These folks want to exercise mind control as if it’s possible to stop racist thoughts if no imagery is available to trigger the thought but they are ignoring reality and personal responsibility.

Some folks may have been triggered to learn more about the history of the brand which might even have ‘spread’ (Pun intended) to learning more about American history in general.

Have you ever heard of Madame C. J. Walker? If not, there’s a lot to know about her. She was one of America’s first black female millionaire entrepreneurs. Successful black female entrepreneurs actually existed but these woke PC enforcers seem to believe they were all only folklore. Isn’t that hypocritically racist?
Bothers me that nobody talks about the progress we have made over the years. Not perfect but we are much better society than say 100 years ago.

They should have updated Aunt Jemima into a woman taking care of her family and than off to work at a high paying job.

Unfortunately the wrong people have become the leaders of the Blacks in our country. So many have become successful those are the ones who should inspire everyone, not the Sharptons of the world who are only out for themselves.
