Nah, I hear that's your way of earning beer money. I don't drink beer Karen. BUT I pay men to suck their dicks.
I hear you'll do it for free.

R.I.P. Aunt Jemima. The OG thicc mama.
"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.
you really are a Braindead Stupid idiot Aunt Jemima was a real person her name was Nancy Green. You probably wouldn't know that because you were a pre school dropout. AND Unlike you I supply links www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxla.com/news/the-real-history-of-aunt-jemima-and-the-brands-first-model-nancy-green.amp

I don't get how eliminating positive images of blacks and replacing them with white centric logos is fighting racism.

Image such as Aunt Jemima are NOT positive images of blacks. They are Jim Crow images of an obese, subservient black woman who has subsumed her own family and race in service to the White family.
Try again, you can do better.

That's like saying Mr. Whipple (Charmin) was a real person whose name was Dick Wilson, or Mother Nature (Chiffon Margarine) was a real person whose name was Dena Dietrich.

Yours is the traditional racist viewpoint.
Try educating yourself about WHY people object to the Aunt Jemima myth.
OTOH, you can lead a donkey to water...

It's sad you don't see that.

It's sad you don't see that. So is Betty Crocker and Little Debby and Wendy. What's your point? It isn't used because it creates a negative image for the company. It is used because it attracts people to the product. No one has a negative view of Aunt Jemima. Aunt Jemima is used because she conjures up the image of someone that can bake. If you want to make the case that only white women should be used for that role, then maybe you should take a good long look at your views.

It's beneath me to even attempt to explain it to you.

I'm all for substituting stick figures instead of images of people on products. I guess I was not race-conscious enough to consider that Uncle Ben's and Aunt Jemima were victimized people of color that were chosen to represent admired and respected brands in America. Race consciousness and victimhood are not attributes with which we are born---in my opinion, they must be taught...like racism.
Kellogg's needs to update their Rice Krispies cereal characters' names and wardrobes from Snap! Crackle! and Pop! to something more along the lines of Snoop! Crack! and Puff Diddy where they wear hoodies, pants hanging around their glutes, adorned with sunglasses and gold chains, gold teeth, tattoos, etc. The cereal might even have miniature marshmallow crack pipes, rings, 9mm guns, and other mementos indicative of today's modern culture. Yes, it's time to demand change.

Its hard to take these white-wing crocodile tears seriously.
If you don't see how plantation style imagery is offensive, you're never going to get BLM. Better to turn off cable news, log off the internet and watch some Bonanaza.
This world will never make sense to you.

You cannot pretend that you are that ignorant of context anymore. It doesn't work in today's society. We assume that you are either smarter than that and pretending that you aren't (to what end?), or that you aren't smarter than that, so your opinions don't matter.
