Sounds like a plantation’: Aunt Jemima’s long awaited rebrand flops pretty spectacularly
After 7 months and 3 weeks, the article about the Aunt Jemima name change is still getting comments. Today, a new related article was published and the name change seems to be a flop and everyone is still POed!
Even my wife stated today, she'll never buy that syrup again because they took away it's treasured brand name. Old article link:

There is some strange desire to erase history, for sure. But there's more to this than just that. It got me thinking...which is always dangerous. If we really want to attack racism wouldn't we attack racists instead of doing this? We call a bottle of delicious maple syrup racist and change it...instead of targeting legitimate racists. Now...being racist isn't illegal (yet) but I'm talking about those who break our existing laws. (We don't need any more laws, either).
Just the other day I was in a high-level meeting where a lady running the meeting said that the next person employed would have to be a "non-white female". (For reference, this was in California). I found that statement offensive. Why not just hire somebody who can be very effective?
I'm probably not making sense. In short...none of these steps like this one will help inclusion or tolerance. The best way to fight racial injustice and prejudice is to do what I've done - raise children to only judge a person by the content of their character vs. the color of their skin. I picked up my son from a local park the other day where some kids were using the "N" word like it was ok. My son said, "I've never said that word. Ever." At ten years old he asked me, "Dad, what's a 'black' person?" He didn't know, even though his collection of friends cover the full spectrum. All this pointing at statues and stomping on their heads when they're pulled down, pointing at maple syrup and such...this isn't going to get done what they say they want done. I will say I'm not opposed to renaming some pro sports teams. So be it... And, to be clear...I'm not opposed to this name change. I just don't think it will accomplish anything.
PS...the racist are the one's complaining...
I am opposed to renaming anything except the creatures that want to rename stuff...let's change THEIR name to STUPID PARASITICAL HUMANOIDS!
Billions given to BLM by corporate America. Mark Cuban eliminates the national anthem before his basketball games ,what a privileged leftist delete.
NFL and all sports slandering patriotism and disenfranchising their fan base. Bad is good and good is bad . MASA instead of MAGA. Make America Shitty Again. My temper is at the boiling point.
It's not about the syrup nor a name...it's about the effect of their stupidity upon our civilization, our society and our lives.
