I do not understand how cancelling Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben helps black people.

They are whitewashing pancakes??!?!! You’ve gotta be kidding me.

As a life-long blue-eyed, reddish brown-haired white boy with the same privilege to eff up in life as anyone else, thank you very much, am I a racist because Aunt Jemima was the only brand I would buy?

To be honest, a pancake is a pancake is a pancake, but I liked Aunt Jemima!

I thought/think Aunt Jemima was/is cool, with a great American story that I could share, too, by sharing my breakfast with her.

But ... killing off Aunt Jemima isn’t cool! And only woke tools and fools would think this is a good idea.

But hey, thank you very much, wokejokes, for white-washing pancakes, thus removing that last bit of racism from Amerika.

Great job Pearl Milling, you replaced a real black woman with an inanimate object.

A couple times a week I see a tv commercial for Popeyes featuring a black woman. A black woman selling fried chicken? How do they sleep at night? /s

If I buy a new named box, I will take the insides and put it in the old box —— and throw the new box away. Or send it back to the maker and tell them what I did.

So, how do we deal with an icon with a troubling past ("Mammy") during Black History Month?

Hey, I know, let's insult Black people by erasing her altogether and replacing her with a name including a shade of white (Pearl Milling Company)!

I nominate this for the replacement instead, in honor of White, racially conscious Leftists everywhere:

DANG!

I don't know what Pepsico is thinking.

It takes a lot of time and money to develop a trusted brand.

People *know* what they are buying when they reach for a box of Aunt Jemima products.

These products look like the store brands or some kind of discount/generic.

I bet this tanks the brand, because people will think it's a cheap knock-off.

Speaking of Pontiacs, the hood ornaments on thr postwar models was the head of an Indian chief made if red plexiglass that would glow a BRIGHT RED when the headlights are turned on.

I read that CNN Business article about why black stereotypes on packages must be exterminated.

Sickening, disgusting leftwing groupthink. Powerful, too.

That brings back memories of passing cars at night with the Chief Pontiac illuminated hood ornament.

It was so cool looking. Belongs to another time.

Don't know... Don't know that I saw the ad. But this may be it.

Then there’s the ad Jeep decided to run this year. Titled ‘The Middle’, it showed zillionaire Bruce Springsteen climbing aboard a top- and doorless CJ-5 [turns out it’s his own personal CJ-5 —Ed.] and driving to a chapel physically located in the geographical centre of the United States.

We quit buying it when the announcement was made. Other brands are just as good or better.

It seems like a peculiar type of “ethnic cleansing.”
