Penzeys, a Wisconsin-based spice retailer, has accused the Republican Party of embracing racism for backing Donald Trump.
“The open embrace of racism by the Republican party in this election is now unleashing a wave of ugliness unseen in this country for decades,” wrote Penzeys CEO Bill Penzey in an email to customers. “The American people are taking notice.”

Then I assume this CEO doesn’t want “ racists” business.
North Korea will welcome you relocating your business there. Now GTFO my country, racist.

Penzeys is full of sh*t.
Variety is the spice of life. And there is plenty of other spice companies.
The delicious irony is that his sister runs a separate, nonaffiliated spice company which is deliberately and outspokenly nonpartisan, and she is making every effort to scoop up the spice buyers her moronic brother is alienating.
Send it right to the CEO
As a racist, why do I need anything more than plain mayo and white bread? - heh!, heh!
I will take advantage of the GOOB sale at the store in Sarasota.
Hillary’s not white? I thought I was a sexist for voting against a woman and now I find out I’m racist too.
Trump supporters have been taunting cops: “Pigs in a Blanket Fry ‘em like bacon” and defending cop kills.
They also have been beheading Christians and throwing gays to their deaths off of tall buildings.
Oh, darn it. That was Black Lives Matter and the Islamic Terrorists!
Cottonball, is your spice business up and running?! ;)
So I’m a racist, what else you got?
Don't give this guy or his company the time of day or the money out of your wallet. He's already told you what he thinks of all you deplorable "racists" out there who elected Trump.
Give him the big, middle Flying Fickle Finger of Fate in response.
Examples, please.
Just added them to my ban list.
Double banned the company.
They are very expensive. I recommend finding a local ethic market, like an Indian one and shop there. You don’t get the fancy packaging, but you usually get double the amount for 1/2 to 2/3 the price of these other guys.
I’ve never understood CEOs who deliberately piss off half of their potential customer base. Starbucks, Target, Penzys ... The list is long and growing.
Duke Atreides is not amused.
Seeing stuff like this makes me realize my father’s wisdom in such matters. He and his brothers owned a retail shop in Massachusetts. Although he could be strong in his political opinions, he would never express them in any public forum. I often wondered why, even when a close friend of the family was running for mayor of our city. My dad explained that he didn’t think it was proper for a business owner to be publicly stating opinions best left private.
One of many great life lessons he taught me over the years.
