As you probably heard, Quaker Oats decided that white liberals just couldn't take all of that white privilege and systematic racism anymore on their pancakes.
Wonder if Quaker Oats actually asked any African Americans about their decision?
Well, it turns out that Aunt Jemima's family is not pleased with the move. This is from news reports:
Living in Forney, Vera Harris is the family historian for the Richard family of Hawkins, and could hardly believe a big part of their family legacy, the “Aunt Jemima” brand, was about to be erased from supermarket shelves.“A lot of people want it removed. We want the world to know that our cousin Lillian was one of the Aunt Jemima’s and she made an honest living. We would ask that you reconsider just wiping all that away. There wasn’t a lot of jobs, especially for black women back in that time. She was discovered by Quaker Oats to be their brand person,” Harris said.

Revolutions have far worse consequences than elections, Obama. Might want to reign this one in before it consumes YOU too, brother.
White liberals will tell black people what’s good for them. They don’t need to go to the trouble of thinking for themselves.

For the loss of this brand, I’ll bet they lose around one-third of their normal profit.
Reminds me of when white liberals wanted the indian names of professional sporting teams to be changed. When american indians were asked, they just didnt care about sporting teams using indian names. Some of them liked it that way.
White liberals removing black faces from our grocery store shelves. Is it wrong that I’m enjoying the sh!t out of this? #WINNING.
What is next? No blacks on sports, no blacks on television, no black presidential portraits?
I’ll bet sales already sucked or they wouldn’t have messed with it.
No, I’m sure they didn’t because white liberal political correctness knows better what’s good for everyone else even if they don’t know themselves.
IIRC Aunt Jemima is the most popular brand of syrup in the U.S. BY FAR.
Well then let’s wipe all blacks from all advertisement. Only makes sense.
Popularity is one thing. Profit is another. :-)
And while this is from 2014, bet it’s still on the corporation’s mind...

You got the sentiment right but not the color
I’ve been watching Malcolm X videos lately- He said the white liberal was the biggest enemy of the black people
She's an icon.
But it sounds like a valid contract dispute. I have been involved with some of those. They are kinda fun...if you win.
$2 billion is a lot of money.
