Boycott !
Plenty of CEO’s jumping on the bandwagon. Even the CMSgt of AIr Force got in on it with his rant.
Shakedown? Oh yes. Certain groups have made it an artform.
That is what caused the home loan bank bubble.
The problem is that the SPLC, Rainbow Coalition, BLM etc. are effectively shake-down artists, capable of sometimes crippling a company with negative publicity or debilitating lawsuits. There are few companies of any prominence that are completely clean on this score.
In 2016, one of the reasons I had not originally supported Donald Trump was that he gave money to Ted Kennedy’s campaign. In his book, the “Art of the Deal”, he praises Cuomo. The donations, I now understand as part of the cost of doing business in Manhattan construction. It is effectively a tax on anyone who wants to play in that game at a certain level.
I have heard enough stories about those who don’t emplot union labor on construction projects in Chicago. Those guys know how to sabotage your project and just break things, plus their connections make your life next to impossible with the inspectors.
I don’t know what pressure, if any , was brought t bear on King Arthur Flour, or if this was just the work of someone in a department who has say over such things free-lancing with the company’s charities.
I just know that it is next to impossible to boycott everyone who funds the bad guys like SPLC.
For my part, I just stick with boycotting anything that funds Planned Parenthood, who wants to be at the same level as PUSH and SPLC, and have a scalp with Komen Foundation, and others when practicable. That especially includes companies that not only manufacture in Red China, but are really owned by the Communist government (e.g. Huawei, Lenovo).

Home cooking is racist.
“They are from Vermont. The only state I boycott everything from.”
Does that apply to Cabot Dairy? Only good tasting whipped cream I could find, natural vanilla used.
Nothing is as bad as Penzey’s.
Awww...crap....I’ll order no more stuff order from them
That might be raciss..lol!
The Left are graduates of the Jessie Jackson / Al Sharpton
University of Bilking

“emplot union labor on construction projects”.
You mean like Jimmy Hoffa?
I like their cheese.
This is SO effing annoying!
The Socialist Democrats ruin everything I love in life.
EVERYTHING!
Screw You, King Arthur!
King Arthur is a pawn.
Funny, I started to type White Lilly Flour is far superior! Figured someone would think I am sending some bird whistle special code as White Lilly Flour Supremacist.
*groan*
Customer service line even admits they are getting SLAMMED with phone calls.
“Nothing is as bad as Penzey’s.”
Bump! Having lived in and around, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ that is the TRUTH!
The owner, Bill Penzey is 100% certifiable! A RABID LibTard!
His Sister however, keeps her politics to herself:
