I am glad the family is speaking out so ridiculous.
I just checked . . .no Aunt Jemima in the cupboard. But I won’t be buying Quaker Oats again after I finish the steel oats. I really soured on the company when they dropped the coffee cake that my mother and I absolutely loved.
They have been “Black Lives Mattered”. Oh Well
Well, shut up buddy.
Your betters have decided that your family history is all about racist exploitation of a racial stereotype.
Don’t get in the way of the agenda or they will hurt you.
The cynic in me wants to know: is a steady check no longer being cut?
“...All of this canceling of iconic marketing symbols is to ease liberal white guilt, as Mr. Evans points out...”
************************************************
No it wasn’t! It was done to avoid or at least minimize the company becoming a TARGET of blacks searching for racism.
PS, I’m glad you failed in your stupid three billion dollar lawsuit, Mr. Evans, Good riddance to Aunt Jemima.
This “BLM” campaign has gone from just silly to full blown insanity
So you can’t be proactive. You have to wait until the BLM goons find you and try to destroy you first. Got it.
Can we just replace Aunt Jemima with Aunt Bea from Mayberry since having a kind black woman on the bottle upsets them so much?
I would look for an opportunity to restart the product, brand name and all, from the ground up, under a company that is not afraid of current cultural trends. If Quaker Oats gives up the name, then the rightful inventor ought to be able to take it up again. Don’t be a door mat for these weirdos.
Activists Fight Racism By Driving All People Of Color Out Of Pop Culture
They’re tossing her out like an old used rag just to virtue signal to a group of whiners, and destroyers of history, who will just find something else to whine about.
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.
>> not happy about erasing the iconic marketing symbol now
Tragic, really.
Corporate Marxism is destroying the Country.
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.
