At least he's not this creepy kid ...
How about just dropping the words “Aunt” and “Uncle.”
Jemima’s Pancake Syrup
Ben’s Rice
There will always be racial injustice in some men’s hearts. That cannot be legislated out of existence. It’s a sad consequence of Original Sin, along with all the other vices.
Maybe it’s time to ban people. That will eliminate the racism once and for all.

The Dems and Left are again abusing black people by stripping them of any presence in the market!
And he also killed a man (in self defense)
Or just buy generic/store brand. Many times these products are made in the same factories as the brand names.
Woke brand names support the LEFT media with their advertising.
BLM isn’t going to attack a fried chicken joint.
LOL!!!
A white hockey puck on white ice?.........................
HEHEHEH.............
How DARE anyone make a likeness of a smiling black man! Only Mr. Clean can smile! Black people must always be depicted looking like they are oppressed and forced to suck lemons!
We never buy Uncle Ben’s Rice anyways.
Mahatma’s rice is fine.
Occasionally we buy Jasmine or Basmati Rice, Both aromatic rices and Basmati rice is extra-extra long!......................
I never cared for rice.
Eskimo Pie?......................
They could have kept the names and deleted the icons...................
Virtue signaling is just hate, popularized.
Soon, but first we need to close down Frosted Flakes (as they are clearly felinistic.)

Why should they stop when they are winning?
The corporate world is shameful in caving to the self righteous bastards.
Time to buy generic everything or will they come after the yellow packaging?
Since a black man, and black woman have been monopolizing Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemimia’s advertisements all these years, isn’t it time a white person got the job?
They did that early 80’s with the white label generic items. Never did try the $1.59 six-packs of beer, though, I stuck with the Schaefer Light. Same price, yet cheaper than Miller Lite...
