B&G FOODS Inc said on Thursday it would drop an image of a Black chef from the packaging of its Cream of Wheat porridge mix, the latest company to make branding changes widely considered as racially insensitive.

Companies including Mars Inc and PepsiCo Inc are changing names and branding of some of their products that are rooted in racist imagery amid a wider national debate over racial inequality in the United States.

Being a chef = being a slave according to woke leftists.

[LIConFem]

And the insanity continues...

[dfwgator]

So now they’ll complain that there’s no black people on packaging.

[all the best]

Heaven forbid that black people be associated with anything wholesome or any productive enterprise.

[LibertyWoman]

In about 5 years there will be an outcry from the ‘black community’ screaming about the fact that there are no pictures of blacks ANYWHERE (except on mug shots) in America.

[Vinnie]

Put Bobby Flay on the label.

[csvset]

He’s avaialable.

[Tired of Taxes]

Ridiculous. There's nothing wrong with this picture.

[JFoobar]

They removed the story.

If I was black, I would worry. They are removing all signs of existence. Is the next step for the left to removed black people?

[GOPJ]

Put white people on the food packaging and in 4 years the black community will be screaming about these companies NOT including blacks...

[basalt]

and so..they still cant speak properly

[VastRWCon]

More erasing blacks from history.

[GreenHornet]

Put white people on the food packaging and in 4 years the black community will be screaming about these companies NOT including blacks.

Exactly right. The complaint will be: "How come, when I go to the supermarket, all I see on the packaging are pictures of White people like Betty Crocker and Chef Boyardee?" "Why don't these companies use images of people of color to promote their products?"

[faithhopecharity]

of course the commies have to remove the black working man’s image

they don’t want any black men working

they want all black people on the Demo Party PLANTATION (aka welfare handouts) so they’ll be totally dependent on, guess who, the corrupt exploiters known as Democratic politicians

My nephew is a Sous Chef in a large Boston Restaurant/Music Venue.

It takes a lot to be a Chef. Not only is he in charge of the line cooks, designing menus, ordering supplies, balancing a budget, coming up with new and interesting recipes, and keeping the kitchen running smoothly, accurately, and quickly.

Only he is allowed to wear the double-breasted Chef’s jacket and the distinctive hat. The line cooks have different hats and uniforms. Being the “Chef” is a big deal.

And so, the Black Chef on the Cream of Wheat Box had a very responsible, respected, and demanding job. In 1893, which is the “birthday” of the product, such a position would be an extremely laudable accomplishment for a any American, especially a Black Man.

The Chef is the Boss of the Kitchen.

[Phillyred]

Rich white people getting rid of famous black people from packaging is not racist. But keeping famois black people on packaging is racist. Please help me figure this logic out. I swear I am not being obtuse.

Don't attempt to apply logic to the current insanity.
