Costco recently removed a popular pimento cheese brand from 120 of its stores after the owner called the Black Lives Matter movement a "terror organization" on his public Facebook.

In reaction to the murder of two local residents, Brian Henry, founder of Palmetto Cheese and mayor of Pawleys Island, South Carolina, took to Facebook on Aug. 25 with a message many residents considered to be racist in nature. Although the post has since been deleted, screenshots circulated social media calling on customers to #BoycottPalmetto.

Even though the mayor 'apologized' it's worth remembering what triggered this entire thing: the senseless killing of white people by a black guy.

You're entirely missing the point!

No I didn’t madam


‘Twas merely a jest inspired by my deep hatred of pimento cheese.


I stopped shopping at Costco as soon as the crazy Karen’s started panic buying on a daily basis back in March.

That is some legit good stuff. And costs more than gold at Publix. Wife is addicted, this could send me to the poorhouse....

Pimento cheese is a very southern thing! I don't go to Costco so I don't know if stores in my area in Yankeeland carried it, but I'll try to find it elsewhere. Even if I have to donate it to the local food pantry.

My best friend sells plastic packaging to the company (Duke Foods) that makes this cheese on behalf of the Henry family. My friend lost $20k a year in income and Duke Foods has laid off over 60 people because of this BS. The owners are flying out to Washington tomorrow to meet with the Costco folks. We don't anticipate it going well for them. It's a great product.

No doubt. CostCo had a great price on it too. By the way, it was on sale for $4.99 last week at CostCo. Hurry...you may be able to stock up before they run out.

Sounds like conservatives need to show their buying power once again. Terrorists will terrorize!
