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.” A former slave, Nancy Green, became the first face of the pancake products in 1890.
Quaker Oats bought the Aunt Jemima brand in 1925 and had updated the logo over the years in an effort to remove the negative stereotypes. But in the cultural reckoning that followed last summer’s Black Lies Matter riots, Quaker decided to change the name altogether. Other brands, like Uncle Ben’s rice, followed.

Wasn’t the real Aunt paid handsomely for her likeness? i wonder if she included residuals in her contract.
Clown world.
I vote they change it to ‘Uncle Whities Maple Syrup’....the only people that would complain are the same leftists that claim it’s racist to use a black person.
IN fact all schools colleges doing away with their ‘racist’ mascots, should pick famous white men to honor instead.
Her descendants are still alive and they don’t like this.................
Cool Whip the next brand to go……………………………….

Pearl? Sounds like more white racism to me...
Pointless, pathetic. God I hate the Left. They will take your history and memories from you and replace them with guilt and misery. Come on, God, we need air cover!
RACIST RACIST RACIST!!
Not sure who eats that crap anyway....they don’t even pretend its ‘maple’ syrup anymore - brown hi fructose corn syrup.
I used to make and sell real maple syrup from my own trees , maybe will again someday when I retire - but happy to pay $50/gallon for the real stuff produced by one of my neighbors over this garbage.

Auntie was cancelled because she collaborated with the enemy, Whitey.
Being from Florida, we didn’t have any maple trees, so we made maple syrup with water, real sugar and maple extract.........
They could call it Auntie Fa’s Pancake mix.......................
