I knew it would happen. I suggest putting white people on these iconic brands instead just to p*ss off the Marxist scum.

Clearly he’s a racist.

I don’t blame him. Just so he realizes that these are Democrats that are erasing the memory of his g grandmother.

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.

_______________________________________

OK, is this horrible writing, or am I confused? Anna Short Harrington is the great-grandson? What is he, a tranny?

OK, so I clicked the link. The author goes on to say the great-grandson is Larnell Evans, St.

Jees, people. Learn to write!

Because that is the point really of the whole thing. To erase history and rewrite it according to ‘plan’.

They’re destroying the achievements, and history of all the people of color who broke those barriers years ago. They’re desecrating the memories of these people. By promoting their own history, they do so at the expense of someone else’s.

Must suck to be her or Frank L. White or these others being erased by white progressives 100 years later.

I would be upset too.

I think the right course of actions is to tell her story. I am very impressed with her story. She proves no matter what background in life you come from you can be successful in America. She is an American Success story that needs to be told. She should make a movie about her.

Just like George Washington Carver who save the South with peanuts.

Just wait, before to long they will be bitching there are no blacks represented in product labeling due to racism.

The brand name was popular, and not because of the name. People bought the products because it made damned good pancakes and waffles.I don’t think they gave a rat’s ass about the name. They just recognized it and bought it.

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!”

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.
