Just wondering now that this issue(?) has arisen. Is the Mrs Butterworth bottle a fat shaming statement? Or some rude comment about older folks?

“ People have fond memories of their childhood food. Now a days, the memories are gone. But there were black cooks who produced better food than Betty Crocker.”

Like Mammy in Gone With the Wind. They portrayed nurturing all knowing anchors of the household.

We simply can’t have those favorable depictions when the goal for BLM is disruption of nuclear families.

Personally, I’m a Mrs Butterworth’s guy. They’ll probably come for her next. Is Log Cabin safe?!

And here I thought the idea was to honor an especially good cook. Silly me.

Indeed!

The race theory the Left uses is exactly the same as that used by the bad old racists except that instead of being used to keep folks out it is used to keep folks in.

And it isn’t just to control blacks. Every group has their assigned camp they are to keep to if they want to be deemed good people by the Left. There isn’t just one plantation for one group (blacks).

Eskimo pies are on the chopping block ????

“Inuit Pies” just doesn’t have much of a ring to it.

Should white people demand that the Gerber Baby be removed because it is white?

"Aunt Jemima has already been changed several years ago. it used to be a more broad and older black woman, suddenly it was a very young and thin black woman."

Less product, same price.

Yup, 100 years from now. Why are there no black people on product labels? And the dems will say under racist republican Trump it was all done away with.

Thank God there are younger Trump supporting black Americans who see the democrats for what they are.

The more these lib gentry corporations bend over the less we should bend over when they want tax cuts, subsidies, deregulation, contracts or anything else.

Aunt Jemima becomes Uncle Jemima and attends the Black Trans Lives Matter rally.

Both sides have complaints:

They want Uncle Ben's picture removed from rice.

We want them to stop kicking white victims in the head to cause brain damage.
