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.

Wonder what they'll rename it. Uncle Ben's Converted Pancake Mix? Virtue Signal Syrup?

Fresh from scratch pancakes are amazingly easy and quick to make, and taste better than the pre-packaged product of any brand. Same with real Maple Syrup, albeit the latter can be a bit expensive. But Aunt Jemima face on the box, or on the bottle of corn sweetener and artificially flavored Franken-syrup, always seemed like EVERYBODY'S aunt and was a reassuring image and reliable flavor in millions of kitchens.

These people are utterly insane and it's about time somebody put 'em down.

Rush spoke of Nancy Greene yesterday. She was totally talented and cool and one of thee very first black Americans to endorse products. And somewhat of a civil rights advocate, too.

In summary, the WRONG person to tarnish because of supposed racism.

Yes’m. We looked up to Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, or Redskins because they were tastier, better, braver.

Reality will eventually bounce back around to smack these idiots/protestors in the ass.

So what’s the difference between Aunt Jemima and Betty Crocker? Does Auntie must be removed because she’s black, no blacks allowed on food stuff? I don’t get it.

That’s exactly what came to my mind as well. Sigh, the movie will have to be banned as well.

I guarantee that the original Aunt Jemima’s pancakes put the stuff that comes out of the box in the shade.

Still further proof. Bloggers are terrible writers.

Now you've done it. That's like saying humblegunner 3 times in the mirror.

Nancy Green, was the original Aunt Jemima. Her descendants would have more claim to the legacy, than Anna Short Harrington’s family.

I hope somehow this leads to removing all the tokens in media.

He won’t get a voice in the MSM.
