Bart Simpson made that joke once, I think they cut it out of future re-runs because religious zealots got mad about it.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
My dad did that in the late 70s and had it inside one of our kitchen cabinets for basically my whole childhood.
CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 1 year ago
But I love, is that it was an Ojibwe woman that was illustrated by an Ojibwe. It was done out of honor and respect…
Then someone decided to get rid of her… Feel free to read into that.
HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 year ago
This, the woman behind Aunt Jemima has a pretty progressive history as well. This just reaks of the usual problems we get from Liberal Virtue Signalling. Creating something incredibly offensive in a poor attempt to be less offensive.
Remember when Cartoon Network discontinued Speedy Gonzales because white people called the character racist, only to reinstate him when Latino and Hispanic watchers were like “Where’s the only Looney Tune that represents us in anyway?”
CraigeryTheKid@lemm.ee 1 year ago
THAT is absolutely the same “point” I made when I first saw it?!!
Ok, so, the person was bad to show, I guess, but now it’s an even better analogy to what the settlers did…
saltesc@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I honestly don’t know why “it’s bad to show”. Like, if the person on the packet isn’t a white man, it’s bad.
We had these growing up in Australia…
Like, that I get now, but it’s worth pointing out no kid in Australia obviously even knew what a “redskin” was. Hell, I thought Comanches and Apaches were snakes because of the Huey Cobra.
Wait a second… Oh my god, just realised a Blackhawk isn’t named after a hawk, this is also a native American peoples. Like the NHL team, duh. And that’s my wife’s second fav team because she thinks it’s a cool logo and “I’m glad they’re repping the native Americans.”
See?
Anyway, I strayed from my point. I really like seeing other cultures on stuff. Seems a shame to remove that stuff, kind of disingenuous or disrespectful. If there’s a dark history, no one’s researching that, they’re more interested in other things like buttering some toast and then deciding to put a documentary about native Americans on because of the cool image.

Some board room somewhere
Bossman "Alright team, what should we change to ensure our company is not seen as racist according to white people on twitter?
Person 1 “Increase represtation of different races and cultures across our brands?” ejector seat activated
Person 2 “Hire someone qualified to have this conversion?” ejector seat activated
Person 3 "Get rid of Aunt Jemima so people don’t accosiate our brand with black people anymore?
Bossman “brilliant! Someone get me a raise for coming up with that.”
the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
It’s not about associating the brand with black people. Aunt Jemima was a mammy, straight out of a ministrel show. She was a racist stereotype of the loving and attentive house slave
helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They could have come up with a new character…instead they got rid of it all together. Just say its Jemima’s niece who carries on the recipe.
Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No, she was an accurate depiction of actual Black Southern grandmas, both pre and post slavery. The whole “this represents slavery” thing was bullshit cooked up by white people. My 3rd grade teacher looked EXACTLY like Aunt Jemima and she made some bomb-ass cookies.
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
Was really confused why you would prefer plastic over glass, but then i understood what was meant by “her”.
CaptainPedantic@lemmy.world 1 year ago
For something slow moving and sticky like fake maple syrup, a plastic bottle will let you squeeze the syrup out instead of waiting for it to slowly drip down to the nozzle.
Chocrates@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You can warm the bottle to make is more viscous. Old plastic bottles would make me worried about micro plastic, but micro plastic is already in all the cells in my body so I should stop caring
Fades@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah exactly, what really makes it worth it are the microplastics!

epicsninja@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The Aunt Jemima brand was changed to Pearl Milling Company due to it being based on a racist charicture. Pearl Milling Company was the name of the company before they created the Aunt Jemima brand, in the late 1800s. Upset by this change, this fellow is pouring syrup into an old Aunt Jemima brand bottle, and implicitly threatening violence against whoever would try to stop him. However, he is using Millville brand, which as far as I can tell is unrelated to the Pearl Milling Company.
RudeOnTuesdays@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Aunt Jemima as a brand was discontinued as it was based on a racist stereotype. The person in the picture is decanting fake maple syrup into an old Aunt Jemima bottle.
abbadon420@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Read the wiki en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aunt_Jemima
Brand was discontinued in 2020 due to racial stereotyping.

That handgun looks like a rare 1911 Commander made by Ruger manufactured in Newport, NY. Those things are expensive.

Americans and their high fructose corn syrup addiction.
Pissnpink@feddit.uk 1 year ago
It’s the cheapest sugar option in the us, so it goes in everything that’s not a “premium” brand, and even then it might still have it in there.
CraigeryTheKid@lemm.ee 1 year ago
And products that “remove” it replace it with glucose-fructose, or sometimes even pure fructose, which hilariously shows both that companies don’t give a fuck, AND consumers are really stupid on average.
Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
American manufacturers. We’re stuck with what we get and that shit’s in everything.
Most anyone you’d ask here will tell you they prefer sugar and we’ll take that option whenever it’s available and not stupidly expensive.

EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
A buddy of mine and I did some research into the real-life aunt Jemima.
Apparently she was a really cool lady.
brown567@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
The African American Registry of the United States suggests Nancy Green and others who played the caricature of Aunt Jemima should be celebrated despite what has been widely condemned as a stereotypical and racist brand image. The registry wrote, “We celebrate the birth of Nancy Green in 1834. She was a Black storyteller and one of the first Black corporate models in the United States.”
brown567@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for the black population. She used her stature as a spokesperson to advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for individuals in Chicago.
HaleHirsute@infosec.pub 1 year ago
I saw news reporting about it at the time, and if I recall correctly her descendants were actually proud of her being the mascot and thought it was cool.
EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
“Her descendants like her image being on the syrup bottles! BUT THAT’S A HECKIN RACISM!”

Reminds me of when they tried to kill Speedy Gonzales. It sure as heck wasn’t mexicans that were complaining then, we love that little mofo.

Is that an original tanker’s 1911?!
Carmakazi@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s some Star model pistol, looks like a 1911 but not quite, and in 9mm.
