DEI=DIE. ‘nuff said.

“Cultural appropriation?” </sarcasm>
Keep a hold of them in the next decade, and then go to an auction house like Sotheby’s, it will be the next Picasso.
I would have listed the item “vintage collectible syrup bottle.”
Now do the once greats Disney’s “Song of the South”.
And yet rap and hiphop use the N word and disrespect women ad nauseam and nobody bats an eye.
Uncle Ben called in to complain-

In 1888, St. Joseph Gazette editor Chris L. Rutt and his friend Charles G. Underwood bought a small flour mill at 214 North 2nd St. in St. Joseph, Missouri. Rutt and Underwood’s “Pearl Milling Company” produced a range of milled products (such as wheat flour and cornmeal) using a pearl milling process. Facing a glutted flour market, after a year of experimentation they began selling their excess flour in paper bags with the generic label “Self-Rising Pancake Flour” (later dubbed “the first ready-mix”).
To distinguish their pancake mix, in late 1889 Rutt appropriated the Aunt Jemima name and image from lithographed posters seen at a vaudeville house in St. Joseph, Missouri.
In 1915, the well-known Aunt Jemima brand was the basis for a trademark law ruling that set a new precedent. Previously, United States trademark law had protected against infringement by other sellers of the same product, but under the “Aunt Jemima Doctrine”, the seller of pancake mix was also protected against infringement by an unrelated seller of a different but related product—pancake syrup. Aunt Jemima became one of the longest continually running logos and trademarks in the history of American advertising.
The earliest advertising was based upon a vaudeville parody, and it remained a caricature for many years.
Quaker Oats commissioned Haddon Sundblom, a nationally known commercial artist, to paint a portrait of an obese actress named Anna Robinson, and the Aunt Jemima package was redesigned around the new likeness.
James J. Jaffee, a freelance artist from the Bronx, New York, also designed one of the images of Aunt Jemima used by Quaker Oats to market the product into the mid-20th century.
Just as the formula for the mix changed several times over the years, so did the Aunt Jemima image. In 1968, the face of Aunt Jemima became a composited creation. She was slimmed down from her previous appearance, depicting a more “svelte” look, wearing a white collar and a geometric print “headband” still resembling her previous kerchief.
In 1989, marking the 100th anniversary of the brand, her image was again updated, with all head-covering removed, revealing wavy, gray-streaked hair, gold-trimmed pearl earrings, and replacing her plain white collar with lace.

They’re racists. The black woman on the syrup bottle is gone, the black man on the rice box is gone, the indian woman on the butter is gone, but they kept the land, and the old white man on the oats box is still there.
Some interesting history I had not read before:

If a racial group is underrepresented, it’s racism. If a racial group is represented, it’s racism.
Benjamin$ have been known to cure alleged cases of racism.
Are you white?
There's your crime.
So i guess i wont be finding a copy of Little Black Sambo on ebay anytime soon.....
Maybe Trump will start up an auction service; add that to DJT.
Scrooge the Woketards. Big Mo Cason sells BBQ seasonings and sauces. His pic is on the labels. It would be racist to not buy them because the Black man is on the label. Who the hades thinks like that anyway ( a few rabid skinheads maybe?). These coward companies give in to these Woke retards. In Aunt Jemima’s brand they could have added a small paragraph on the back of the pancake box highlighting the accomplishments of the real Aunt Jemima, her last name was Green and she was respected for her skills in her era.
I’ve got a couple boxes of “Uncle Ben’s” Rice I can give you to sell... no wait, I like the rice and can give you some empty boxes to give away! That’ll PO some leftist trash!
