I always looked at Aunt Jemima as sort of a grandmother figure. Nothing racial.

What about "The Colonel" That white cracker image of his means he probably owned slaves. :icon_wink:

The Native American butter maiden is gone from the Land O' Lakes packaging.

The whole world is going nuts! My grandson can’t enjoy paw patrol anymore either. Apparently, it’s a hero cop and I guess children growing up these days can’t look at cops as heroes. Powers that be would rather have them thought of as the enemy. It’s just ridiculous.

They’ve already announced she is going away, as is Uncle Ben’s.

So ridiculous. Who would ever think of any of these figures as having any racial component at all.

Zealots every where and folks ready to pounce upon us if we don't
seem to align with their warped viewpoints

Somebody will say those names are racist for sure.

Wondering what the new name for watermelon will be?
