What’s in a name? If the name is “jimmies,” it’s hard to say, but one ice cream producer in Massachusetts isn’t taking any chances.

Brigham’s Ice Cream changed the name of its “Just Jimmies” flavor to “Just Sprinkles” sometime last year.

Belo Media Group announced they will change their name due to the founding Texan being in the CSA.

Of course it’s racist! Everything is racist. Why, most white people I know lay awake at night thinking of new product names that will be offensive to blacks. We have nothing better to do than to think incessantly about which shade of Negro is the most reviled. I was at the white folk’s meeting in my town recently and the topic was about finding a way to make ice cream more racist.

If I don’t include a sarcasm disclaimer here I know what will happen.

Doesn’t the work “sprinkles” trigger the gender confused?

Forget “Jimmies” having any dreamed up connection to Jim Crow. A “Jimmy” is slang for a condom.

It’s MA.

The Dem government will lead a mob of ANTIFA brown shirts to break their windows if they don’t comply.

The history of the term “jimmies” isn’t clear – several companies have claimed to have invented it and the topping – but some people now say that it’s a derogatory term related to Jim Crow, the racist caricature that came to stand for discriminatory laws and segregation put into place following the Civil War.

Oh, great. Now someone can make up a hypothetical history of a word and have it banned because it might possibly maybe suggest racism somehow.

This is ludicrous and needs to stop.

Change it to Just Jimmuhs and say it’s names after a former president.

Cancel culture is getting rid of everything that shows a person of color.

I was at a restaurant in SD where Native American food was featured. The Cherokee waitress and I got into a discussion about the Indian maiden being taken off the butter box and she said, "They are taking everything away from us!"

Is that really fair, to remove any semblance of people of color? That is how people of color are seeing it, like the decedents of Aunt Jemima.

Why are they all being cancelled?

You called? The whole idea of jimmies is pretty dumb, and changing one's business name over a non-existent SJW boogieman (wait, is boogieman raciss?) is doubly so. Guy should call his ice cream shop, Dum Dums, and promply go out of business.

Jimmies are male crabs. Not good on cakes or ice cream.

If white people actually did that can you imagine the product names?

I Can’t Believes It Not Watermelon (artificial fruit spread)

Axe Me Later (long duration deodorant)

Churches’ Mo Meal (supersized)

Honkey foods Sea Salt White Cheddar Mac and Cheese Chips (a minority owned company, ironically)
