It’s not an “honor,” it’s an illustration of a woman slave (and later a woman servant).

Anytime I thought of Aunt Jemima it was positive. Just a homely black lady who liked cooking pancakes.
Everyone with a functioning brain thinks this way.

They changed the name to “Ben’s Original” and removed the logo of the black guy.
That is so fricking stupid to do at the same time that black people are vastly overrepresented in commercials.
That is what the name Uncle Ben was - a fricking commercial.

Constantly amazed when someone defends keeping a racial caricature as a corporate mascot. It’s not an “honor,” it’s an illustration of a woman slave (and later a woman servant). GMAFB

I think you are wrong on blacks, they have proven themselves to be the most easily offended race of people ever. Super soft and weak minded

When I buy syrup I Aunt Jemima. I won't even remember the name Pearl Milking Company next time I'm at the store. Wonder how much business they will lose because of this.

I'm done buying it. I'm offended with them taking her off the bottle.

We recognize Aunt Jemima's origins are based on a racial stereotype.
I love how it's based on a real, actual woman. She's not a stereotype; she's a black lady. And one whose family was damn proud to have her on the label.
Yet somehow these idiots think they are honoring black history and protecting black history and heritage.....by removing a black lady who's family is proud to have her as the face of the company.
Nothing like fricking over a black family with a rich history to preserve black history. Idiots, all of them.

I think it was more than just her that was upset. Get woke, go broke about to happen here.
