(4)  Staying on topic.  The average person was not "offended" by Aunt Jemmima Pancake Syrup or Uncle Ben's Wild Rice?  It was the "woke" educated indoctrinated snowflakes of your party that brought that on.

You might as well own it.  The whole "cancel culture" was born and bred in your and your President's party.

Speaking of your party, I see that at least a few democrats are finally calling for Cuomo to go away.  It's strange to me how your Vice President was so quick to believe Justice Kavanaugh's accusers but is silent regarding Cuomo's.  Of course the whole left "me too" crowd is absent regarding this.  Meanwhile the MSM is finally covering this a bit, deflecting away from Cuomo murdering people.

Yes there is such a thing as cancel culture.

Mr potato Head isn't actually canceled. They are adding a genderless potato to the mix. and it has nothing to do with the government or with Joe Biden.

Canceling Aunt jemima was for the best, and it was the decision of a private corporation, that had nothing to do with the government, and nothing to do with Joe Biden.

Joe Biden may have failed to keep a tradition of acknowledging Dr Seuss on his birthday, but there's no evidence that libraries are removing his books, or publishers are withdrawing them, or anything like that, nor is anything like that being proposed. Do you really want anyone to list the presidential traditions that Donald Trump failed to keep?! 

Yes, Harris is a hypocrite, tell us something we don't know.

In short, we agree with each other, stop being disagreeable, stop the name calling. Act like a mod for once.

My daughter and her class are actively read a Dr Seuess book, right on!

I love aunt Jemima, Mrs buttersworth equally.  They both make my occasional pancakes taste phenomenal.

We’re supposedly offended by aunt jemima? Seriously?  Her [BLEEP] is awesome!!  So let’s take away her awesomeness and her syrup clout.  Where does that leave the people offended?   Shall we call it Mr Whites? Would that make people happy? No.  Let it be.  People need to lighten up.  This has gone way out of hand.   I do worry about my daughter growing up in this world.

Aunt Jemima has a racist undertone because the character was invented by white people and because back in those days, white people were taught to avoid calling black people Mister or Miss at all costs. A well to do white family would have a cook they called auntie and a butler they called Uncle. Meanwhile a black person was liable to be beaten if they ever referred to a white person as anything but Mr or Miss, regardless of if they were employed by that person or not.

Meanwhile the syrup and pancake mix will still be on the shelves, just with the company's original name.
