Remove the Quaker and change the name of the company as well.

Atheists aren’t happy with it.

Moving forward, only party approved Victory Maple Syrup maybe consumed. The Monthly ration has been increased from eight ounces to four ounces.

>>a subsidiary of PepsiCo, said removing the image and name is part of an effort by the company “to make progress toward racial equality.”

Recall the Hope & Change billboards from Pepsi in the Obama error.

PepsiCo==Progressives

I don’t think it’s Briar Rabbit. It’s Br’er (Brother) Rabbit. FWIW.

See Article History
Brer Rabbit, trickster figure originating in African folklore and transmitted by African slaves to the New World, where it acquired attributes of similar native American tricksters (see trickster tale); Brer, or Brother, Rabbit was popularized in the United States in the stories of Joel Chandler Harris (1848–1908). The character’s adventures embody an idea considered to be a universal creation among oppressed peoples—that a small, weak, but ingenious force can overcome a larger, stronger, but dull-witted power. Brer Rabbit continually outsmarts his bigger animal associates, Brer Fox, Brer Wolf, and Brer Bear.

Voting Democrat? Now that’s a fictitious racial stereotype.

Judging from the hat he’s a cowboy. Is that “Roy Rodgers”?

I believe this image has to go because this DemonRAT President ordered the Trail of Tears with the brutal removal of the Cherokee tribes from from their lands in Georgia:
