Evidently notSeems like it worked.
Seems like it worked.
They won't allow anything positive to be seen in their view of history. Only the bad is permitted and that unacceptable or bad thing must be presented as the only thing that was important in any given time. I can't imagine being that tunnel visioned or indoctrinated with such misinformed beliefs if they in fact do believe that. Sometimes I think they just dutifully parrot the party line and don't care whether or not it is true.So true!
Sadly, nowadays when we see how a lot of younger people of that background act, "lovable" does not come to mind.
It's your thread you clueless cosplaying fucktard....Tell us again what is your complaint?
Exactly. You want to tell me what my complaint is because like the Pearl Milling Company you merely want to use my likeness to sell your sad fan fiction.I’ll tell you
Now I know exactly what your fragility is all about. You fail whites like to imagine that you allow these protests and protestations to occur at your discretion and your feeble frail white mind needs to maintain that illusion.Aunt Jemima reminds you of a time before white people magnanimously gave black people their freedom
You owe much yo whites and that really bothers you
Jesus!
She was an actress.
She did NOTHING to promote the cause of racial equality.
In fact, every bit of her fame is based on supporting racism by reinforcing the stereotypes used by racists.
No wonder you're upset.
The symbols that support your bigotry are disappearing.
The ad from the 50s where she’s wearing a kerchief and saying “lawsee” and “sho’nuf”, yeah those are racist.Evidently not
That was a loooong term plan then, cause the toned-down neutral version of Aunt Jemima was a thing back when I was a kidYup, they got rid of her, which was the goal all along.
What's the character's name?It's. Fucking. Pancake. Syrup.
They updated the image with the times. There is NOTHING offensive about her current incantation.
Because the original image of Aunt Jemima stuckThe ad from the 50s where she’s wearing a kerchief and saying “lawsee” and “sho’nuf”, yeah those are racist.
But what sane person could possibly be offended by the woman on these bottles of syrup?

It's what's up front that counts.It's. Fucking. Pancake. Syrup.
So what’s the problem with the current version?Because the original image of Aunt Jemima stuck
Calling a black person invoked the old Mammy image not the revised image
did they change the name of the character to something like "Jennifer Aniston?"What’s there to judge?
Yeah the original Aunt Jemima was clearly a Mammy caricature. The modern one just looks like some middle aged black lady.
I’m sure any kid these days wouldn’t even make the connection. There’s a lady on the syrup bottle, and she happens to be black. That’s all they’d see.
The name Aunt JemimaSo what’s the problem with the current version?
There is something deeply offensive in the way white culture treated Nancy Green.
Then why didn’t they let her dress normally and speak proper English like they would for an older white woman?It was sold as her recipe... this somehow offends you that a black lady would be depicted as coming up with a pancake mix... a black lady actually cooked in a kitchen! wow... how demeaning.
What's the character's name?
There ya go sparkles.
Don't be stupid.The image that black women are good cooks?
Thats a positive image
It's what's up front that counts.
And that a racist stereotype.
