray for our country, that we will continue to prosper and to grow.”

...on Saturday, Masvidol expressed support for Goya Foods, taking aim at the those calling for the boycott of the Spanish foods company and linking to a story about Goya donating a million pounds of food to at the time of 2018’s deadly Hurricane Maria that devastated Puerto Rico.

“Actions of @GoyaFoods speak louder than the #woke mob. My people don’t get influenced by those that don’t know. They’ve been helping our people when we needed it most.”

By stepping into the political arena and criticizing the “woke mob,” a derisive term used by many to describe those calling for boycotts or other social justice related actions, Masvidal has found himself as an ambassador for another kind of fight, one that can be as fierce as mixed martial arts. While it is obvious that Masvidal's perspective on Goya is grounded in both his heritage and his experience, it might be that its his popularity that makes his arguments in favor of the food company even more effective.

I don’t have any problem that he met with the Obama’s for some sort of food initiative and I would not have given it a second’s thought. But the leftists are a bunch of fragile crybullies.

That looks good!
We grow cilantro (coriander) but it does not last long.

Our local grocer occasionally has cilantro paste, in a tube like toothpaste, OK in the offseason.

Will check this out.
Thanks

Book just took $11,250 bet on Usman -225, now -230...

I’m not into sports betting.
Is there a simple, easy explanation.
One that would not make my brain hurt?

“I have bought Goya ever in my life.”

We have used them for a long time.
Garbanzo beans, black beans... the spices used are different and I prefer Goya.

Also helps, they tend to cost a bit less.

Try them, you might like it.

And that is why I prefer Goya canned beans.

The Hispanic gang fights back...

All this reminds me of prison life.

Goya’s on-air chef is pretty fine.

One thing about people of Spanish, Italian, or French ...

Unlike my forebears from Scotland.

I don’t know if they had as much to work with?
I do enjoy marrowfat peas!

“All this reminds me of prison life.

A very astute observation.

I have been thinking, the French Revolution with cellphones.
All the complaints to the Committee of Public Safety.

We may be moving into the Reign of Terror with (so far) less bloodshed.

” the French Revolution with cellphones “
That’s a good one!
Not as useful as it may seem IMHO, but a good meme nonetheless.

BLM seems to follow “prison rules” exactly to me (though I’ve never been in either).
Prison is the only developed society many Negroes have ever experienced. The Democrat Party has consistently blocked them from other societies for generations.

This stunt by the democrat racists will get 90% of Mexicans voting for Trump.

Let’s also mention that the democrat BLM racists attacked Mexican businesses and neighborhoods on May 31. The Mexicans set up barricades and manned them with men carrying AKs. Then the Mexicans beat the crap out of the black commie racists.

Needless to say, the nazi media spiked this story.

Very presentable but was hoping for a Tecate Ring Girl?

The Pico de Gallo, avocado and bean dip looked good too.

The Goya thing whips them into a frenzy! On a Weight Watchers FB page today, a woman posted a picture of a box of Goya bouillon and all hell broke loose. Those who said BUY Goya instead of BYE Goya were called racists and other nasty words.. It was a total TDS meltdown, spreading like wildfire. Finally the administrator took down the post. Lolol! Wow, does that get under their skin.

Buy some-you will like it-Goya products are more authentic Spanish-style than the stuff created for the WASP-type market -Goya products were in the kitchen cabinet at home when I was a little kid-their Sazon con Azafran seasoning really does contain saffron you can smell and taste, so you can use less of the expensive packaged dried saffron threads when you make paella, saffron rice, etc...
