Aunt Jemimah whom most of us grew up with...a kindly and loving black mammie...is there no shame?
If it now racist to have a smiling and happy black woman on a bottle of maple syrup....I simply ask what can be put on food products (or anything) that is NOT racist?
To me, a smiling black woman is the probably the least racist thing I can think of putting on something. Who the hell looks like at as smiling black woman on a bottle of syrup and thinks racism?
I don’t get it. She was a success story of a previous slave-
In 1890, a former slave named Nancy Green was hired to be the spokesperson forAunt Jemima brand food products.
Green’s identity was first uncovered at the Worlds’ Columbian Exposition in 1893. There were so many people interested in the Aunt Jemima exhibit, police were called for crowd control. Green served pancakes to thousands of people. People loved her warm personality and friendly demeanor, not to mention her cooking. Green was given an award for showmanship at the exposition.
As a result of her dedication, Aunt Jemima received 50,000 orders for pancake mix. Not only did flour sales soar, but Green received a lifetime contract to serve as spokesperson. She was a living legend of the brand until she died in a car accident in September 1923.
She was contracted for the rest of her life to represent the product. She represented a success story, coming from slavery.![]()

So why did they name it Aunt Jemima? Sure, to conjure the loving black servant who left her own kids every morning to feed us white folks with a smile, changed those little white diapers and stayed subservient 'til the day she died. Well, yannow what? That's a degrading stereotype and name. What do you call an old female "Uncle Tom?" Aunt Jemima. I'm surprised it took this long.
There are LITERALLY thousands of women that still serve largely white families EVERYDAY.Great story! Good for Nancy Green.I don’t get it. She was a success story of a previous slave-

Idiot.
What difference does it make, cracker.When was that advertisement aired? Moron.
Jemima was actually the name of one Job’s daughter’s in the bible. She was known as a beautiful woman. Nancy Green had no problem with it, after having been a former slave, and accepted a life long contract.Great story! Good for Nancy Green.I don’t get it. She was a success story of a previous slave-

Does the picture on the fake maple syrup make it taste any better?Aunt Jemimah whom most of us grew up with...a kindly and loving black mammie...is there no shame?

If anyone had researched her they would know she was just that. Her contract allowed her to fight against poverty for others In Chicago as a missionary. Those associating her with mammie know nothing of her and wish to make it a racial issue. Some Black women today still wear head wraps. Should they stop wearing them? It’s just another thing to rage about, under false pretenses. No doubt pushed by Dem whites. Maybe they realize it shows freedom was fought for Blacks, and won, but not by them... They can’t stand it.Great story! Good for Nancy Green.I don’t get it. She was a success story of a previous slave-

I would have changed the image but not the name;
replace the old look with one of a strong, attractive, independent black woman....
