That's been in the back of my mind for WEEKS.
Thanks for getting it off of the tip of my tongue.
PepsiCo. Inc.s business that sells Aunt Jemima products said it would retire the brand because of its origins in racist imagery of black people, the latest example of how companies are trying to grapple with racial disparities following the killing of George Floyd.
PepisCos packaged-foods unit said Wednesday it would remove imagery of the black woman from the Aunt Jemima brands pancake mixes, syrups and other products, and change its name. The company didnt disclose the new name.

So now there are no black faces on supermarket shelves.
Im not offended by the Quaker man on Quaker Oats, or the little Debbie girl. Or that ugly sketch of Paul Newman. Or the abuelita on cinnamon hot chocolate. I fail to see why blacks are offended by Aunt Jemima.
