The racism of Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima........Huh?

[Starcastle]

So to state it simplistically. You people who want to slander our country and denigrate our country for political purposes can kindly go fuck yourselves.

 

[mark francis]

the concept of aunt jemima originated from the fact that black women slaves were basically the cooks and servers of white masters.
nothing racist there! /s

The wicked have an evil eye that makes the worst and interprets the worst about all sorts of things, almost as if to fuel their discontent and hateful dispositions.

 

[Randomguy]

So why did they change? Aunt Jemima was a brand since 1888.

Pepsi said this..


So they think it promotes racial equality to eliminate a photo and stop using that name!

A question is not an argument or evididence.

Showing blacks in those two cases being racist (I am not disputing that; it is the context that makes them racist though) does not mean showing blacks on boxes are all racist.

Look at the 2022 anti lynching law that was passed and signed with much fanfare.

We do not even have lynching in this country any longer. But so what? Let's create some bullshit narrative where racist whites are running amok hanging poor innocent black boys.

Interesting isn't it? In the year where the most lynching occurred in this country there were 3x more white people victimized than blacks. That was 1884. 160 whites killed that way vs 51 blacks.

1. Though I do not know this but I suspect whites were mostly lynched for alleged crimes. But blacks were at least partly because of their race. I recall a case of a black child being lynched for whistling at a white woman. I doubt a white child would have been lunched for whistling at a woman.

2. Comparison of raw numbers of those lynched is not as meaningful as comparing say per million lynched. And your numbers show by you seems to indicate a higher percentage of blacks being lynched.

I provided you with an answer dumb shit. I provided Pepsico's verbatim quote. According to them removing the brand name and the depiction of a black woman helps make blacks more equal.

No shit. . Your heroes in the democrat party want Americans to think lynching is something only whites do to blacks.

I'm not arguing that whites are victims. Try keeping up.

 

[Starcastle]

Ladies and gentlemen blacks are not achieving in America like others.

It has nothing to do with intelligence. Poor family structure. Attitudes of entitlement and victimization.

Oh no it is because of a image on a box of rice or pancake mix and Brian Kilmeade saying college but pronouncing it like colored!

 

[Starcastle]

According to pjmret any black person who works at a service related job is a victim of racism. Fast food, cook, waitress because that is what slaves did!

Agriculture is racist. Eliminate it now!

This racist pos sees a picture or photo of a black woman and automatically associates her with an ignorant slave.

 

[Starcastle]

I said this before. This company Quaker oats and the parent company Pepsico have total control over the image on that box of pancake mix.

They could have changed it any way they want. They could have put a white woman on there. This is an aunt, she loves you, a good cook. How racist!

Aunts are racist now. It was Aunt Jemima not black Mami Jemima. Aunt is a racist word!

This image and that name was on that box for decades. So they have been filthy racists for decades?

It accomplished nothing! If the objective was for somebody like me to stop buying the product job well done.

Teaching little white kids they need to repent for being born racist is clearly a product of black leftist racism of the worst sort. White racism is not nearly as bad in modern America as black racism has become. Calling images on cereal boxes that had become harmless fixtures for decades is stupid.

 

[Gabriel_Bell]

They absolutely said it had to do with racism.



As for marketing I'm one customer who liked their product who has not bought it since. I will never buy Pearl Milling pancake mix.

They did not say it was determined by racism. Show us where they ever said that.

 

[PamiUSA]

I seriously doubt any reasonable and serious person would say “showing images of a black person on a box is racist”.

They had images on that packaging forever. Do you honestly think it was a change of packaging due to sales?

It does not make a difference how long the images were on the packages. Originally, the picture of Aunt Jemima was of an older and much fatter Black woman, a typically "Mammy". It was changed in 1989. The original Aunt Jemima was a woman born as a slave in Kentucky. She died in 1923.

Aunt Jemima's image pulled from boxes, putting an end to a story that began in Kentucky

Aunt Jemima is being pulled from Quaker Oats’ products, but the original Aunt Jemima – based on a Kentucky native – hasn’t been pictured for years.

Should not have put any image at all! People too damn sensitive either way! Slaves built the White House! I’m offended it’s called white!

The White House is called the White House because, (duh) it is painted white, originally whitewash. It was not called the White House because of the people being Caucasians.

In Buenos Aires the presidential palace is called the Casa Rosada, because it is pink. This is because Argentina slaughtered huge numbers of cattle for leather and meat and they mixed the whitewash with bovine blood because the protein in the blood made it more durable. And the addition of said blood made it pink.

You are a silly person and your arguments are all far too silly.
