These racial issues happen with every minority because it's usually white people spearheading the advertising campaigns and they don't do enough research. You see it a lot with Asian models being made to be stereotypical as well. Just give it time. I mean, it took over 100 years for Jemima.

You're being really disingenuous in this topic. There's nothing wrong with using black people in advertising and you know that. There are problems with using racial stereotypes from bygone eras as the mascot of your brand. Because to me, it just looks like black people have to be removed from all products.

But not every black woman on a product is a mammy. I never saw Aunt Jemima like many. Barely anyone did. Just a black lady who was somebody's aunt... That being said, the word Aunt was part of the problem. It's what caused that one person to see her as a mammy, apparently.

LinkPizza 02/11/21 8:53:18 AM #79 | FatalAccident posted... Did any black people in America ever complain about this though I think it's a non-issue that really shouldn't have even been brought up... And I think it was very few people altogether that had an issue with it. Most people didn't make the connection of Aunt Jemima being connected the the roots of the word Aunt. And I don't know about everyone involved, but I've seen more white people (in my own personal experience) who have had more problems with this than black people. My family (who are mostly black) also thought the change was weird and unnecessary... Jen0125 posted... I'm really surprised by you in this topic. This is disingenuous. People found her offensive because she started as a racist "Mammy" stereotype that just carried in through branding. Using a racial stereotype isn't okay just because you're using it as a brand. It's fine if you weren't offended by it as a black person but a lot of people found it in poor taste and discriminatory. That's the thing, though. The racist part seemed to be the name. If they wanna play that game, then the branding isn't the issue. It's the word. But we still use that word. Aunt had racial roots, but we still use the word. So, i don't see it as a problem when used with branding. If Aunt Jemima was white, it apparently wouldn't have been a problem. And if black Jemima was Mrs. Jemima instead, it probably still wouldn't have been a problem. It's just dumb. nobody was claiming it was racist until one dumb fuck said something about it. You don't fight racism by making a non-issue a racist issue. That's just brings in more racism... Aunt Jemima wasn't an issue. Then somebody decided to make it a racist issue. Without that person, nobody would have even cared. Or would have thought racism... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.

In my experience, nobody cared about voice cracks but unwanted boners would make you the butt of all jokes for a long time.
