Change.org petition was immediately put into action now that Pepsico has refused to return Smith's two recent phone calls (PS Feel Free to Post Pro-Aunt Jemima Comments to the petition)

"I'm B.'s husband and business partner Dan Gasby. B. and I have reached out to PepsiCo on two occasions asking the company to meet to discuss our concerns about the Aunt Jemima brand. We have been ignored."

"Now, as B. battles Alzheimer’s, I am trying again for her, for my daughter, for my mother, for all women and conscious consumers, to see Aunt Jemima's negative branding gone from store shelves, forever, in our lifetime."

Honest question for B and Dan--if B has Alzheimer's are we certain that Pepsico has not returned both phone calls. Perhaps B forgot to mention this to Dan.

The Jews didn't go through the holocaust just to have their names appropriated to some sugar cane plantation product.

So she approached the young lady. “I just want to ask you something,” Smith said. “You just bought this product—do you know what it stands for?” The woman replied that Aunt Jemima was “a product that stands for us being blacks.”


I consider myself to be a pretty smart guy. But I have no fricking clue what this sentence means.

Excuse me young lady, are you offended by the product you just bought? You're not? Well you should be, because I'm offended by it, and everyone should always agree with me about everything. When I don't like something I bitch, whine, moan and complain until everyone hears me. And if you continue to disagree with me after all that, then I'll call you a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe or whatever I decide you are. See, I can decide what you are, not you, because I'm uniquely qualified for that. How am I qualified for that, and you're not? Because you triggered me with your microagressions. Yeah, I can sniff out your privilege a mile away, or I can tell just by looking at your gender or skin color, but you can't do that, because you're an a-hole and I'm not.

they should be more offended by the shite in Aunt jemima. I will never understand why people buy this garbage rather than real Maple or Cane syrup.

It would then turn into "That's cultural appropriation!".

Like they haven't been culturally appropriating my damn maple syrup from my Indian ancestors and European colonists anyway. Bastards.
