Woke is a social warrior word. Really it is extortion.............forced acceptance.......shaming and virtue signalling are all part of their tactics..................works on sheep.....not so much to people that flip them off.........Seriously, I read the article and still do not understand the problem of the Woke (what a damn word) millennials. I usually understand what people are bitching about, even if I blow it off as not applying to me or that I just don't care. This time I don't understand what I'm blowing off. Make me feel old somehow.OK, I guess I'm not woke and will probably not wake any time soon. I don't get the nature of the problem with Trader Joe's. I don't think there are any in Tennessee, so it probably will not effect me. All I know of Trader Joe's is, it is a supposed to be a good place to get cheap blended wine.The humorous bullying scolds of the Great Awokening how now turned their sites on Trader Joe's. In their sour worldview, Trader Jose, Trader Giotti and Trader Ming are WACIST. Sadly, Trader Joe's is caving into the mob, and relabeling everything as "Joe's" from now on. But isn't that PATRIARCHICAL?
"While this approach to product naming may have been rooted in a lighthearted attempt at inclusiveness, we recognize that it may now have the opposite effect— one that is contrary to the welcoming, rewarding customer experience we strive to create every day," said Kenya Friend-Daniel, national director of public relations for Trader Joe's. "With this in mind, we made the decision several years ago to use only the Trader Joe's name on our products moving forward. Since then, we have been in the process of updating older labels and replacing any variations with the name Trader Joe's, and we will continue do so until we complete this important work.
"At this time, I don’t have an exact date but we expect to have the work completed very soon. Packaging for a number of the products has already been changed, but there’s a small number of products in which the packaging is still going through the process."
Petition asks Trader Joe's to change its 'racist' food packaging
As companies are hurriedly moving away from problematic depictions of race - from Aunt Jemima to the Washington NFL team - Trader Joe's is yet another brand is being asked to change its packaging of international products through a petition.www.sfgate.com
TJ's has much more than cheap blended wine. They have nice variety of produce, meat, cheese, baked goods, ingredients, and some prepared food. I love their house brand olive oils, which are now going to be Trader Joe's instead of Trader Giotti's. I hate the humorlessness of woke millennials.
Woke is just another collectivist cult using shaming and domestic terrorism to gain power. French Revolution, Russian Revolution, Maoist Cultural Revolution...it's happened before and in the end, they consume themselves.
Time for more people to tell them to go to hell........if they get bent .....get violent because the spoiled little wankers don't get their way.......time for a beat down..........We have never needed that more in this country than today.............
