They will get none of my money. I loved Aunt Jemima. I won’t do business with people who murdered Aunt Jemima. Stupidest corporate move since the New Coke.
Log Cabin Syrup will have to change names, too. The association with the notorious racist, Abe Lincoln, will be a big target for the Cancel Squad.
So, Pepsi hates black people?
Wonder when Rochester will be removed from Jack Benny? These filthy bastards are well on the way to erasing Americana in it’s entirety.
Mom used this for decades, and I’ve personally purchased it for 40 years. No more. These people are too stupid to understand that they are destroying their own heritage.
There's also a black variety.
I love real maple syrup. I never thought of buying it online. Thanks for the tip!
Aunt Jemima products just became a collectors items $$$$$$
you sure thats not uncle jamima?
Oh! Oh! Just because Uncle Jamima liked to wear her apron......and her dress.....and corsett.....and underwear.....ok and the hat......and the lipstick, you think he was a cross dresser????
Here’s how she was fired
It’s how you make us feel spot on lemmings always take the same path.
Yes
Not buying!
I agree. That's why I posted the real story. Nancy Green was a tremendous sales person, and they built the brand around her presentations. She was born a slave in 1834 and after obtaining her freedom was a leader in her church, and in business in Chicago.
Some aspects of the story as told by ABC are disputed (Green may not have actually made up the recipe, but her sales skills and efforts are not in doubt) but here is more detail about a very talented woman.
The Wikipedia article here has more information.
Ms. Green worked very hard to promote the Aunt Jemima brand. Sadly the company that inherited the success she built can't even be bothered to tell her story.
Apparently, the bad thing is that Aunt Jemima was a successful businesswoman, rather than a useless welfare queen who keeps pumping out kids.
We can't show that blacks (especially black women) can be successful members of society. That's just intolerable.
As if removing a respectable black woman / business owner from public perception helps blacks ...
Went out and bought all the Aunt Jemima pancake mix I could find. Those boxes will be worth a lot of money in a year or so.

Pearl Milling Company is the best they could come up with?>>>>>>>>>>>
Shite, I would have gone with “Uncle Tom’s Cabin Pan Cake Mix! ( Its a privilege!)”
It would sell way better than Aunt Jemima, .......oops I forgot , we have other forces involved in the market now, its no longer a free market.
Aunt Jemima is nothing but a name. They could have kept it and replaced the image...
With a white aunt.
Didn’t they use any focus groups to test this out? I can’t imagine it was received enthusiastically.
