I want Stepin Fetchit syrup and rice named after the actor.
STOP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS.
THEY SCREW EVERYTHING UP TO GET AND KEEP CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE!
Corn syrup
It’s not Aunt Pearl. It’s Pearl Milling, which sounds a lot like a sex act to me.

Everyone knew the name Aunt Jemima meant pancakes and syrup. Pearl Milling is a totally forgettable name.
Of course corporate oligarchs also recently killed King Arthur. Neither he nor his flag grace the bags of King Arthur Flour anymore. I suppose he was deemed "too Christian" and "too male". Maybe if he was a "trans" they could bring back his image as "Queen Arthur".
A quick look through twitter on this indicates that the black-folk complaining the loudest about this are also the most reactionary leftists.
They are too stupid to grasp that their cultural revolution hammers are used hit them eventually.
The black chef on the Cream of Wheat box will soon be otherized.
The stupid thing about this is that Aunt Jemima was an example of a former slave who rose to success and prominence and worldwide adoration. You’d think the idiots would celebrate that. It was essentially the opposite of racism and they just couldn’t leave it alone.
Oh yeah, forgot about him!
Their new spokesperson:
If she comes back, it’ll be as transgender.
Funny headline on the same website:
“Tom Brady Accused Of Racism For Winning Super Bowl During Black History Month”
It is not satire.
I originally read it as Pearl Mining, thinking it was coal mining related...without my glasses on.
“ why not just change the name to “Jemima’s” rather than removing a black face from mainstream packaging?”
I said on an earlier thread, back in the 80’s they “rebranded” Jemima. Prior to that she was a do-rag wearing Mammie type. We never thought anything about it. The first attempt at woke pandering made her look ridiculous. White liberals should just stop trying to “help” blacks.
Pearl Milling Company was a small mill in St. Joseph, Missouri which produced flour and cornmeal.
It was founded in 1888 by Chris L. Rutt and Rutt named the company after a minstrel song called “Old Aunt Jemima” in which performers wore aprons and bandana headbands, CNN has reported.
According to PepsiCo’s statement, Pearl Milling Company pioneered the famous self-rising pancake mix which became known as Aunt Jemima.
The full timeline of the brand can be found on Aunt Jemima’s (soon to be Pearl Milling Company) website.

So let me get this straight—they “cancelled” a well-known piece of Americana featuring a black woman on a beloved logo because it was insensitive stereotyping or some such, and replaced it with the name of the original company that came up with the logo in the first place? How does that make a lick of sense?
