.There is nothing wrong with being woke. Aunt Jemima was a caraciture of the black "mammy". A very offensive depiction of a black woman.
“I know … I know … We need to get rid of all the plus sized smiling black women in advertising …
And I am terribly sorry Aunt Jemima made you cry all over your pancakes.
I mean the whole idea of using a black woman on a product that had as much market share as it did,
and was one of the most recognizable brands in American is just crazy and I don’t know what the hell they were thinking.
We can just breathe a sigh of relief we never have to look at Aunt Jemima again …
And we all know there’s never a big black woman happy to see you over a plate of hot food
… That’s just nonsense to start with.”
