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
I refer to it as "ice of color". My wife just rolls her eyes.
Due to logistical headaches, it looks like I'll have to get a BasicMed and then later (if needed) upgrade to 3rd Class. What a morass.
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.
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.
There are no Republican representatives in Seattle.
This isn't a Republican problem.
You're sadly mistaken on this. BLM will split the dem and republican vote, placing them at the top.
BLM is already winning, and huge. Look at the dems caving to their demands, and look at the republicans remaining silent, and also the ones caving. BLM is operating with no resistance, people are being fired for disagreeing with them, the media is giving them full reign and letting BLM dictate the message, corporate America is handing them money, while altering their companies to appease them. Even big tech is full on the BLM bandwagon.
BLM is just a reincarnation of the Black Panthers. Go back and research and you'll see that the same ideology of the BP is nearly identical to BLM. Except BLM is better funded, and has an adoring media, BP could have only dreamed of that.
BLM is a communist organization, plain and simple. Go read their website, and there are communist manifesto type writings all over it. This is the trojan horse the communist have long dreamed of.
The Seattle Department of Transportation has erected concrete barriers around the Seattle Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, formerly known as CHAZ, signifying that it recognizes the autonomous zone as a permanent fixture of the downtown area.
A reporter From Q13 FOX Seattle posted images of the new barriers on Twitter Tuesday morning.
“The addition of concrete barriers in #CHOP this morning is actually very significant for a couple reasons. 1) This is a clear sign that the city is letting protesters stay long term. They are specifically adding wood around concrete barriers for people to decorate,” Brandi Kruse wrote.
It already is, and has. This is why the dems are placating them and bowing to them, because they will take a huge voter block from the DNC and basically turn them into a Green Party or Libertarian like Party.
But BLM will also take down the RNC as well. Make no mistake, right now BLM is the most powerful political party in America, a political party that doesn't have an acknowledge structure, is run by foreign dark money, and is easily shaking down corporate America for $million$.
Just look since Memorial Day (3 weeks ago) how much change they have implemented, and how much destruction they have caused. This is only the beginning. By November the chaos you see now will be small compared to what's ahead.
BLM is working better than they could have ever imagined. BLM is in actuality the old Black Panthers movement. But they have huge dark money funding, and a MSM that is promoting them.
Make no mistake, BLM is the most powerful political party today. That's a fact. They will have a massive sway come this November, hence why the democrats are bowing to them and republicans as well.
The other part of this problem are the deep state actors within our own government that are in full cooperation with BLM.
As previously stated, we haven't seen the worse yet.
However, the panic incited over COVID-19 has resulted in far more economic devastation then climate change zealots have managed so far (yes, "so far")
