An alternate view of Aunt Jemima

[martybegan]

It's not me for whom slave history begin and ends in Africa. That's you soft little bitches.

It started there, came here, and ended here and there eventually, sometimes with bloodshed, sometimes without.

The reason it really kicked into gear was due to the Spanish and Portuguese killing off most of the natives in South America and needing more cheap labor. The Brits and the French in North America were actually late to that game, and initially started with indentured servants from the lower classes of Europe itself.

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..

This was the kind of stuff we had to masturbate to back in the days before the internet

You mean you didn't jam the zero button on your cable remote to get occasional flickers of a boob from the porn channels?

 

[rightwinger]

Only idiots saw Aunt Jemima as something to deride, most people saw her and thought pancakes.

Why didn’t they show Aunt Jemima as an educated, eloquent black woman?

 

[Mac-7]

You only being able to see black people as products or prostitutes says more about you than me.

You see nancy green as nothing more than a freed slave

And she was freed by white people I might add

How old is the one on the left?

What is wrong with the one on the right?

She makes pancake syrup, she doesn't give dissertations on Quantum physics.

 

[Mac-7]

Aunt Jemima is a racist icon.
I can see why you love her.
Aunt Jemima is a fiction. Hating her is irrational.

But black militants do hate her for reasons I have already explained

We are talking about term Aunt Jemima and why it is considered offensive to blacks

If you were black, would you consider that depiction offensive?

 

[braalian]

Of course

JC Penny catalogs, Total Gym infomercials late at night, extra-curvy pieces of driftwood. We had to be resourceful back then

The one on the left? Yes, of course.

The one on the right? No. She looks like someone's aunt or grandma (who still dyes her hair).

Again, when was the one on the left from?

Or get the older kids to lend you their copy of Swank.

Man that was some bad porn.

And that is the rub
They tried to tone down the racist image but the old characature still sticks

Aunt Jemima was made to mock blacks and is still found to be offensive

We make fun of the younger generation for being weak, but if I had had access to a smart phone at the height of puberty, it would have been an overload

They must be desensitized to all the porn or something

I see you as nothing more than a little bitch and you and your soft ass begging culture will never get a pat on the back from us for being made to stop your own deplorable behavior by circumstance, necessity and shame.

I mean, her entire schtick was that she’s a maid cooking pancakes for people.

How educated and eloquent is she going to be, regardless of race?

And how would that sell pancakes if she were?

Aunt Jemima was made to sell pancake syrup, made by a black woman. Just because it was bad in the past doesn't mean you destroy the whole thing.

It was fixed.

The Notre Dame fighting Irish mascot is based on "Irish as apes" tropes from the late 1800's. Yet you don't see the irish (remember the Irish were considered the negroes of Europe) demanding it be banned.

And actually, most the calls for bans come from neurotic white women, not blacks themselves.

You are just a mud slinger

You think hurling insults will bully others into agreeing with you

That may work in the ghetto but not on this forum

The Jemima on the right looks like she could be educated and eloquent. How is that one a caricature?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Just delightful watching the ignorant racists try to normalize their hate.

Agreed. The left only wants to see white people on products.

 

[Dadoalex]

But black militants do hate her for reasons I have already explained

They don't hate her.
They hate that the image of a Black woman has been used for over 100 years to reinforce racist stereotypes and that she, rather than use her celebrity to push for equality instead chose to take the money and STFU.

See "Oreo Cookie" for reference.
