The Soy Boys will not listen to your logic, they insist you are being preyed upon by a racist corporation. Trust them, they know what's best.

Pretty funny how they made this decision without actually contacting them first 
That's some high level corporate dumbshit right there.
Eta: I'm sure the family was still getting paid royalties and the company saw it as an opportunity to get out of writing those checks

What racial stereotype is it supposed to be based off?
Apparently she was originally based on white men in blackface on the stage.
"Rutt's inspiration for Aunt Jemima was Billy Kersands' American-style minstrelsy/vaudeville song "Old Aunt Jemima", written in 1875. Rutt reportedly saw a minstrel show featuring the "Old Aunt Jemima" song in the fall of 1889, presented by blackface performers identified by Arthur F. Marquette as "Baker & Farrell". Marquette recounts that the actor playing Aunt Jemima wore an apron and kerchief."

Seems like this should make the rebrand easy. Aunt Lillian, with a depiction of the actual person.
Set up scholarships for her family as a form of royalties.

She was the second model to portray an advertising image. What obligation does anyone have to contact a former brand model?
Some of the comments here are lunacy.
Does the actress who portrays "Flo" have to consent before Progressive Insurance can go in a different direction?
Lunatics.

Clearly the family are right wing white supremacists.

They should make Aunt Jemima a white woman. That’ll learn ‘em
