It's not caving if the local/state government won't help you if your business is looted and burned. It's easy to call someone a cuck if you aren't in his position. Do you think he actually changed his mind?

First off his shit isn't burned OR looted...

You're right...it's easy to call someone a "cuck" if you're not in their shoes...BUT WHAT IF YOU HAVE CONCRETE, IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE? Whether he changed his mind is irrelevant...he caved. If he didn't truly believe he shouldn't have said it. If he did mean it he should have stood by it. We won't get anywhere with wishy-washy stances.

According to The Sun News of Myrtle Beach, Henry apologized at a news conference and called his comments “hurtful and insensitive.” He also asked people calling for a boycott of Palmetto to reconsider.

“There is a concerted effort to boycott Palmetto cheese,” Henry said. “Please consider the hundreds of South Carolina jobs that depend on its success. We humbly ask for your support.”

The Palmetto Cheese website, www.pimentocheese.com, says it is the top-selling pimento cheese in the U.S. and sold at 9,100-plus stores in 44 states and Washington, D.C. The website also talks about how the company is "evolving and listening to its community."

The brand has begun rebranding to remove the image of Vertrella Brown, a Black cook who popularized the product, from the packaging.

"We understand action is necessary to embrace change within our organization and we are committed to making an impact internally and within the community," a statement on the website says.

Palmetto Cheese isn't the first to begin a rebranding effort in recent months amid Black Lives Matter protests after the death of George Floyd. Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben's, Cream of Wheat, Mrs. Butterworth's and the makers of Eskimo Pie have announced plans to rebrand away from names that are rooted in a more racially divided era of America's history.

"A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still."

What I see is a guy who did whatever he had to do to keep his business from being financially destroyed by the woke mob. He's a victim. Not a hero by any means, nobody's claiming that.

So don't blame the victim, blame the bad guys - the woke mob.

He's only a victim of his own decision-making in the first place! Don't take a public stance on something to just turn around and bow in the face of pressure. It doesn't matter what he "believes"...what matters is having a fucking backbone. I'm not going to feel sorry for this guy. The Goya guy didn't cave. He made a statement and stood by it.

Good point. People who like pimento cheese are going to buy it regardless, imo. It's easy enough to make at home but not as easy as buying a good quality product.

You don't have hundreds if not thousands of employees you will have to send back to their families without a job. I get that you want to poke him with a stick and say "C'mon, criticize BLM again!" But as entertaining as that would be for us, and as just and right it would be cosmically, it's a battle he doesn't have to fight, and has nothing to do with selling pimento cheese spread. His best hope is that others will fight the battle and expose BLM as a terrorist organization, so that he is free to speak again without harming his employees.
