Land O’ Lakes ditched the Indian maiden in two steps. First was the 1920’s version (the one with the boob knees) then last year’s portrait version replacement.
A VERY harsh cartoon, but of course to get people’s attention the ol’ two-by-four ploy is sometimes necessary. (And just think: it’s already been twenty bleedin’ years since Spike Lee’s film, “Bamboozled”!)
The thing I always wondered about Aunt Jemima is this why was FAKE syrup as it is sugar water with a bit of maple flavoring sold as something southern? After all real maple syrup comes from the Northeast US, North center US and Canada. Not that fake syrup will ever grace my cupboard
This ignorant PC culture is destroying history. Has anyone taken time to read about Aunt Jemima. This was brought up in Orwell’s book “1984” and it’s happening now. We are doomed by our own stupidity.

People wonder about Mrs. Butterworth. She’s white. Charlie Weaver (Cliff Arquette) played her in television ads back in the day.

Could RuPaul step in? I’m waffling on that idea.
