If you are on board with this article please don’t ever use the length of time something has been established as a precedent. Even is something has been around for 50 years, if it’s wrong it’s wrong.

We now have to change the names on pancake batter? Just to be clear ALL symbols of “Old South” is racial injustice? Or do we just kinda pick and choice? The brand was never seen as homage to African American cooking and culture? Can we remove Snap, Crackle, Pop and the Lucky Charms Leprechaun because it obviously pokes fun at little people and the Irish?

It has been a staple of American breakfast tables for more than a century, but has long faced criticism that its name and likeness are rooted in racist imagery.

“130 years ago two white men created ʻAunt Jemima’ syrup,” Mr. Green said. “Took a Black slave archetype & made her the face of their syrup for profit. Today, that ends. Aunt Jemima is finally being replaced. Those white men made billions appropriating blackness & hopefully rotting in hell.”
