Spice Company Loses Customers After “Republicans are Racist” Email
Republicans ‘raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person,’ Penzey’s Spices CEO wrote in a customer email.
Just two weeks after a Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based spice company held a “Republicans are Racist” sale over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, it is dealing with a massive loss of business and openly begging for new customers.
Penzey’s Spices CEO Bill Penzey, who routinely uses his company’s email list to send anti-Republican screeds, sent a newsletter earlier this month in which he accused GOP voters of fantasizing about killing African Americans.
“Remember how Republicans, going against a mountain of evidence to the contrary, once again lied and said BLM [Black Lives Matter] wasn’t a peaceful movement but instead terrorists inciting violence throughout the country and then raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person?” he wrote. “What a bunch of racists.”
In a follow-up email Friday, Penzey acknowledged this allegation had cost his business a substantial number of newsletter subscribers…
Penzey informed supporters that his “Republicans are Racists” email cost his newsletter 40,005 subscribers—approximately 3 percent of its total. While this was offset by 30,000 new fans, he explained, he still needs to make up for the lost business and is offering a deal on Penzey’s Spices gift cards to lure them in “with the hope this might make it a bit easier for you to share some and possibly get a few good new customers to replace the ones we’ve lost…”
“From what we’ve heard in the way of feedback a lot of our Republican customers wish we would stay out of politics but they are pretty honest about the problems with open racism in their party since President Trump took control,” he said. “So on one hand they wish we would tone down the racism thing but on the other hand we have really good spices and they are not going to sacrifice those.”
Unfortunately for Penzey, it turns out they did.

Filthy sick piece of meat is 💯 racist! They point the finger yelling “Racists!” elsewhere, NOT seeing their THREE fingers pointing back to them.
I recommend everyone write to each seller of this product and tell them to stop carrying it. If they think it is ok to drop My Pillow, then it should be fine to drop Penzey’s Spices.
I have already sent a message to Walmart, and will continue to notify other outlets as well.
Father God, please open people’s eyes and hearts and activate logical thinking processes you gave us. Just as the Democratic party has changed dramatically many times from 100 years ago, so has the Republican party. Only you, Father, and your word remain constantly loving and truthful. I pray your Holy Spirit permeates our Nation in a mighty movement. Forgive us, Lord; please give this nation’s citizens and leaders the wisdom we are lacking. Forgive us for turning away from you Word.
May your Holy Spirit be welcome in every state. May people walk into your churches and be slain in the Spirit as I remember from stories . This is a battle with Satan for America’s children & families in every segment of our nation. Change hearts, Lord; open eyes; thank you for guiding America these 243 years and your Son who knew us even those 2,000 years ago and your Holy Spirit whom we welcome today. Amen
BLM leadership have openly acknowledged that they are trained in Marxist tactics. They are not even ashamed to admit it.
Father the race “wars” have gone on too long. Father this article is evidence of “wars and violence of the heart” in the heart of the owner spreading his bitterness and hate yo his supporters who are feeding into it, it is another cycle of hate born of bitterness, even as the bible says a root of bitterness affects many. Father please help all Americans regardless of race to realize if they are not willing to part with their own inward bitterness and racism they are still contributing to the open problem. Father as followers of Christ we take our authority to curse the roots of all types of hatred. oppresdion, and unGodly control and manipulation in our society. Father many in the church have repented on behalf of our nation’s forefathers who supported slavery, owned slaves, and were well aware of the harsh conditions the slaves endured on ships after being stolen from their families and homeland. Who can deny that it was truly a sin sick inhumane business, and we as well as generations past realized it and sorrowed over it yet the problwm was so huge and spiritual that it took time to overcome it even as Israel suffered hundreds of years under Pharoah. We thank You Lord for Christian men like William Wilberforce whose involvement in the abolition movement in Britian was motivated by a sincere desire to put his Christian principles into action and to serve God in public life and we thank you fir his inspiration on British and American statesmen. He and other evangelicals were horrified by such a depraved and un-Christian trade, and the greed and avarice of the owners and traders. We thank you for caucasian men like them with prominence and power, and Abraham Lincoln, who gave their lives to end slavery here in the USA. Racism and violence are conditions of the mind heart and soul not a particular political party. No true Christian of any race can or would entertain such unbiblical thoughts. We thank you Lord for Dr. Martin Luther King and others who openly fought racism in a Christian manner, without adding to the problem advocating hatred and reverse discrimination.
Father deal with every American of every race who knowingly or unknowingly hold the violent attitude of racism and hatred in their hearts and who spread it to others, we declare exposure to that root of bitterness in them and we take our authority to curse it at the roots for their sake and our nation’s sake. Jesus and the apostles did not ask anyone’s permission to cast out unclean and evil spirits. Racism is hatred and bitterness and pure evil no doubt there are evil spirits involved in it. You are able to do exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask or think and we thank you for doing what we ask and we know it is your own good and holy spirit which motivates good and Godly prayers with authority, and you raise up good people to courageously and peacefully stand up publicly against all types wickedness and encourage others to do the same. Father deal with the spice company owner in YOUR time in YOUR way, give him the Holy Spirit conviction, wisdom, and discernment he needs to see the error of his way and his contribution to hatred and keeping racism alive in our society, that this is part of the problem of keeping it alive, it is not the solution. We thank you for hearing our prayers for him and all others who are deceived by any type of racism, hatred, and bitterness. Thank you.
