Did Eskimos express their outrage about the pies?
|
|
|
^ dont know , just read about it.
|
|

Ms. Jemima expressed her outrage.
She never should have sold her syrup business to venture capitalists.
Those people fuck everything up.

Nancy green aka aunt jemima was a real person and one of the first black millionares. She was well paid for her services.
|
|
|
If she was a millionaire why did she put a picture of herself looking like mammy from Gone with the Wind on her box of pancakes
|
|

Dude, google nancy green

Dude google caricature, sterotype, racism and Aunt Jeremiah.

OK, I did look at Snopes.
Don't know if it's reliable but here's what I got.
"But Green did not die a millionaire. In fact, she could not live off the earnings she made from her portrayal of Aunt Jemima, and continued to work as a housekeeper until a few years before her death in 1923."
In “Clinging to Mammy: The Faithful Slave in Twentieth-Century America,” Micki McElya writes that in 1900, Green listed her occupation as a “cook.” While this may have referred to her job demonstrating pancake mix as Aunt Jemima, in 1910, she was working as a “housekeeper.”
In that year (1900) she listed her occupation as “cook,” which could have referred to her job demonstrating Aunt Jemima pancake mix or else indicated that her primary employment remained in domestic service. The latter was the case in 1910, when she reported her job as “housekeeper” in a private residence. Performing as the trademarked mammy was not her primary job by that time, if it ever had been.
We reached out to McElya for more information about what monetary payments Green received for her portrayal of Aunt Jemima. McElya couldn’t point to a specific dollar amount, but she did say that she “found no evidence that Nancy Green died a millionaire in 1923,” and that “the available evidence suggests otherwise.”
In her obituary, there is no mention of her being wealthy. It looks like part of the marketing story.

Theres not anything more racist than normalizing the name Redskins for a football team and putting an indian chief head as the logo. That shit right there needs to be changed. Image there was a team called the blackskins or the whiteskins?

Redskins is racist
I like that the tribes are good with naming military helicopters after them, though.
It's a warrior culture and they get to approve the names....
Apache, Black Hawk, Kiowa, Lakota, Comanche.

The Cream of Wheat guy actually represents a Pullman porter (if you know what that was) which was considered to be a relatively high-status job in the black community about 100 years ago. If these people really cared about negative stereotypes about black folks, they would go after the producers of all these rap and hip-hop videos who portray young black males as violent, sexist, misogynist, criminally inclined and have no clue how to properly wear a pair of pants. But of course it has NOTHING to do with "racism". It's about foisting a guilt trip on Corporate America and shaking them down for special favors and "donations" to their preferred charities (i.e. the ones employing friends and family).

You know what’s racist....
The Triple A North Dakota Baseball team called the Caucasian Little Dicks.
That shit ain’t right!

This thing is a slippery slope.
Theres the Redskins,.. agreed. But also Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves, Chicago Blackhawks, Edmonton Eskimos, and the Super Bowl champ KC Chiefs.
Then theres College sports that really elevate mascots, imagery, and musical fanfare...
Florida St Seminoles... Riding a horse to midfield with war drums banging, fight song playing and drives a spear into the ground gets the crowd going. The Alumni would kill anyone who wants that gone.
SDSU Aztecs mascot with traditional dress and ritual.
Theres a shit load of colleges with mascot names derived from indigenous people. Is it really offensive to go watch a football game and see that?
If so I would think theres a way to have the mascots visual "showmanship" modified in a way that celebrates the culture rather than completely erase.

|
|

As an Italian heritage, I asked my grandmother who emigrated from Naples what the word WOP meant. She said it's what the Irish immigration officers call the Italians fresh off the boat, it stood for With Out Papers. My grandmother hated the Irish...

The Redskins name is racist anyway you look at it
If the Indians, Chiefs and Braves wanna give money yearly to indian reservations and those there are cool with it then ok. Other than that its just exploitation.

How soon they forget the "Trail of Tears"
|
|

I don't know if these products are just now racist. These depictions have been racist all along. It's just that now many more of us are aware of it.
|
|
|
I think Eskimos are smug
|
|

When racists and whack jobs got nowhere else to share their nonsense, hx is here. And here they are above in these comments.
Just don't make the mistake of engaging these poopheads. They're beyond help...
No there was never an Aunt Jemima. It is a racist caricature from a minstrel show.
And yeah all those other names, especially native sports team mascots and product brands-- racist AF, gotta go. Shoulda been done years ago.
People act like it's some conspiracy. No companies are changing because consumers reject teams and products with racist images.
All about $$$

@SixD 4,000 indians died in the 1838 to 1839 from Trail of Tears relocation.
Put that in perspective 120,000 people have died from coronavirus in just 4 months.
