Renaming
 

They could rename black friday good friday since there are good sales, oops already taken....how about Friday the 13th, nope too scary, .....maybe protest friday, nope looting is free...i am out of ideas:bigbow::bigbow:

The companies have already announced that Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben and Mrs. Butterworth will retire before the year is out.

So ridiculous, the people who have been the "Aunt Jemima" over the years have no problem with it.

Dress her up make her the mom with kids running her household taking care of her family before heading to her office.

What in the world is wrong with that?

I suppose Black Friday is next. If a company is showing a profit, it means that they are in the black. Is that racist? It seems that no one wants to offend a particular group for fear of repercussions. The pandering by corporate America and the national so-called "leaders" is beyond ridiculous and laughable. It is insanity and totalitarian in its purest form. God bless our great nation.

Sorry, Stu
 

Sorry, Stu. IMO, there is nothing wrong with it. I stated in another post that, as a child unaware of "race", Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, and other product reps were people that we liked and trusted to provide us with good food we liked. We weren't taught that there was anything wrong with them or that we should look down on them. Sadly, some folks were and others are offended. So, we will lose symbols that were not intended to be icons of ideology, but somebody was told it was, so it must be so.
I believe in equality and equal opportunity and equal rights and equal protection under the law. The shaming, guilt tripping and finger pointing has become counter productive in many areas and will go to ridiculous extremes. Example, is Yogi Bear a racist symbol? NO! But, someone looking for a fight will be sure to point out that he is brown and a thief of pic-a-nic baskets and therefore a racial insult resulting in the labeling of all cartoonists as racists. The ridiculousness goes on and the division gets wider. It is nuts. We all need a hug but can't get one because of covid.
Stay well. Stay safe. Peace!

I agree when I was growing up I just thought they were good cooks.

Didn't Aunt Jemima come up with recipe?

Her name is on the package so she must have.

Don't know for sure, doesn't matter anyway. George Clooney does not design Nespresso products

They are coming after Splash Mountain too. I am sure Walt Disney said something once that infers he was a racist. Probably have to tear the whole park down or at least rename it.

What next pave our federally funded highways shades of grey so as not to offend anyone.....

Luckily for me I invented a clear shade of asphalt so I will be cleaning up.

Willing to sell some share of stock in my new company at a great discount.:bigbow:

Seattle actually started this nonsense years ago by trying to ban the term "Brown bag" lunch. lol

There'''s more to Seattle '''brown bag''' racial controversy than meets the eye

So in other words we should ban everything with the names brown or black or red or yellow.

Clear will be the new in color as it will probably not offend anyone
