Only if you're a lefty.
Cross-drawing at the table is rude.
The table isn't set for breakfast yet.
What are you talking about? The breakfast gun is there. Table set.
/s
I forgot what passes for dining in some parts of the country.
No no, breakfast gun goes on the right side, what's wrong is it's laying the wrong way.
This guy eats breakfast safely

All that drama for dyed corn syrup.
Reminds me of land o lakes butter. They got rid of the indian but they kept the land.
What 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.
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?"
Some company decided to change their logo because it looks dated and might give the wrong impression. How is this even a problem?
As for liberals causing problems, yeah maybe they go a bit too far some times and can be over sensitive. But the other side is literally trying to take us back to theocracy, where women only have the rights their husbands will allow them. They're not even pretending otherwise any more. I'll take oversensitive over that any day.

They ruined it!
Bart Simpson made that joke once, I think they cut it out of future re-runs because religious zealots got mad about it.
Ah, so he did! I'd forgotten about that. The first time I saw it was in a Beavis and Butt-head comic.

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...
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.

This would be true if what you were seeing was culturally representative. "Redskin" is a racial slur and the images on that package are racist caricatures. All of it was created by white men, using Native Americans as mascot for their product.
These images were not created by or for Native Americans, and they are racist and insulting.
The most disrespectful thing you could do is to keep using images like this. The most disingenuous thing you could do is argue that they earnestly represent the cultures they depict.

This is pretty much how I feel about it. Heck my ancestry is French and I'm still salty as hell over Pepe LePew vanishing from existence.

I don't think Mr. Butterworth would appreciate you filling his wife with your syrup.
Unironically this, I'm sorry they want to decrease visibility of black people and call that fighting racism?
We can't have Aunt Jemima, but Captain Crunch's cracker ass is still joining us for breakfast?

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."
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
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.

That pistol appears to be cocked and not locked (safety off). I seriously hope there's no round chambered.
This actually came out a few days before the brand change: https://www.theonion.com/quaker-oats-replaces-historically-racist-aunt-jemima-ma-1844015205
I really wish someone would create a "loud honky" brand mascot...
Guy Fieri?
I came here for a sensible chuckle, not to have my fucking mind blown.

A buddy of mine and I did some research into the real-life aunt Jemima.
Apparently she was a really cool lady.
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.
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.
"Her descendants like her image being on the syrup bottles! BUT THAT'S A HECKIN RACISM!"
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."
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.
So instead of celebrating her on the bottle, or doing something to recognize her... They go the other direction and just remove her.
Eyup, this is how you know it's performative instead of actually fighitng racism.
Activists tripping over their own feet....as usual.
That handgun looks like a rare 1911 Commander made by Ruger manufactured in Southport, CT. Those things are not cheap.

Last time I saw white people get this fanatical over a black woman it was because she was handing them free minivans.
