  1. Hurry can we find any other product out there with a black person that we don’t think is a good representation of the thugs today? After this is all done are we going to have to hear how there are no black icons out there (systemic racism) and then make Tony the Tiger black to appease them?!

  2. In keeping with this new, predictable development, I’m canceling my tickets to see “Hamilton” before it appears in my community. I’m also never going to another movie with a Black Colored Actress or Black Colored Actor playing the role of a really smart best friend of the White Colored Actress or White Colored Actor. It’s my heartfelt response to Unconscious Racism.

  3. As a former Northerner living in the South for 24 years I can honestly say I never heard a white person refer to a black woman or man as aunt or uncle. Never. Even in 1997 the NYT reporters were assholes

  4. I think it’s great that we’re eliminating all of the products that include black folk as part of the logo. That will leave us with the Quaker Oats Quaker, Mrs. Butterworth, Chef Boyardee, Jimmy Dean, Paul Newman,etc.
    I wonder when product logos will include the likes of Louis Farrakhan, Malcolm X, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson

  5. Will Quaker Oats be next since it might discriminate against non Quakers? Or because some pissant atheist is offended because Quakers are religious. And isn’t the name Mars offensive to all the non Martians out there, and especially if the progtards find out that Mars was the God of War. Stop it now before all brand names are offensive.

  6. We’re going back to the days there were white boxes with generic names in black:
    – RICE
    – OATS
    – CORN FLAKES
    Though even that will offend about half the population (you know which half will complain).

  7. I say we cede New York State to the leftists for them all to move to. They can build the perfect society and leave the rest of us alone.
    If each state were a body part NY would be the anus.

  8. Never fear, they can put Obama’s face on rice cakes, he’d be the ideal icon since he’s bland and boring and you forget you ever ate them 5 minutes after you’ve consumed them.

  9. How about they replace him with Dr. Ben Carson? Then all us white racists would have to acknowledge that black people can be smart and accomplished and black people could be proud of a smart, accomplished… oh, wait, there goes the victimhood extortion racket.

  10. I am an older white guy and I love black licorice especially the Australian soft black licorice. Does that make me racist? If you’re from a red state are you only supposed to eat red licorice, just because. And am I culturally appropriating by eating black licorice? Gimme a friggin break and leave me alone to enjoy whatever I want to eat or drink.

  11. Wait until they discover inside David Lee Roth’s “A Lil’ Ain’t Enough” liner notes there’s a man in black face. Only us really hardcore fans know that. 🤘🥳🤘

    But you could NEVER cancel Diamond Dave bitches!

  12. You would think if white people were offended by seeing black faces on their foodstuffs and they wanted them removed that it would be a racist in every KKKitchen KKKabinet in AmeriKKKa.

    Give ’em what they want. Put Uncle Ben in the projects. Put Auntie Jemima on welfare. George Washington Carver invented Mr. Peanut. The Broadway version of the Kentucky Fried Chicken story will feature a young gay black man as Colonel Sanders.

    I heard they were upset about “three white boys” on the Rice Krispies box. Because we’re in Peak 2020 talking about this bullshit. Snap can stay because he’s the abbreviation for food stamps, Crackle can just be Crack and Pop? Well, nobody can find their Pop.

  13. Fookin’ Pep boys are next.
    I Don’t know where the Hell Pep is, but those white immigrants gotta go
    Rice Krispies is cool because of those gay boys
    Fruit Loops are cool as well
    Change Papa John’s to Daddy Johns and that can stay
    Black Angus steakhouse needs to be ‘transferred’ to Black ownership and it can stay
    Carrol Shelby needs to go out of business for past sins.
    Cream of Wheat can stay if the Black Guy is getting his breakfast delivered by a white servant
    Challenge Butter is challenged to show an urban scene on its cover because (fill in blank)
    Old Dutch cleanser has to go because Old and White is not clean anymore

  14. This all started with Sambo’s, if they would have just held their ground, none of this would be happening maybe? Man they had great pancakes.
    If the left got everything they wanted there would be a new list tomorrow. It’s a spirit that can’t be satisfied. The left has lit the fuse and it won’t stop without the spilling blood. I hope I’m wrong.

  15. Uncle Ben has been culturally appropriating from Asians for decades. I demand a groveling apology (Seppuku acceptable in lieu of verbal and written apology), one million billion dollars and the name changed to Uncle Chan’s Rice.
