Dayum!
Quaker Oats is retiring the more than 130-year-old Aunt Jemima brand and logo, acknowledging its origins are based on a racial stereotype.
"As we work to make progress toward racial equality through several initiatives, we also must take a hard look at our portfolio of brands and ensure they reflect our values and meet our consumers' expectations," the company said in a statement first obtained by NBC News.
Aunt Jemima's appearance has evolved over time. The brand's origin and logo is based off the song "Old Aunt Jemima" from a minstrel show performer. The company's website said the logo started in 1890 and was based on Nancy Green, a "storyteller, cook and missionary worker." The Aunt Jemima brand was purchased by Quaker Oats in 1926. PepsiCo bought Quaker Oats in 2001.
There have been repeated calls for the company to change the logo. In 2017, the husband of the late B. Smith called on the company to change it and said it was the epitome of "female humiliation."

It's really bad when you're so stupid I have to explain how stupid you are..
With the possible exception of Amos and Andy none of the programs you mentioned qualify as "racist" .. Aunt Jemima however was a minstrel show character and stereotypically portrayed as "mammy"..
It would be like truck driver portrayed as a cap-wearing gap-toothed half-wit with a hillbilly accent and atrocious breath .. .. too close to home?  |

I don't drink beer Karen. I'm so ugly men won't allow me to suck their dicks even if I pay them. I heard you paid Solar to do you with his wooden leg.
Which may account for how bitter and heartbroken Road Apple is today, without his wooden joy stick.

"Aunt Jemima" wasn't a real person. She was an invention of the day, when it was considered acceptable to strip black women of their civil rights, make them entirely subservient to their white employers to the extent that they rejected their own families and kind. Racist whites ate it up - quite literally, on their pancakes in the morning. It's a racist meme that should have been retired long ago.
Of course, I know how you are - or were - and you won't accept any of that as being good enough reason to retire the name and the image.
