"Though new to store shelves, Pearl Milling Company was founded in 1888
in St. Joseph, Missouri, and was the originator of the iconic self-rising
pancake mix that would later become known as Aunt Jemima, the company
said in a press release."
Pearls are white.
Should we call them Aunt Pearl’s pancakes?
When I was in high school, my girlfriend found out that my grandmother’s middle name was Pearl.
She asked me if any of my ancestors were black.
I kid you not. :)
Sounds hard and uneditable
Uncle Ben feeling the heat.
Aunt Jemima has been lynched.
What do you expect from PepsiCo? Their soda is vile. More products that will never find their way into my home.
“Our syrup is finely milled for a great taste!”
“How long before they change it again because that name sucks?”
The name already sucks. It sounds like a baking soda. This stupid liberal white guilt, really. The reason why people bought it is because of the brand but idiot white guilt Dems see something racist in EVERYTHING..
Someone should tell anyone who has ever been on a Wheaties box that being featured in product packaging is an insult.
This is racist. My parents used to have a black cleaning named Pearl. I protest this.
I live in Western NY. so i’ll just stick with the real thing from friends.
Ha! They canceled a black female for a white form of JEWelry. That’ll make the black kids angry.
Same old garbage, different name. Meh.
Pearl Milling Company....slave-free since 2021.
So, now cancel culture has moved on to icons of successful black people. Yes, I know Aunt Jemima was not a real person. But she’s a symbol of successful black lady chefs. And now, she’s cancelled.
This cancel culture is so weird. They’ve been trying to cancel native Americans for years, and now they are moving on to cancel other minorities. (But I bet they won’t cancel dysfunctional black criminals.)
Once they have canceled everything, what is left? I suppose, severe punishment for anyone who dares have an independent thought?
People are stupid
Jemima is a Hebrew name yet it is a “slave” name
still very popular in Britain
The lovable mammy Jemima who spoke in
jolly Dogpatchese was already updated to a classier elder
everyone loved and noone objected to until now...why?
Don’t understand the concern
Well they were successful in removing American Indians from the various food brands so now they are removing blacks.
Soon the packaging will be so Lily White that in 10-20 years we will begin to hear howls and moans because they are not “inclusive”.
