Aunt Jemima, Gone. Lol

That is what is funny because there were complaints about Jemima off and on for quite some time.

Speaking to some friends they said that forget the violence and looting but the protests are ALWAYS ignored. Whitey wants to pat themselves on the back fo finally doing something. What Blacks were in power from 1890 to 1960 to have an effect on getting rid of offensive symbols?

Black people have complained about Jemima and things like that for some time and white corporate America usually just brushed it off. So when people say why did no one care before...

Actually it was that people were not listening. It took some rioting and awful things to happen for whitey to say...wait....you mean you did not like that?

Years ago a CEO could say something racists and it would be brushed off. Now they are forced to resign and get out (see owner of Clippers, CEO of CrossFit).

Now the pendulum might be swinging way too far with the Gone With the Wind shit but I cna understand the frustration for decades and suddenly some fucktards sit in a park in Seattle and claim they are changing the world. Where the fuck where you in 1960....1970....1950...

Not sure I can agree with all of this - you're saying that complaints have been made on AJ for a long time and finally they get to the breaking point? Complaints are made on lots of things and are ignored because we - normally - ignore the fringe complaints.

Still, can you imagine what we could do if we put all this energy behind correcting real problems? You know, like curing cancer? Or eliminating human trafficking? How about sound economic policy? Fixing medical insurance? Hell, I can name about two dozen things were in the course of a year we'd have a solution if this kind of energy was behind it.

Instead, we want to change historical characters on a syrup bottle.
 
Did you think it shoudl be removed back in 1980 when Black people complained about it? I believe I saw an All thigns Considered episode with commentators saying the image is offensive and should be changed.

The problem is just because whites are NOW listening to complaints that were being made for years and years, we expect Blacks to be so thankful for the sudden wokeness. WHy did it take protests at this magnitude for whitey to say having an image rooted in a Mammy should be changed.
I think it's a name on a bottle of syrup and if we're this far down on the list of grievances then I am left to assume all forms of racial discrimination have been resolved.

Not until the Pope declares Jesus a brother. That's a lot of statues...
 
Where wasall of this outrage when they took the woman off of land o lakes butter?

Can someone tell me how to short a post.

Sure, just flag it and when the world implodes just quote it and say see I told you so, if we didn’t do away with aunt jemima pancake syrup the world would be singing kumbaya.
 
It's all fake oppression, there is no oppression in the United States, none, nada, zero, doesn't exist. You can't own a iPhone and call yourself oppressed. You know who is oppressed? The kid in the Congo mining the ore for the phone, that's who is oppressed. You can't own a pair of Nike shoes and call yourself oppressed? The slave labor children making those shoes, they're oppressed.
King James like to call the NBA owners slave masters who then pay him tens of millions to play a fucking game, but this ungrateful fuck has no problem taking more millions from the actual slave trading shoe company.
What we have going on is emblematic of a nation with too much wealth, too much opportunity, too much free time, and far too much sense of self importance. Life is simply too easy here in America. The question is often asked, why do the radical Islamist hate us so much and the simpletons will answer, they hate us for our freedom. No morons, they hate us for living like Kings and then bitching about it like a bunch of whiney cunts.
