Well, that doesn't fit the narrative.


Actually, it really does. The likeness and name was, as it said, modeled after a song in a minstrel show. Nancy Green and who she actually was doesn't really come through when trying to market pancake batter

I wish we could come up with ways to celebrate the actual activists and ground breakers instead of wiping everything away and making it generic.

Like rename old racist white men buildings to George Washington Carver, Rosa Parks, and the many others that we have never heard of like Nancy Green, etc.

Because they are destroying their own culture?


Yep. Tearing down their own people in history who fought for equality because they think of them as racist.

It's hard to be that dumb.
