124. Lack of a hotlink can equal poor web design. BAM should be notified anyway.
If they're selling it, they need to be told to STOP. If they aren't (and it seems unlikely a company would be stupid enough to state they are) then they will sue the pants of the waffle sellers. Either way, we win.

Just keep the phone calls polite. Firm but polite works better anyway.

I didn't get confirmation either way when I called, but they now know my views. I'll be doing a short trip up to my local BAM this AM to see what's in the store, since my area seems like a likely one for "product placement."

Definitely plan on calling BAM corporate headquarters Monday. 1-800-876-4510

Calling BAM, a LARGE chain (3rd largest book retailer in US) will have more effect on the waffle company than contacting the racist makers of this product directly.

Keeping BAM from selling it = stopping a major source of income for the racists.
Keeping BAM from selling it = stopping it from being picked up by other chains. (Imagine this in all the Walmart's of the land.)
Keeping BAM from selling it = marginalizing the product to selling at KKK meetings and other overtly racist venues.
Letting BAM know about the waffle website statement that they sell this product if they aren't selling it = the waffle company disappears in lawyer dust as BAM sues the hell out of them for endangering their business.
