Been thinking. They need to stop censoring niggers.
Let Mr. Poppo, Jynx, Aunt Jemima, and Uncle Ben exist. Dey is important

SJWs fighting for black representation in consoomer goods forcing a brand to remove the likeness of an actual black woman will never not be entertaining to me.

Shame she has to go, I quite liked her smile during my walks down the breakfast aisle. Reminded me of one of my old schoolteachers.

They say the whole point of knowing history is to learn from it and avoid the mistakes of the past. It’s ironic that liberals are the ones who want to sanitize and whitewash our nation’s history. They’re no better than the Soviets removing people from photos of Stalin.

They could have paid a black woman artist to create a new mascot and name for the brand. Aunt Jemima was supposedly based on a real person, they could have even consulted her descendants. Instead they did a quick clean up job because wokeism is just another marketing tool to these companies. Now there’s one less piece of that representation they say matters so much.

they should make their new icon mammy from gone with the wind. she is a strong independent black woman and the actress was the first black woman to win an oscar. truly someone to celebrate during black history month.

Cream of Wheat even got rid of Rastus despite him being based on a real chef from Barbados.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_L._White

Frank L. White (c. 1867 – February 15, 1938) was a professional chef best known as the model for the fictional breakfast chef (often identified as "Rastus") featured on the boxes of, and advertising for, Cream of Wheat breakfast cereal. A native of Barbados, he immigrated to the U.S. in 1875, where he became a citizen in 1890. He was working as a master chef at a Chicago restaurant at the time he was photographed for the cereal box in 1900.

White lived in Leslie, Michigan in his last decades. He died aged about 70 in 1938 and is buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in Leslie. In June 2007, the concrete marker on his grave was replaced with a granite gravestone.[1][2]

In September, 2020, B&G Foods announced that images of the Cream of Wheat chef would be removed from packaging.[3] The food manufacturer announced in June that it was reviewing the packaging after widespread protests against systemic racism pushed several companies to re-evaluate their branding.[4] "While research indicates the image may be based upon an actual Chicago chef named Frank White, it reminds some consumers of earlier depictions they find offensive," B&G Foods said in a statement. "Therefore, we are removing the chef image from all Cream of Wheat packaging."[3]

Come on. it was a real guy. And a professional master chef at that. :roll:

And I never thought Mrs. Butterworth was a black stereotype. She was a glass bottle filled with syrup who sounded like a generic granny when she's suddenly start talking to kids all of the sudden while they were eating pancakes.
