Racism Over? Aunt Jemima is Now ‘Pearl Milling Company’

PepsiCo erases an African-American icon to satiate the woke mob.






quote:

PepsiCo has officially renamed its Aunt Jemima line of products to ‘Pearl Milling Company’, prompting many to ridicule the move as a hollow gesture to satiate the woke mob.

The corporation’s Quaker Oats subsidiary announced that the Aunt Jemima pancake and syrup line would soon be retired in June and re-branded despite having already been changed years ago to “remove racial stereotypes.”

“Throughout the effort that led to the new Pearl Milling Company name, Quaker worked with consumers, employees, external cultural and subject-matter experts, and diverse agency partners to gather broad perspectives and ensure the new brand was developed with inclusivity in mind,” the company said in a statement.

Seems to me that removing a label because there’s an African American on it is about as racist as you can get.

Ain't buying that...
Everybody knows that half the flavor comes from the belief that a sweet little black grandma made it from scratch in her kitchen for all her grandchildren to enjoy on Christmas morning.

When you hitch your wagon to a fallacy, this is what you get.

And I thought this month we are supposed to CELEBRATE our country's black heritage? Seems like this move is just the opposite.

From what I heard several months ago when people were getting "riled up" about Aunt Jemima, the descendants of the lady Aunt Jemima was inspired by were pissed and thought it was stupid to erase something created in her memory.

Just shows how tone deaf so many people are and how we've created a culture of destruction rather than inclusion.

They're not tone deaf, they're just stupid. No other way to look at it.

I am a Log Cabin fan.

That logo has to be in the crosshairs because some black folks lived in log cabins once in the bad old days.

Erasing black faces from advertising is the perfect message during BHM !!

Not tone deaf, even a little bit.
