Patriot Retort: Because seeing a smiling black woman on the packaging for pancakes and syrup is triggering, the company that has the iconic image of a Quaker is going to send their iconic image of Aunt Jemimah packing.
I wonder if the Quaker Oats Guy is safe?
Are the Quakers quaking in their shoes at the triggering sight of a Quaker on Quaker Foods products?
Has anyone checked?
Twenty or so years ago Quaker Foods already gave Aunt Jemima a bit of an upgrade. If you’re old (or oldish like me), you might recall that the original Aunt Jemima looked like a caricature of Mammie from “Gone with the Wind.” So Quaker replaced her with the current image — stripping her of that “the help does the cooking” kind of look.
And, really? I don’t blame Quaker Foods for doing that back then. The original Aunt Jemima image was more than a little stereotypey. Is that a word?
And that’s the thing. The current iteration of Aunt Jemima is innocuous. There’s nothing about her that is fraught with negative stereotypes. But even she is too “triggering” for the never satisfied brand bullies. more here
I think Joy Behar in blackface would be a perfect character for lard products, in a pinch maybe substitute Whoopi.
They could always put Michelle Obama’s disapproving scowl on your syrup bottle. Sort of like Franklin on the $100 bill.
Nobody is safe in a diverse and multicultural society.
You mean TransQuaker, right?
All of the riots and looting and arson the last several weeks have got me to thinking about a movie that came out in 2008. It’s called ‘Back to Africa’.
Who cares about
Barbara Bushthe Quaker Oats guy? Has anyone checked on Uncle Ben? He’s not OK right now…Can the retards make up their minds. They complain about Aunt Jemima and then complain that the rice Krispies box has no black person.
Gee, should I be insulted with the Chef Boyardee image? What about the ubiquitous caricature of the Italian chef wearing a toque featured on countless pizza boxes across the country? 2020 sucks.
Why do people who hate stereotypes always act so stereotypical?
Little Debbie Snack Cakes, official food of Team Biden.
they will change his name to cracker!
Nice knowing ya, Count Chocula
I’d like to submit my picture for consideration on the Krusteaz box.
Hell, the pyramids aren’t safe in this environment.
They’ll come for Colonel Sanders first. That white suit…
…he’s Christian, so he can’t go to Friends meetings, is going to have to wear a mask, has to renounce everything the Bible says about homosexuality because, Title IX, and also will be required to make dhimmi tax payments untl the Muslims are ready to behead him, but for now he can stay.
Gonna have to set him up with a cross he’ll be required to sew on his clothes, too.
You know, to make him easier to identify, later, for..reasons…
gin blossom, I was told that black people built the pyramids when they was kaings. Without slave labor, of course.
If you have a TV commercial with people in it, at least half of the people, but preferably all of them have to be black, or you get “black listed” by the mob. Same thing with print ads. Now, it seems to be even more messed-up with product labels; if you depict a black person, it’s demeaning and racist, if you depict a white person (even if it’s a cartoon), it’s exclusionary and racist. I’m beginning to see a pattern. Within the next 2 years, ALL product labels will remove any representation of a person. Same with TV commercials, because using any black people in them would be exploitation. Next question: Should a bag of dog food have a black dog or white dog on the package?
Let’s make it fair: Horse cart races at dawn…
The Keebler elves are a little iffy
Tell the idjits that all Quakers were slavetrading tyrants.
I want to watch them climb Phila. City Hall to topple William Penn.
Somebody get Austin Powers on the videophone!
Is that a Quaker Oats guy? Really?
I always thought it was Queen Karen. Queen of all the Karens.
