New York (CNN Business)Cream of Wheat just became the latest major food brand to announce a review of its controversial mascot following the global uproar over the George Floyd tragedy, which has compelled corporations to reflect on their roles in perpetuating racism. Aunt Jemima was the first food brand Wednesday to announce it is changing its logo, which for decades has been widely criticized as a racist caricature of a black maid stemming from slavery. Hours later, Uncle Ben's and Mrs. Butterworth's followed suit. The pressure mounted for other brands Wednesday night when Cream of Wheat's parent company, B&G Foods, issued a statement saying it too has initiated a review of its packaging, which features the image of a black cook widely believed to be based on Chicago chef Frank L. White, who died in 1938.

I was wondering when this would happen. Now I know.
The Dixie Chicks need to get woke.
Cowardice is a catching virus,
It’s not about removing symbols of racism. It’s forcing Whites to loath themselves and this country.

Well said. That’s exactly what it is.
Mahatma Rice is next.................
uncle ben is a dead man walking. But cracker barrel is ok.
You know what’s coming...Diversity on cereal boxes,including cartoon characters......
I look at the price not pictures on the package
Good point!.....................
Yet Jake from State Farm becomes black.
Forcing a black man to wear khakis just HAS to be racist, doesn’t it?
Are they going to erase black people too? This is soooo crazy. ..but then it is the Left...
One would think blacks would want o have pictures of fellow blacks on products—and many who are not “woke” probably do.
He's a Portuguese slaver?
All I can say at this point is that its good the RCA Victor dog was a Dalmation (black and white) rather than a Black Lab.
All this virtue signaling for ghetto ferals! What a waste!
