lets just take all blacks off all packaging forever.

get all the indians off there too.

it will at least take this off the table. no one will be using a minority image for selling stuff.

The leftist cancel culture is out of control.

I doubt that racists were buying products with black people’s picture on them anyhow.

She looks like a very nice lady. If I saw her at a gathering, I’d be comfortable talking with her.

Steel oats sound really bad for the teeth.

>> not happy about erasing the iconic marketing symbol now

Tragic, really.

Corporate Marxism is destroying the Country.

What in the world is racist about Aunt Jemima? To me, her image glows with friendliness and hospitality. Who couldn’t enjoy that?

The purpose of BLM is to gin up hatred, not fix problems. If the group was interested in actually fixing problems, they would at least comment on the carnage occurring every weekend in Chicago.

Quaker Oats is owned by the Pepsi conglomerate. A noted woke company.

In addition to being a talented cook, Nancy Green had a cheerful and appealing personality. Born into slavery, she became prosperous as the original model and spokesman for Aunt Jemima and was a generous donor to charity. In a broad sense, she was the real Aunt Jemima.

Aldi sells their own brand of steel cut oats for a better price and they’re just as good.

How would this erasure of blacks and Indians from American brands look any different if white supremacists were doing it?

The Left has gone insane.

I have always wondered what the “Irish” appellation meant. The only thing that comes to mind is that it has whiskey added.
