Quaker Foods to Rename ‘Aunt Jemima’

#21

This is kind of hilarious, you have 2 brands that have had black mascots for over a hundred years and both of them have to gotten rid of for ‘progress.’ So now neither of these brands will feature black mascots? It’s weird, cause I always considered aunt Jemima a story of excellence overcoming bias. I guess not.

Why aren't we [BLEEP] rioting yet? THIS CAN NOT STAND!!!!!!

The Quakers came to PA of their own free will, to escape persecution, and did very well for themselves. They mostly didn't keep slaves. Their relations with the natives were much more friendly than other Europeans'.

The face on that box should be positive nostalgia for them without meaning anything bad for anyone else.

Sure. But Nancy Green didn't cook for her nephews or nieces.  She was employed as a cook by "the Walker family of Chicago" according to wikipedia, before she was recruited by the inventors of the instant pancake mix.  The Walkers might have called her "Aunt Nancy" but that doesn't mean we get to.  And they definitely didn't call her "Aunt Jemima."
Like I said, if you want to honor a real person, then call her by her real name.  I'd buy Ms. Nancy's syrup.

Shouldn't your reasoning apply equally to a statue?

Essentially what you are saying is that anything offensive to anybody should be removed? Does the threshold for "offensive" begin and end with perceived racism issues?

Andrew Jackson is obviously a mixed bag.
He eliminated the national debt. He used the army to enforce tariffs in South Carolina, preserving the union for another generation. He won a decisive victory for this country against the British in New Orleans by making good tactical decisions.
Of course everything he did to the native Americans is regrettable or atrocious. But everything he did to the native Americans was either approved by Congress, or superior officers, or both. There were plenty of people who wished to share land with the natives and try to make peace. They just didn't win elections in those years.
And the way we remember him is also a mixed bag.
Our state has Jacksonville, yes, but it also has Osceola County.

So Andrew Jackson is a "mixed bag" but Robert E. Lee was evil correct?

In my opinion, yes.
Even Lee's valiant service in the war with Mexico was meant to gain new territory for slaveholders.
Can you name something good the man did that wasn't an effort to preserve or expand slavery?
