“Aunt Jemima, yummy, pancake syrup. Now, this used to show a large African American woman chef, but because of the inherent racism of Americans’ corporate culture, they decided to make it a white person, or maybe no person at all,” Stein said.

He continued, “But, I prefer when it was a black person, showing their incredible skill at making pancakes. So, God bless you all and have a good evening.”


He is getting a lot of backlash over his comments

Progressivism is doing a good job of moving us back to the days of segregation, and horse and buggy.

I admire people who speak the truth without giving a damn what others think.

Leftism is a mental cancer.
A mind virus.

Having a black woman on the label doesn't make it any less shitty.

Black people and American Indians are going to wake up one day and white liberals will have had them completely removed from corporate and social culture.

He could afford better syrup if he didn't lose all his money on that game show.

“If it doesn’t remind me of a glorious past of black servitude, I don’t want it”.

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