An alternate view of Aunt Jemima

[Mac-7]

I consider this a current event since woke libs want to rewrite history by demonizing Aunt Jemima

“A great woman erased from history by idiots.
The branding of the syrup was a tribute to this woman’s gifts and talents. Now future generations will not even know this beautiful woman existed. What a shame. The world knew her as “Aunt Jemima”, but her given name was Nancy Green and she was a true American success story. She was born a slave in 1834 Montgomery County, KY. and became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world, as its first living trademark. Green was 56-yrs old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago. She demonstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes, and became an immediate star. She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional. Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special security personnel were assigned to keep the crowds moving. Nancy Green was signed to a lifetime contract, traveled on promotional tours all over the country, and was extremely well paid. Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for all Americans. She maintained her job until her death in 1923, at age 89. This was a remarkable woman, and sadly she has been ERASED by politics. I wanted you to know and remind you in this cancel culture time period.”

If the Democrats allowed her to be shown as how a black woman could be successful, then it blows their whole theory that black people need white Democrats to survive.

This woman did not need Affirmative Action to make it in America, she used her God given gift to be successful.

Let's not forget Hattie McDaniel (June 10, 1895 – October 26, 1952), who was an American actress, singer-songwriter, and comedienne. For her role as Mammy in Gone with the Wind (1939), she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, becoming the first African American to win an Oscar.

And now her legacy is gone with the wind, cancelled by the woke libs, never to be seen on HBO Max again.

Exactly the same thing the Woke Elite did with Blackfoot Chief John Two Guns White Calf, the Indian on the Redskins logo. Now the proud legacy of Chief John is erased and the team is now named after Biden's dog who bit 24 Secret Servicemen.

Aunt Jemima was not appropriate to a 'woke' mentality that demands only THEIR definitions or descriptions are allowed to be used. She was depicted as an attractive likable black woman on the syrup bottle and pancake mix box but because in the past we addressed black woman as 'Aunt (whatever)" as a means of respect or affection we now must consider that as demeaning as Jim Crow laws or slavery. So a lovable Aunt Jemima or Uncle Ben is a no no despite the fact that the products they represented subtly inspired millions of children to see black people as lovable people.

The 'woke' are so stupid with their prejudices sometimes. Maybe all the time.

The issue began when Aunt Jemima was used as a derogatory reference to black women not as a positive reference

Hattie McDaniel was a great actress relegated to playing servant roles.
She was capable of much more

Those were the roles available to blacks in the 30s and 40s
Just because they were paid more to demean themselves doesn’t justify it

because she was shown as a typical lovable, capable black woman on the syrup bottle and pancake mix.

Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, Uncle Remus and other black characters are embarrassing to lib racists who are still traumatized by history

right

because it would make so much more sense to hire a white woman to portray a slave on a plantation during the Civil war.

It's a fact that many white musicians play ethnically African-American music like blues, jazz, hip-hop, etc. The most logical reason why they do that is out of respect for black artists, and to pay homage to them. Black music and theater has always been popular among non-whites, even dating back to the 1800's. Vaudeville performers like Eddie Cantor, Jimmy Durante, Al Jolson, Buster Keaton, and even the Three Stooges performed skits in blackface.

List of entertainers who performed in blackface - Wikipedia

This has been looked upon as being "racist" as of lately, but that's because people don't understand those artist's motivation. They were not mocking blacks, they were paying homage to them and presenting the audience with what was the most popular entertainment of that period. Just as white jazz, blues, and hip-hop musicians still do today. Just as when Stephen F. Foster wrote songs like "Camptown Races", "Massa's in de Cold, Cold Ground", "Plantation Jig", and "Old Black Joe", he was not mocking blacks. He was performing the popular culture of the day.

We just have basic cable, I can't remember the last time it was television.

I could be wrong, but I believe that the African American girl from the Boy Meets World show was called Aunt Jemima by those who were making light of her. Her name is Trina McGee.

God bless you and her always!!!

You just made me dig this out of my wallet, it's been in there for years. You could cut around three edges of the butter package she's holding, fold her knees back, and this is what you saw..

No shit. And $204 a month. But that includes cable and internet access with up to six email addresses coming in on fiber optic, and a landline phone.

Yes, a landline.
