Last week, Quaker Foods North America announced that it would be rebranding Aunt Jemima products because their “origins are based on a racial stereotype” of a “mammy.” Now, the family of one of the real Aunt Jemima’s, Lillian Richard, is fighting back. They don’t want the company to erase their ancestor’s legacy.

Vera Harris of Texas told KLTV that her second cousin Lillian Richard worked as an ambassador for the Aunt Jemima brand. Richard worked for the popular breakfast line of Quaker Foods for over 23 years, dating all the way back to 1925.

I’m envisioning Aunt Jemima with a double-barreled shotgun, facing down an Antifa mob...

They better be careful or they’ll get called uncle tom or white supremacists. They are eating their own and each other now.

Partner, I just loved your reply.

Partner, when big $$$ are involved in this important matter nothing can stand in the way. I do think that Aunt Jamima will win in court.

We are so sick of this BLM movement and it will stop if you put signs around town that prohibits looting and destroying property will be grounds for getting shot and killed by the police.

Black people need to stop getting offended by what White Liberals demand they be offended by.

The people who made that decision and run that business were within their rights. It’s called freedom. Let the chips fall where they may.

The family members who object to that decision are Americans and are within their rights to object. It's called freedom. Let the chips fall where they may.

Question: Who cares what the family of Aunt Jemima thinks other than the MSM trying to stir up excrement. I 4 one don’t need my button pushed.

I agree with the family. There is no reason to rebrand Aunt Jemima Pancake mix and Syrup. There is nothing objectionable about the name. I’ve been looking at it since I was a little guy back in the 50’s.

Who cares what the family of Aunt Jemima thinks

You don't have to care. Nobody cares whether you care.
