Yesterday, we reported that Quaker Foods caved to calls to "cancel" Aunt Jemima, and that the brand will be renamed. Now, the great-grandson of the real Aunt Jemima, Anna Short Harrington, is speaking out to express his anger and disappointment that her legacy is being erased.

Is it possible that the family is getting $$ from them using her likeness?- now they won’t get any if they are getting it if they remove her picture?

If so- the left obviously hate hte fact that black descendants of hers are getting paid- obviously hte left are racist

Imagine being a CEO and showing up in the office one day to read this public clamoring to remove black faces from all your iconic consumer product lines.

“You mean all these people are demanding to have us remove black people from our product logos — and it’s not racist white people making these demands? WTF? Sure ... let’s get right on it!”

Nice catch. Looks like Copy Editor’s are scarcer that Miniature Albino Unicorns and Patriotic Democrats.

sounds to me like the real Aunt Jemimas (there were two, subsequent generations) were lovely people, beloved by many...for something that they did well and were paid to do.

BTW...who here remembers the end of Brothers Karamaszov, and how Alyosha mentions that we will eat pancakes?

I doubt many of the cancel culture people have read much Dostoyevsky.

I doubt that they give a flip about the REAL HUMAN beings that they are erasing here, and their rightly beloved histories....flesh and blood histories.

(Of course Dostoyevsky has things to say about that, too, doesn’t he?)

This is heartbreaking.

If they come for my man Lightnin’ Hopkins...I don’t know what I’m going to do.

I still remember when TV had no black people except for Amos and Andy.

Will TV be next to segregate?

The Left doesn’t care what you think or want. If your Great Grandmother was alive they would tell her the same.

Nike to Lebron James:

“We are willing to offer you $25 million per year to be a Nike spokesman. The only condition is that you have to let us make you up to look like Tom Brady or some other white athlete before you appear in any ads ... because we don’t want anyone to get offended by us using an image of a black man in our TV or print ads.”

Unfortunately, there are Republicans, also, embracing this idiocy. This madness is not confined to one party. But none of the make believe fanatics have the common sense to appreciate that the image of a loving cook, preparing a delicious breakfast, is a positive--a very positive image!

Good. All these family members need to come out kicking and screaming at the destruction of their legacies.

The Cream of Wheat chef was so proud of his picture on the boxes that he had the image on his headstone.

If quaker oats wasn’t so busy caving like a bunch of whimps, they should put this story out and keep the brand name.
