As an example of “consumers’ expectations,” NBC quoted Riché Richardson, an associate professor at Cornell University, who said Aunt Jemima is “a retrograde image of black womanhood on store shelves.”
“It’s an image that harkens back to the antebellum plantation … Aunt Jemima is that kind of stereotype is premised on this idea of Black inferiority and otherness,” Richardson said.
“It is urgent to expunge our public spaces of a lot of these symbols that for some people are triggering and represent terror and abuse,” he declared.
So Aunt Jemima, a product symbol that has been used since 1889, (130 years), now triggers people for fear of TERROR AND ABUSE. Hmmm, all of a sudden people must be dying in Supermarket isles nationwide. But, actual terrorists like BLM and ANTIFA that actually cause violence and harm are OK??? What the F*CK???
Quaker Foods, the company behind the “Aunt Jemima” brand of syrup and other breakfast foods, says it will rename this line of products and discontinue its label’s image of a black woman “to make progress toward racial equality.”
Aunt Jemima has been featured on these products for 130 years.

So, what will happen to Uncle Ben and the Jolly GREEN Giant, now??? WHY are we giving academics so much credibility and power over society???

This is all INSANE. Mass hysteria, mass brainwashing in the vein of 1930's Germany. Never though I'd see it in my lifetime.

oh heck, "bureau" is racist...

Uncle Ben is now gone. Un freaking believable.
Uncle Ben's rice announces it is 'evolving' its brand hours after Quaker announced it will scrap Aunt Jemima name in a bid to end 'racial bias'
Uncle Ben's rice announced on Wednesday it will 'evolve' its visual brand identity
The products have carried an image of black rice farmer since 1946
Parent company Mars, Inc said the move was a bid 'to put an end to racial bias'
The timing and changes are still being decided but it will look at 'all possibilities'
The move follows Quaker's decision to scrap the Aunt Jemima name and logo
The company, owned by PepsiCo, acknowledged the brand has racist origins
Aunt Jemima character was based off the mammie, a black woman working for white families

If only ending racial bias was as easy as changing words and product labels.

So let me get this straight. In order to aid in race relations and help eliminate racism, we are wiping from all memory the existence of real black or Native American people, or representations of black or Native American people often drawn by black or Native American artists, because they are black or Native American people and that might offend black or Native American people from seeing black or Native American people represented from an historical perspective?
Do I have that correct?
Think of all the racist white moms and white kids who had the audacity to actually eat oatmeal or syrup or butter or cheese that had black or Native American people on their packaging. I’m so ashamed of being white.

Yes, well be afraid, because we (the dissenters who say Never Again) are the ones they're going to herd onto freight trains and into the showers.
This may very well become a business school case study on "how to kill a brand". I'm betting Log Cabin is jumping for joy because they still have the name recognition.

Not likely.
Log Cabin syrup was invented in 1887 by someone who’s childhood hero was Abraham Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln was born in a one room log cabin in Kentucky.
Kentucky was a confederate state.
Ergo, Log Cabin syrup is racist.
You’d better get more woke, er get better woke, er well just wake the hell up and check your white privilege sir!
(I think I’m getting the hang of this new awakeness thing.)

Oh, that's satire...I get it! It's a joke and it's funny.....
not.

American corporations are bowing to perceived societal pressure, promoted by the MEDIA, Democrats and pressure groups like BLM and others. Look at Daniel Snyder, the owner of the Washington Redskins. Constantly demonized by the sports media, media, DOJ under Obama and others for not changing the name. Good for him, for standing up to these woke CREEPS, and closet Fascists.

I think people are trying to find something to be racist. This is in the town a few miles to the east of me.

What concerns me is that people don't see the problem with this whole mess.

Now Mrs. Butterworth is getting the axe. I guess because the syrup inside the bottle is brown.
The Mrs. Butterworth's brand, including its syrup packaging. 'We stand in solidarity with our Black and Brown communities and we can see that our packaging may be interpreted in a way that is wholly inconsistent with our values.'

Just simply unbelievable.
But liberals walking around and being photographed in black face, and even wearing clan costumes is OK.

Nope. "Gin" is triggering as it reminds people of the cotton gin and cotton picking and slavery. Must not have that.

"How many white people were raised looking at characters like Aunt Jemima at breakfast every morning? How many white corporations made all them profits, and didn't give us a dime? I think they should have to look at it. They can't just wipe it out while we still suffer," he said.
"After making all that money —and now's the time when black people are saying we want restitution for slavery — they're just going to erase history like it didn't happen? ... They're not going to give us nothing? What gives them the right?"
Just removing it is not good enough now, Where is my restitution, show me the money.

The entire Progressive movement including BLM is about PUNISHMENT and RETRIBUTION of Whitey and the producers in society. Specifically White Males. It is NOT ABOUT EQUALITY, nor equal opportunity. It is about taking to punish and giving ti be "fair and equitable" Equal outcomes.
