Costco pulls Palmetto Cheese from 120 stores after owner calls BLM 'terror organization'

58. An elephant in the room asks this question:

Why was it necessary for Mr. Henry to mention race at all in his rant? If he wants to rant, it should be about gun violence in general.

Just remove the word "black" and "white" from his third sentence and nothing he says makes sense.

People are turning everyday non-racial incidents into racial click bait to push a political addenda...........

Local article on this issue, below. Henry sure stirred up a hornet's nest around the Low Country:

PAWLEYS ISLAND — Just feet away from where the Town of Pawleys Island usually hosts its in-person, bi-weekly council meetings, the NAACP doubled down on its demand that the town’s mayor, Brian Henry, resign immediately due to his referring to Black Lives Matter as a “terror organization” in a public Facebook post on Aug. 25.

Town council met via Zoom on Monday night, alleviating any potential showdown between the Georgetown chapter of the NAACP and the mayor. This was the second call by the NAACP for Henry to resign, the last occurring on Aug. 29.

With three dozen people in attendance on a sweltering Monday afternoon — with two holding signs that showed support for Henry — the tone of the NAACP’s planned protest was simple: It no longer trusted Henry to represent the best interest of the community.

I lived in that area for a while and it's one of the most deeply racist zones I've been around and I have traveled all over.

Pawleys Island has embraced the descriptive phrase "arrogantly shabby" for decades and Henry's rant is quite representative.
