Are you on Aunt Jemima's family side:

"It is our history: Families of Aunt Jemima former models oppose Quaker Oats planned brand changes"

or on the BLM side who find who find the usage of black woman's image on the packaging offensive.

This.
I also don't really care either way though, since it has a racist origin.
Only real concern is the apparent "slippery slope" where now whackos think it's open season on canceling anything w/ a minority image/branding. I heard they're going after Uncle Ben now? WTF was wrong with that?
That's the real problem...even when these lunatics sort of have half a point and you're willing to concede something to them, it just encourages them to push further and further, reason be damned.

Why don't they just replace Aunt Jemima with an image of generic white woman, something like Aunt Smith - then everyone would be happy.

I don't see an issue with changing these images because most of them have racist roots. She's a characature of a mammy. It's not relevant anymore.

And I would say of course her family wants to keep it. They probably still get residuals for use of the image.

...the KKK also fly the US flag. And drive cars. And breathe air. The confederate flag is a Southern cultural icon, whereas wanting minorities off packages -- and backing segregation -- are both absurdly fringe and explicitly racist things. Very clear difference. That's why you saw the flag on the roof of the General Lee, but never saw the Duke boys dressed in white robes.

Just pointing out the ignorance

Except youre ignoring the fact that the flag was created by racists, for racists, during a war of racism.
The only people whod idolize that and be proud of it are the extremely ignorant or, you know, racist.

Facts. You want citation? Should I link to the vice-President of the Confederacys speech again? He was one of the founders, hed know what it stood for.

She was a caricature of a mammy. But that was racist and they changed it. There's no way someone could look at the most recent logo of aunt jemima and think "mammy". It's stupid bullshit virtue signaling, just like the fact L'Oreal is removing the words "whitening" and "lightening" from beauty products and some reality companies are now no longer going to use the term "master bedroom".

Yeah thats actually stupid.
gotta change the name of the Master Sword while were at it.

Heres my stance, if the roots are racist, get rid of it and good riddance. But terms like whitening and Master bedroom legit never offended the black community.
This just proves to me that so many people (Companies, in this case) still dont get it.

You consciously base your syrup purchasing decisions off of which mascot is looking at you from the bottle? That doesn't strike you as being more than a little ridiculous?

As a color (or lack of) no.
but if youre interested you should read The Invention of the White Race.
the short version is pre-colonial times (sub 1700s) there was no distinction between white and non white. People were English, or Irish, or Spanish, etc. people werent White or colored. But they knew of Africans since at least the 15th century, they just didnt call them Black. That distinction wasnt necessary until slavers wanted to create a dissimilitude between themselves and their slaves.
It was a marketing tool for slavery.
