To scottiemom and snoringbear:
It’s a crime what they’re doing to our past. I’ve loved those stories. My books were printed on cloth-like pages, IIRC. About 20 years ago, when a buddy and I heard that the Song of the South films were being removed, we found an address to buy them online and each bought one. As I recall, it was someplace in Canada.

“’based on a racial stereotype’”

Bull shit.

It’s based on an image of a “black mother”, a kindly back mother.

It pays homage to THAT, that that kindly black mother’s face sold people on the idea they were getting a good product!!!

That was not a “bad” thing.

After he saw his parents killed by Indians he didn’t have much love for them.

[Vaduz]

That’s just flat out racism it says black women don’t know how to cook.

Plus it offends seismic tremors

Oh...i see dm type two and hypertension and stroke in that organisms near future.

What is wrong with people that they immediately connect things to slavery? I never once in my life connected Aunt Jemima to slavery, I connected her to the occasional day we got pancakes so she meant a rare and wonderful treat.

Everything has to be made into something ugly.

Betty is now a transitioning male. More recipes with salted meat, butter and beer.

Aunt Jemina reminded me of my Jamaican nanny.

[Getready]

Maximally light absorbing sticky stuff. MLASS.

[McGavin999]

You are lucky you had a nanny. My Grandmother came over from Scotland to be a nanny, I imagine the children under her care still have fond memories of her and her incredible shortbread.

If you have ever seen Gone With The Wind, you will recognize it.

[gogeo]

Make her a white woman. That solves it, right?

[gogeo]

Shouldn’t the Quaker itself go next?

The Quakers don't care.

[gogeo]

He’s gay enough, and colorful enough, so the SJWs leave him alone. ;)

Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

[gogeo]

That’s the ticket.

[Calvin Locke]

Looked it up. https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Vigny/Le-Golliwogg-14111.html

Not exactly something I’d be attracted to.

Any of the fragrance lingering?

[reformedliberal]

No scent left.

It is just an iconic collector period piece.

Isn’t the “Quaker” image a stereotype also?
