Probably because it was a unnecessary change that nobody needed to make. And was kind of weird... People like the stuff they normally get. Sucks when you can't find something you like because of rebranding, Happened to cologne I use to wear once... I think it's pretty weird to make a fuss over something changing slightly when we're literally reading articles about it and you can ask a store employee about such things (not finding what you want). --- girls like my fa <cite>ReturnOfFa posted [p:950500753] in Aunt Jemim...

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.

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. Plus, the word aunt and uncle were brought up when talking about Uncle Ben, which is another stupid change... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
