I kinda wondered when they would get around to this. It was rather obvious. It’s almost like they were waiting to use the Virtue Signal.

I volunteer my house as the collection point - if anyone has any of those offensive pictures of Andrew Jackson they can feel free to send them my way for … recycling, that’s what we’ll call it.

Next, they're going to have to get rid of those "Tiger Nut" pancakes.   With such exclusively masculine nomenclature, they are obviously misogynistic, and have to change, right now!


      


(However, the ingredient list for that pancake mix should prove to be very interesting.)

I wonder when all this will end, and we can finally live our lives in peace.

This is so weird, I was just thinking about Aunt Jemima brand this morning and wondering what was going to happen to it with this current mania going on and bing! I boot up my computer and see this story. They are as predictable as trained dogs. Watch for that tarry stuff you put on your driveway to change from “blacktop” to something else. Anna Sewell’s classic book will be on the chop list at libraries, just watch for it. Stupid is in fashion, folks!

INGREDIENTS: CORN SYRUP, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, WATER, CELLULOSE GUM, CARAMEL COLOR, SALT, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, SODIUM BENZOATE AND SORBIC ACID (PRESERVATIVES), SODIUM HEXAMETAPHOSPHATE.

What they should really be embarassed about is the ingredients.

When I was a kid,back in the 60’s, the lady (model?) hired by the Aunt Jemima company to represent them came to our church to talk to our Sunday school class. She looked just like the lady on the box. She was a good Christian lady, warm and loving, I’ll never forget that visit. She was great.

None of this kind of stuff...Civil War, stereotypes, racism on rocket fuel, statue destruction and on and on...was ever even an issue over my lifetime. Until the advent of the Obama reign of terror and the ensuing stirring the pot for political purposes.

Show how WOKE you really are Quaker -- change the name to UNCLE CRACKER!!!! Nobody will be offended by that.

Or at least show the world who you really are and call it Ms. Karen.
