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.

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.

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