Aunt Jemima is making her last batch of pancakes.

Quaker Oats said Tuesday that its Aunt Jemima brand pancake mix and syrup will be renamed Pearl Milling Company. Aunt Jemima products will continue to be sold until June, when the packaging will officially change over.

Quaker Oats, a division of PepsiCo Inc., had announced last June that it would retire the Aunt Jemima brand, saying the character’s origins are “based on a racial stereotype.” The smiling Aunt Jemima logo was inspired by the 19th century “mammy” minstrel character, a Black woman content to serve her white masters. A former slave, Nancy Green, became the first face of the pancake products in 1890.

Trademarking and other legal concerns aside, it took Quaker 8 months to decide on the new name???

The Koreans have their own lady divers, on Jeju Island. Pretty soon, there won’t be any of them left; it’s a dying art:

Our woke morons have removed black faces from grocery store aisles. They have have eliminated old beloved brands. I’m sure they’re very proud of themselves.

What a world they’ve made.

They had already changed Jemima’s image to that of a modern woman. Why did they need to change the name? Why not just drop the title “aunt” if that was offensive? Jemima’s Syrup.

Try Blackburns. Made in Texas, and you can get it in many stores including Walmart and Amazon. It's the BEST! My favorite syrup since a toddler.

Someone should fill the vacuum and bring out Fat Black Mammy branded syrup.

As a person of partial “Quaker” ancestry, I’m insulted at the caricature of that 17th century “Quaker” and am reminded that the name was long considered derogatory at a time when other evil words describing certain groups of people were acceptable.

I am ashamed and bear the guilt that in the 17 century when members of the Society of Friends (”Quakers”) wore such clothing that they were sometimes owners of slaves and indentured servants.

It time for Quaker Oats to change their terrible name. They should now use packaging with this name solely and boldly imprinted on their products - “FOOD” which is so conforming and egalitarian.
