CRT on z knows better than those ignorant black relatives! He speaks for them because he considers himself superior to them.

Yeah he meant “completely removed from corporate culture and designated as entertainers to the white elite.”

All Progressives know what is best for their inferiors. Whether it is the people they "support" or the ones they want to exterminate.

Yet many minorities are more than happy to allow them to dictate whatever narrative they see fit. It is pretty amazing to watch. Not to mention the manipulation from the same political party that enslaved them, then segregated them in the first place. Just absolute ownage.

The weird thing about Aunt Jemima, there was never a widespread call to remove her.

I can't speak for every single black person on the planet, but I have yet to meet someone who was offended by Aunt Jemima and wanted it removed.

Part of uplifting a previously disenfranchised minority is actively avoiding reminders of the disenfranchised past. Stop being a little bitch about it.


This image reminds you of "black servitude"?

She's happy and smiling. Everyone knows that all blacks are always bitter and dour due to the constant oppression and violence being visited on them daily by white nationalist Trump supporters!

Wasnt Aunt Jemimas family pissed they took her off?


Yes. They were very proud of their history and what it meant to their family and a bunch of stupid racist ignorant white people took it from them and told them they’re too stupid to understand why it had to be taken.


See article on actual woman who created it:

According to a 1923 obituary in the Chicago Defender, Green was born into slavery in Montgomery County, Ky., in 1834 and moved to Chicago to serve as a nurse and caretaker for the prominent Walker family.

Several obituaries, including one Williams found in the Sunday Morning Star, claim it was Green who originally came up with the pancake recipe that would go on to be sold as the Aunt Jemima mix. According to the obit, Green made pancakes for the Walker brothers, who then spread the word of Green's legendary pancakes among their friends. Eventually, word reached executives at the Aunt Jemima Manufacturing Company, who ultimately hired Green to make pancakes and portray Aunt Jemima at the 1893 World's Fair.

After the fair, Green was offered a lifetime contract with the pancake company and traveled the country on promotional tours until she died at the age of 89 after being hit by a car while walking on 46th Street.

The world knew her as “Aunt Jemima,” but her given name was Nancy Green and she was a true American success story. She was born a slave in 1834 Montgomery County, KY… and became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world, as its first living trademark.

Green was 56-yrs old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago. She demonstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes… and became an immediate star. She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional. Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special security personnel were assigned to keep the crowds moving.


Nancy Green was signed to a lifetime contract, traveled on promotional tours all over the country, and was extremely well paid. Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for folks in Chicago.

She maintained her job until her death in 1923, at age 89.

Nancy Green was a remarkable woman… and has just been ERASED by politically correct bedwetters.

I agree with him

That being said the inventor was a man not a woman, so probably should be a black man on the product.


Problem with PC is it revises history not as it was but as some idiot thinks it should be.

I was discussing this recently with a friend who lives in Honduras. He said the same thing. That they still have Aunt Jemima on the logo in Central America.

This was the work of white progressives and people like the idiots in this thread that are claiming the woman was used. That is who is running our world now, and they are kicking arse.

It is pretty amazing when you think about it. Beloved black figures eliminated by progressives. Who's the racist again?
