About "Aunt Jemima":
Aunt Jemima is a brand of pancake mix, syrup, and other breakfast foods. The Aunt Jemima pancake mix was advertised in 1889 as the first ready-mix. By 1915 it had become one of the most recognized brands in US history, and changed US trademark law.
One of the most recognized brands in US history in the span of 25 years? Muh racism, prolly.
The Aunt Jemima character was based on the enslaved "Mammy" archetype.
While no reference whatsoever supporting such an affirmation in the quoted link, let's have a look at this "Mammy archetype" thing:
One of the earliest fictionalized versions of the mammy figure is Aunt Chloe in Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, which was first published in 1852.
Hmm, Harriet Beecher Stowe say you?
Harriet Elisabeth Beecher Stowe (/stoʊ/; June 14, 1811 – July 1, 1896) was an American abolitionist and author. She came from the Beecher family, a famous religious family, and is best known for her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), which depicts the harsh conditions for enslaved African Americans. The book reached millions as a novel and play, and became influential in the United States and Great Britain, energizing anti-slavery forces in the American North, while provoking widespread anger in the South. Stowe wrote 30 books, including novels, three travel memoirs, and collections of articles and letters. She was influential for both her writings and her public stances and debates on social issues of the day.
Holly cow! Muh racism! - But wait, let's go back to Aunt Jemima/Mammy/Aunt Chloe figures and have a look at the life of the non-fictional, real-life Mauma Mollie:
Mauma, a Partridge family slave, was transported to South Carolina on a slave ship from Africa. She came to Jefferson County, Florida with John and Eliza Partridge in the 1830s, and was Frances Weston Partridge’s nurse. Henry Edward Partridge recorded in his diary in 1873: “We buried either in 57 or 58 our faithful old ‘Mauma’ Mollie – her who had nursed nearly all of the children of the family; been a friend as well as faithful servant to my Mother; in whose cabin we had often eaten the homely meal of fried bacon & ash cake and where we always had welcome and sympathy and whom we loved as a second mother. Black of skin but pure of heart, she doubtless stands among the faithful on the right of the King.”
Enoooough alreeeady! Pleaheeze! Stop all dat horreeeeble raaaycism!

I never could figure out how the left believes the Aunt Jemima, Mrs. Buttersworth, Uncle Ben’s, Cream of Wheat, etc. logos are racist. I’ve always viewed the logos as someone proud of their product that decided put their face or an artist rendition of their face on the packaging. Other products do similar things. ??♂️
They know it's not racist. But they must erase any image of black people being successful. If black people can be successful without government assistance, it takes away their whole platform.
The Left may be insane. I made a joke on Reddit about Bart Simpson, which a SJW complained was racist and anti-black, and next thing I knew, I was banned. These people are crazy, but some are using racism as a tool for framing the narrative. It's not about justice, it's about power over others by using any excuse to gain it and silence others.
Imagine getting upset about the label on a fucking syrup bottle.
If the racist black person didn't make it. It is exploitation. Only black people can make black things if you show a black person on them. Black people only sell slavery. So Jemima was on the sugar cane plantation growing you dang syrup. It makes the syrup racist because Jemima is on it. Everything with black people on is racist. See how that colonialism works.
Imagine getting upset about the label on a fucking syrup bottle.
I honest do not understand why you people throw such a fit about a fucking label on a fucking syrup bottle.
It has a black person on it. Anything with a black person on it is racist. They didn't make it themselves. Wahaa. They just need to be inserted. Anybody else making it is racists. See how they got you fooled.
I find it amusing. Black people are racists. The more they talk about it the bigger the racists they are.
Anything with a black person on becomes racist.
