Piece by piece, they will abolish every picayune bit of Americana for being racist. A black lady featured on syrup bottles for generations? Racist:
Aunt Jemima syrup and pancakes will be completely rebranded and their packages redesigned, Quaker Oats announced on Wednesday, out of recognition that “Aunt Jemima’s origins are based on a racial stereotype.”
The Aunt Jemima brand has been around for 130 years. Anything that old must be abolished. It was a natural target for the BLM-inspired mob to attack in the name of its intolerant ideology.
“As we work to make progress toward racial equality through several initiatives, we also must take a hard look at our portfolio of brands and ensure they reflect our values and meet our consumers’ expectations,” Kristin Kroepfl, vice president and chief marketing officer of Quaker Foods North America, said in a press release.
The phrase “reflect our values” coming from a corporate mouthpiece translates to “comply with leftist ideology.”
The company is offering $5 million to the “Black community” to prove it isn’t racist. Maybe the money will be used to bail out Black Lives Matter thugs so they can continue to fight racial stereotypes by rioting and looting.
Not having a black lady on the syrup bottle will be exclusionary and therefore also racist. Maybe they should just declare syrup to be racist.

Maybe they can compromise and try a picture of a Latino. ;)

From the link:
"It's an image that harkens back to the antebellum plantation ... Aunt Jemima is that kind of stereotype is premised on this idea of Black inferiority and otherness," he said."
I would think blacks go their fair share of things on the plantation, even if it were hog chitterlings. ;)

Yeah, but I'm not sure having the Frito Bandito on the bottle would sell a lot of syrup.

You would have to be trippin' on LSD to put syrup on Fritos. ;)

When we were out in the big truck back around 2003 when we would run down to Florida, I spotted a Popeye's. I told my co-driver to stop so I could get something to eat.
He called Popeye's, "nigger chicken". When I came out with my order he asked me, "Well? What was in there?"
I said, "Niggers."
He said, "What'd I tell ya." ROTFLOL

When it was time to leave we still had half the watermelon left. I told my my wife I was going to give it to a black family picnicing at a nearby table.
"You can't give a watermelon to black people!", she protested.
"Watch me, woman."
So I carried it over to 'em, and they were quite appreciative. So if anybody ever calls me an evil racist, I'll just tell about the time I gave away a half a good watermelon to nice colored family.

2007:
Uncle Ben, who first appeared in ads in 1946, is being reborn as Ben, an accomplished businessman with an opulent office, a busy schedule, an extensive travel itinerary and a penchant for sharing what the company calls his “grains of wisdom” about rice and life. A crucial aspect of his biography remains the same, though: He has no last name.
Cream of Wheat has a black guy in a chef's hat FFS! This is insanity!

Are the riots still going on? I guess every time a doped-up criminegro forces a cop to kill him another city gets burned down now with the beaming approval of its administration and nice neat maneuverings by Soros and friends.

I worked a Mary Ann Bakery in Chicago as a young man there was a black guy named Freddy in charge of the ovens. Everyone would kid him about watermelons. Don't ask what brought back that memory. Maybe it was the watermelons. ;)

A few of us would go into this bar room named Carol's Pub in Chicago. They had a good country rock band.
One night a buddy of mine was crossing the street to come in. As squad car with three cops pulled up and called him over.
They asked what he was doing here. He told them, "I meet a couple of buddies for a few beers, Why you asking?"
One of the cops said, "Someone just shot three niggers over on Wilson Ave and we think he came over this way."
It was that kind of place. One night two black guys came in and tried to buy beer with the old paper food stamps.
The bar tender hollered, "Get the hell out of here."
One of the blacks started shooting off his mouth.
The doorman was this stocky little guy with a bread and biker chain for a belt. He knocked that guy out with one punch.
The other one ran for the door. He hit him in the back of the head. He fell against the doorknob and they threw them both out in the street.
To blacks, beer IS food. ROTFLOL
