White Bakers Banned From Competition

The King Arthur Baking Company is hosting a competition for bakeries and the winner gets a lot of dough.

It’s called “Baking Pitchfest 2024.” Winners get mentorship from other bakers and financial support for their bakeries.

It sounds like a great opportunity for the pastry and pie crowd. But there’s just one catch. *No white people are allowed to enter the competition.*

Only bakeries that are owned by persons of color are allowed to participate.

King Arthur Baking Company 2022 Impact Report

Check out the bit at the top about the company's involvement in getting the Vermont legislature to pass the Universal School Meals Act.

Note to KAB: You're awfully free with other people's money, aren't you...

The more people of color that isolate tjemselves(POC competitions, dormitories, etc), the less POC will be around white people. Is that good or bad?

Same.

I bake quite often and pay more for KA bread flour and all purpose flour.

No more.

EVER.

I wonder how much money KAB will make and/or how big a tax benefit KAB will derive from the passage of the Universal School Meals Act...

"People of Color" Negroes using wheat flour for ANYTHING is cultural appropriation. The very presence of negroes in a baking competition is racist.

The contest is one of many that the company sponsors. They are marketing to a specific demographic - as many companies do. It is not indicative of a war on white people.

King Arthur sponsors over 150 baking contests all over the country.

Winners receive financial support, brand exposure, and mentorship to help accelerate their businesses.

Yes, it is.

Is there a "Whites only" baking competition? You know bloody well there isn't, and if there was you'd be whining about racism. QED.

Yep ... racist from beginning to end.

From your link:

Impact Topic: Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI)

So ... when do the "cease and desist" letters and lawsuits from the perverts at Disney start?

LOL. Good question.

I really hope someone takes a deep dive into KAB’s involvement with that legislation.

An earlier version of the law provided for districts to get around having to allow public comment.

Nice.

The facts that he put out are absolutely damning not only of King Arthur Baking Co, but also of the “B Certification” racist organization of which it is a part.

Are you certain this is true? I mean: FLOUR. Like, okay...like one of those old jokes your grandpa would tell. About, oh, I dunno....a speed-baking contest, colored folks only. The white flour flying.

All right, I’ll stop.

Thanks. I sent them this email:
Titled “Baking competition “

“So you’re making a baking competition that segregates? More leftist divisive lies… you’re the problem in the country. You are the cause of this division because you base everything on skin color.
How baking has become a racial thing can only be caused by ignorant leftists.
I will never buy from you…
Thank You”
