Thankfully I never really was that into pancakes.

I never really looked into the history of the mascot or knew what the name means.

Even as a stupid kid, I knew what that bottle was. Did they cancel Uncle Ben yet?

Cancel culture is just getting silly. I can't fathom anyone sincerely being offended by a pancake box.

I used to love Aunt Jemima pancakes, but...then I found the Aldi Pancake mix and I love that waaaaaaaaaaaay more. What about Ms. Buttersworth?

Aunt jemaima was the real deal though, no pre made shit in a box. That bitch in the video though, stay away from the kitchen and do anal prep work cause that's all I'd want from her, cause that voice is annoying.

I'm in no place to say anything, but never took the depiction of Aunt Jemima as racist.
If it goes, it goes. I get it. Maybe it's just something I never looked for or understood.

Look through the history of Aunt Jemima's logo and you'll see sure enough that the brand is racist as fuck.

My bad, Aunt Jemima bottles used to be shaped like a slave woman, I forgot they no longer are, as I never eat pancakes/waffles.

Uhh, dude you're thinking of Mrs. Butterworth. Aunt Jemima is mostly known for pancake mix, and even they're syrup bottles are just bottles.

They'll get around to the white ones eventually.

People have been trying to get Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben outta here for YEARS.

This isn't some new cancel culture outrage in the slightest.

Not to mention the people triggered by those statues getting removed! They have been dead for sometimes centuries after all.

Statues imply respect. It's simply logical to stop honoring people not worthy of it.

I mean, the names are pretty damning.

For anyone who doesn't know, "Aunt" and "Uncle" were how people in the South reconciled respect for one's elders with Black people not being given titles of respect such as Mister or Missus. Separated from its origin, Uncle Ben feels organic as a name. (Just ask Peter Parker what he calls his uncle.) Not so with Aunt Jemima.

I am curious what the rebrandings would be though. "Stop making money because your company was founded upon racism," doesn't seem like a viable option.

In the case of Aunt Jemima its a Quaker product, so I imagine that would be easy

I mean off the top of my head Spike Lee has a documentary about it.
Political, pro-black rap acts (during the early 90's hey-day) have referenced it in songs disparagingly
Oprah talked about being called Aunt Jemima when she first started coming up
The Boys Meets World actress came out calling out being called that during her time on the show
