Oh thank God. Now everyone can feel better about this. It had been so traumatizing to walk down the rice aisle.

I would have changed the name to Uncle Toms. Go big or go home.

What is racist about Uncle Ben? Apparently, in the pre-Civil Rights South, it was considered polite / friendly to address older Negro men with the prefix "uncle." This is now viewed as having been condescending.

Black Lives Matter successfully removes black iconic figure from packages of rice.
The KKK is celebrating this ethnic cleansing of our consumer products.

All images of “Native Americans” and black people must be removed from existence! Wait, no? Would that also be racist? This stuff is confusing. It’s almost like the people pushing it are lunatics.
Do black people care about Uncle Ben or Aunt Jemima? I’d say they do not. At all.

They are just dropping the name? Weak. I demand they remove the face of Ben from the package too.
