Aunt Jemima is making her last batch of pancakes.

Quaker Oats said Tuesday that its Aunt Jemima brand pancake mix and syrup will be renamed Pearl Milling Company. Aunt Jemima products will continue to be sold until June, when the packaging will officially change over.

Quaker Oats, a division of PepsiCo Inc., had announced last June that it would retire the Aunt Jemima brand, saying the character’s origins are “based on a racial stereotype.” The smiling Aunt Jemima logo was inspired by the 19th century “mammy” minstrel character, a Black woman content to serve her white masters. A former slave, Nancy Green, became the first face of the pancake products in 1890.

You may have inspired the next 4chan campaign. “Pearls are a symbol of white supremacy.”

A dude in Thailand just found an orange one and used the money on a meth party.

[Leaning Right]

Pearl Milling Company? How insensitive! Only the idle rich can afford pearls. And they buy their pearls with money they got from exploiting poor minority workers. This won’t do. I am triggered, and I demand another name change.

You know what's hilarious and sad is that blacks never thought twice about how Aunt Jemima looked. Or Uncle Ben's or the Cream of Wheat guy.

There's nobody more racist than white leftists, who got to keep blacks angry and divided so they can remain in power.

Horrible name. Horrible product.

I have new name for it..Not Buying.

I grew up on Uncle Ben’s rice.

They’re apparently changing it to “Ben’s Original”.

I wonder if they’ll still use the iconic picture.

A lot of these ‘woke’ folks have determined that we’ll never again see any reference to Aboriginal Americans, and their storied prowess, in sports. Pretty soon they’ll determine that we can’t see anything of African Americans either. In the vaunted name of ‘diversity’, everyone is becoming invisible.

(I’m glad I’m old. The illogic and insanity are becoming too much to deal with.)

Their sales fell flat as a pancake.

[AZJeep]

There is a push for more blacks everywhere. More in movies, adds, work, etc.
Now Aunt Jemima and Uncle Bens have a long history of doing just that. So what’s wrong?

I’ve been trying hard to wrap my brain around RACISM!!!!

The problem might be that our affection is based on a racial stereotype of years gone by. Even good pure feelings are suspect because of the pronounced “stereotype”. Thus, even the object of our affection must be eliminated and replaced. I don’t like any of it and am tired of having my pure motives and affections dumped on.

“It includes the nice crunch of milled pearls. Kind of like ground glass.”

But—black lives matter...?

[americas.best.days...]

You are so right.

“content to serve her white masters”.

These people are insane. It couldn’t just be a black lady who made the best pancakes and syrup, for whoever wanted to eat them. Misery mongers.

Can anyone imagine the song ‘Five by Five’ being done these days?

Japanese pearl divers and their descendants are outraged!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

What did they do to the butter? Now it doesn't melt! Maybe because the warmth of old Aunt Jemima's heart is no longer there, replaced with the cold blood of bean counters and wokesters.
