I read that they are replacing Aunt Jemima with Sheila, "A black female lawyer who enjoys pancakes sometimes"

This is the pretense they give when tearing down statues, that we have nothing to learn of our history, so we need to take down all the statues and monuments. (The reality is that they are destroying those, in hopes that no one will learn the truth about the US's real history, and realize that Black Votes matter to the SJW's, more than Black Lives.


And that nails it! The thing that the clique of latter-day Nazis known as the Democrats hate and fear the most is independent thinking.

After that scandal that occurred when Aunt Jemima and Betty Crocker got caught in a three-way with the Brawny guy, I'm surprised she's lasted this long.

I would be ok with him if they gave him some pupils.
His pupil-less eyes freak me out.

They should put the cocaine back in, they'd probably sell more.

The original Aunt Jemima model, who was born a slave:

https://aaregistry.org/story/nancy-g...l-aunt-jemima/

"In 1893, the Davis Milling Company aggressively began an all-out promotion of 'Aunt Jemima' at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Green, as 'Aunt Jemima,' demonstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes. Green was a hit, friendly, a good storyteller, and a good cook. Her warm and appealing personality made her the ideal 'Aunt Jemima,' a living trademark. Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special policemen were assigned to keep the crowds moving. The Davis Milling Company received over 50,000 orders, and Fair officials awarded Nancy Green a medal and certificate for her showmanship."

I would drive up north to drain it from a tree and make it myself before I would buy one drop of the new woke replacement. It’s time to do a major rethink of everything I buy. I’ve had enough.

No comparison, local maple syrup is what we use at our house (the other stuff is pure corn syrup). I've been to a few "syrup stirring" parties at a friend's farm, where it is slow cooked in an outbuilding over a low fire and stirred with long paddles. A lot of work, but it comes from their own trees and it's delicious.
