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

[Randomguy]

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.

In THAT case. In THAT context. PepsiCo does not have the moral authority or the expertise to declare that showing blacks on boxes is always racist. there are tons of adds on boxes that depict blacks on boxes and no reasonable person would say they are racist.

I made the same argument in my previous post but you did not even acknowledge it much less respond to it.

 

[Randomguy]

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.

I doubt anyone would say that. Mostly done by whites? Yes.

A quote from the family of the woman originally depicted as Aunt Jemimma.

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!

Paint it black!

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.

I would not teach them THAT specifically but would make them aware of ongoing racism in US. But I know the same people who hyperventilate when they hear blacks lives matter would also hyperventilate at the prospect of teaching reality of racism in our schools.

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

Sales of that particular item or sales (to blacks and progressive whites) in general? Companies try to avoid controversy. Once that image became controversial they changed it, I assume. Why some are upset about that is beyond me.

It’s when the Juneteenth federal holiday etc came about. 2020!

Opinion | Aunt Jemima was always feeding us racist myths about Black women — not pancakes

The mascots were intended to let white consumers indulge in a fantasy of enslaved people as submissive, self-effacing, loyal and contentedly pacified.

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.

You can say I’m silly all you want. I know about white washing etc. It’s a point that the White House was built by slaves. So many things torn down due to slavery etc.
people are too damn sensitive on both sides! White and black! Boy and girl! Democrats and Republicans! If people do not realize we are all Americans and stop beating up one another!
But I can say one thing, just as 9/11 or any other tragedy in life, the good does not ask who you voted for, white or black nor gender, it’s helping a person! I can care less what you think of me. It’s easy for someone to say anything here but actions is what speaks the loudest and I know exactly what I have done and will do probably for even a bitter ass person like you! Oh that’s right, you would refuse me to help you? Maybe Harris can start mandatory tattoos in the colors blue or red!

The statues of Confederates were erected to honor men who fought to keep slavery legal. The intent was to let free Blacks know that the people that enslaved their ancestors were considered heroes, and to not get too uppity about thinking of themselves as citizens with equal rights.

Tearing down a statue of Jefferson Davis or Braxton Bragg is not beating up anyone. It is recognizing that Braxton Bragg and Jefferson Davis were men who risked their lives to keep Black people enslaved., and do not deeserved to b honored with statuary. They were not effing heroes, they were men who sought to weaken our country.

The White House was not built to honor anyone, it was built as a residence, and there is zero chance that they will tear ti down because it was built by slaves.

You refuse to comprehend this, which is why you are silly.

I may be silly but your are an ass because you cannot comprehend what I’m saying! Move on bitter butt! I really do not give a shit what the slaves did or did not do! That’s the damn past! That’s the problem of many, YESTERDAY! Move the hell on! Tear it all down for all I care! People that are deprived or without because they either lazy or cry the damn race card! So I really do not give a crap! You probably never even read the history of the White House and other historic buildings. It was a damn point I was making and you had to been an ass about it. So yes, leave my silly self alone!

You make no sense and even less when you rant. Stop being so silly.

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.
Read this:

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.

If mobs of leftist blacks decide they do not like something the democrat party will help the mobs destroy whatever it is they do not like, including the US Constitution if that gains steam with the anti-American leftist Marxist mobs.

I do believe that kids should be taught that hatred of others and racism towards any of any race, including black racism against whites, is unChristian and must be avoided by those seeking to please God.

Most statues torn down by democrats, including statues in the Capitol, were images of past democrat leaders.
