“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.

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