In George Orwell’s dystopic novel 1984, the “memory hole was a small chute that led to an incinerator used to destroy documents, newspaper articles and anything that the “Party” wanted to erase from history. Fiction had become fact in the United States.
It reached a crescendo during the Black Lives Matter-Antifa riots after the death of career violent criminal George Floyd, who died of a drug overdose during a confrontation with police in Minneapolis. Prior to this incident, most police were considered heroes, but within a day of Floyd’s death, our nation’s enemies, which include the Corporate media, with a few exceptions, gave us the false narrative that the police were all part of a racist conspiracy to kill as many black people as possible.
“Mainly peaceful” riots ensued, leading to the deaths of dozens of Americans, with hundreds injured, and billions of dollars’ worth of damage- mainly to black-owned businesses. The riots were egged on by cowardly and anti-American politicians, including then-Massachusetts Attorney General, now Governor Maura Healey, and Vice President Kamala Harris, who helped raise funds to bail out the violent rioters. Harris called for more rioting while Healey equated the devastation to the burning of an old forest to ensure new growth.
The moral cowards who run most of Corporate America gladly took the knee to the domestic terrorist Black Life Matter (B.L.M.) They gave the proverbial middle finger to the nation that made their wealth possible while donating millions of dollars to B.L.M. that did absolutely nothing to help Black American but did enrich the national and local leaders of the group.
Food companies that had black, and even American Indians, pictured on their products quickly removed them, claiming that somehow these kind faces that many Americans had in their kitchen pantries and food shelves were responsible for the death of the career criminal in Minneapolis. So, pictures of beloved figures not only vanished, but white Americans were supposed to feel guilty about ever accepting such racism into their homes.
It wasn’t just the nation’s white policemen that were guilty of George Floyd’s death; it was a collective guilt that all of white America shared. Buying Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix or Uncle Ben’s Rice was all the evidence needed to convict one of racism and white supremacy. To deny one’s racism only proved it in the febrile minds of the Marxists weaned on the writings of Marxist Howard Zinn and Nikole Hannah-Jones. Corporate media’s hired and well-paid race baiters like Joy Reid, and Don Lemon were there to remind us of our racist and wicked ways.
What was the result of the censorship of these beloved black faces on the nation’s food products? Did it end racism? Did it heal our land? Is the black community more vibrant? No. All it did was divide us further. In my opinion, that was the intention. Our nation’s enemies don’t want healing and unity. They want hatred and division, and they are exceptionally good at creating it. If they can’t find overt racism, which is, thankfully, becoming more difficult, they will manufacture it. This is why they not only promote the narrative of racist statues, which includes statues of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, but also claim that roads and trees are racist. Yes, even being courteous and prompt are signs of systemic racism.
I am happy to report, however, that there are a few black faces that survived the Marxist purge. I was shopping at a local supermarket recently, and while I was about to throw a few cans of Boston Baked beans into the cart, lo and behold, there it was, a can of beans that had the face of a kindly Black man on it: Stubb’s Baked Beans. I promptly put a can in my shopping cart and went home to research this phenomenon.
I learned that Stubb was a nickname for Christopher B. Stubblefield, a decorated Korean War veteran who opened up a barbecue restaurant in Lubbock, Texas, in 1968.
By the early 1990s, he was selling his barbecue sauce across the U.S. He died in 1995, and his heirs sold the company to the McCormick Company for $100 million.
Further research led me to discover two more survivors: G Hughes and Cousin T’s
Guy Hughes started from humble beginnings, barbecuing in his backyard in Braceville, Ohio. In 2014, he created a sugar-free line, which is now worth $50 million. His products are sold all over the U.S.A.
Cousin T’s was founded by conservative Christian comedian Terrence Williams, who grew up in a foster home. He started his company in 2021, which sells a number of products including pancake mixes advertised as “The Pancake Mix the Left Can’t Cancel,” maple syrup, cornbread mix, and a new product, King Trump Fried Chicken Mix.
While I am not advocating boycotting products, I try not to patronize companies whose owners hate and wage war against my country and my God. I also try to support companies that share my values and worldview. That is why I recently ordered a batch of Cousin T’s products and already have G Hughes and Stubbs in my pantry and refrigerator.
In 2020, the Left demanded a boycott of Goya products because its CEO, Bob Unanue, visited the Trump White House. When the inquisitors in the Corporate media demanded that he denounce Trump and kiss the feet of BLM, he refused. I went out and bought a batch of Goya products.
Our nation needs more men like Mr. Unanue.
