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.

It’s like Land O Lakes removing the Indian Princess from their butter package. It was a nice image of an Indian woman, nothing more, nothing less. But somehow racist?

Now it just shows a landscape. Which unwittingly is worse. The got rid of the Indian and kept the land!

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

I know. It's a bad habit of mine.

Before BLM. Brands like Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben’s, and Cream of Wheat all with iconic images on the box. Loved for generations.

After BLM. Black images purged from all packaging. Beloved images erased.

The KKK could not have done a more thorough job of expunging positive black images from the American conscious than what BLM has done in a matter of months.

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

Yes. That is by design. Keep them in a constant state of agitation just so long as they keep voting D for themselves and for their dead grandparents.

Who? WHO was offended by the chef picture? Who was offended by Aunt Jemimah? Who was offended by the land o lakes butter girl? Who was offended by Uncle Ben? Are liberals so racist and hateful they can’t stand to see a black person on their food boxes?
Yes. Yes they are.

Next thing will be no blacks in TV commercials??
Don’t objectify non-white persons by showing their picture/image where skin color can be seen.
Might upset an unstable person.

And of course the new “Jake” is much cooler, has a nice apartment, chicks bring him free food, etc. What a transparent load of racist crap.

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.

My guess is that they'll still be about 400% overrepresented on tv/film/advertising in terms of their actual percentage of the population.

I bet that some time in the future the left will say that the USA is racist because there is no recognition of people of other races on consumer products. The left is cuhrazyyy!!!

widely considered as racially insensitive.

Define "widely" because I'm not sure this word means what you think it means.

Twitter is not representative of society.

Ask the next Native American that you run across. There is a reason that they are known as, " The Vanishing Americans "
