Soooo changing their name really isn't going to make a difference to those who buy this product BUT what's next? Will BLM & leftists demand food not be brown or black or hey should "White" rice be banned & only brown rice sold, oh no! it might offend the brown people that rice is only brown, but it can't be white because people will say its white supremacy



The Aunt Jemima brand of syrup and pancake mix will get a new name and image, Quaker Oats announced Wednesday, saying the company recognizes that "Aunt Jemima's origins are based on a racial stereotype."

What about the Quaker brand itself?

I've been surprised the brand lasted as long as it has.

Wait till they pull Log Cabin because it represent Western Expansion and the suppression of Indians.

Or Mrs. Butterworth because that brand fat shames women of dark complexion

These people obviously have no life that they worry about a cartoon character or what's on a cereal box.

Tell their stupid asses "sure thing as soon as you remove BET, Ebony, Black Masks, Black Player Sports, Essence, Black Enterprise, and the 20+ other completely RACIST focused entertainment and digests."

Jesus they are just never going to ever let this go away.

No matter that NO ONE EVEN GAVE A SHIT UNTIL BLACK BOZO THE HOMO PUT US 100 YEARS BACK IN RACIAL EQUALITY.

There should be a god damn IQ test to breathe air.

So honestly is anybody truly mad at this, or just think it is stupid? I for one think it is stupid, they are just pandering to the lowest denominator. Anybody black, white, brown, yellow, fuchsia that is offended by a bottle of syrup or pancake mix that has been around longer than they have is stupid. If you wake up in the morning and get pissed off because there is a animated picture of an indian woman on your butter package, your in for a long day. I get being irritated by the BS, but come on to get mad pffft.

I always associated Aunt Jemima with the american tradition of "momma's home cookin", amazing that these morons see it as something offensive or exploitative....

UNLV dropped the Rebels too. this shit is unreal.

It's the wording they use in the polling.... and the people they poll. They use polling to influence public opinion now, not to gauge it. They don't let out the genuine poll data, they keep those cards close to the chest. 2016 perfectly illustrated the extent of this.

And I'm not sure who your bookie is getting his odds from but everywhere I've seen has Trump favored in the -130s, if your bookie had Trump at positive odds you should take advantage of it.

So what you are saying is the OG Aunt Jemima sold out?
Jamal is PISSED. Stating BLM are idiots and do not know their Black History. A.J. is original and should stay status quo.

To the extent people think this is a bad move by Quaker Oats, call up the Biz Dev guy at Quaker Oats and buy the Aunt Jemima portfolio of products.

If this is just virtue signaling and the brands have real long term sales value, consider this an opportunity.

If Aunt Jemima wasn’t profitable then it would have been dropped a long time ago.

But I suppose the real reason why they continued to use her likeness was because the company was more interested in being racist.

Too bad the brand is forever tarnished from today moving forward.

Maybe they should just update her look again, and make her a gang banger.

It would be cool if someone like Magic Johnson bought the brand and re-marketed it’s as an homage to a great black woman, because that’s exactly what it is.

Oh shit, I quoted the wrong post. I've spent all day trying to figure out who Jamal is... LOL...

I meant to quote Racey's post about the woman becoming successful.

I stopped by RiteAid today and snatched up a couple of the small Aunt Jemima syrup bottles off the dollar aisle. They're gonna be worth more someday. LOL

Hillary was leading going into the Vote in 2016. Believe what you wish, I promise just watch tomorrow night and you will see Our President's Support and then "IF" Biden ever does come out of the basement for good and does a Rally how many show for his.

The silent vote for Trump is huge, see 2016. People don’t want targets on their backs especially in the world we’re living in now
