King Arthur Flour is getting boycotted—after conservatives discover it has a baking program for people of color

King Arthur Baking Company is coming under fire for holding a competition exclusively for people of color-owned businesses and brands.

According to the company’s website, “Baking Pitchfest 2024” offers a product edition geared toward baking brands founded and owned by people of color across the U.S., and a bakery edition, which focuses on people of color-owned bakeries in the Northeast and Washington state. “Half mentorship, half competition, Baking Pitchfest is an accelerator program designed to foster greater inclusivity and creativity in the baking world by providing equitable opportunities for People of Color entrepreneurs,” the website states, adding that winners will receive financial support, mentorship, and exposure. But the initiative has generated outrage amongst conservatives online, who have blasted the competition eligibility rules as discriminatory against white people.

One X user critical of King Arthur Baking’s contest posted an email she received from the company in response to her complaining. “Helping build joyful, equitable communities that celebrate diversity is an important part of who we are as a company,” the email states, later adding: “We love baking with anyone and everyone. Our simple expectation is that everyone show respect for one another.”

If you need more reason to support them, they’re worker owned.

Why employee ownership matters

Since 2004, King Arthur has been 100% employee owned. As a result, our company is built on a foundation of transparency and collaboration, a

You know, way too often I find articles talking about how the maker of some product I use is actually Evil. It's really nice to get the opposite.

Their product is also remarkably consistent! If you've ever baked something and it just didn't come out right, it's probably because the protein content of your flour wasn't the same as what the recipe author used. King Arthur has the protein content listed right on the bag, and you get very consistent results!

theres an old cold war joke that goes like this: a KGB agent and a CIA agent meet up for drinks off the clock, and after a few drinks they start to talk shop. the CIA agent extols the strength of the Party's propaganda, "All your citizens believe the propaganda! it's incredible! So little dissent." and the KGB responds, "No my friend no, we are good at what we do, but you are the true masters of the art. No one at all questions your propaganda!" to which the CIA agent says, confused, "What do you mean? We don't have propaganda?"

to be honest I think working on a sewing machine strains my eyes as much as being on a computer does. However, I am incentivized to remain alert and focused by keeping my fingers within stabbing distance of a needle making 60 stitches per minutes.

@luxlightly I wanna meet your junki deathmetal ultrafuck, they sound capable of sewing me a tool pouch.

It's a Juki TL-2000Qi semi-industrial sewing machine and it can probably sew through solid steel.

It does exactly two things, a forward straight stitch and a backward straight stitch, and you'll be GODDAMN grateful it even lets you do that. You want to do zig zags? Get fucked.

Threading it takes about 10 steps and feels like trying to defuse a bomb. It's got a side fed bobbin case that takes an additional 3 or 4 steps to thread. If it's not sharp or strong enough, it'll snap through a heavy duty needle and without even slowing down, no matter stopping, sending the tip flying through the air at speeds capable of sending a piece of straw through a telephone pole. It's compatible with exactly 0 of any other parts from any other brand machine except sometimes needles and it has a palpable air of bloodlust surrounding it.

But it'll sew through 4 layers of denim like a hot knife through butter.

I already loved the design of Balahara. It's a crocodile thing with a face like a tricone drill. It buries in the sand and makes pitfalls like an ant-lion. It even has a corkscrew tail for more digging.

But I've also just realised something fantastic!
