This was due to George Floyd which creates a massive racial reckoning. Corporations both Republican and liberal leaning caved into the demands of the woke left and here we are today. The death of George Floyd was used as a power grab to fundamentaly change America.
This is true.
George Floyd is like the George Washington of the modern woke movement. He's one of the founders of the "woke, racial justice" era.
What's that say about your cause when your founding father is a societal lowlife, drug addicted felon who fights with police and OD'ed on dope during his final altercation.
The "people" who were offended by Aunt Jemima was a small fraction of the overall population - white and female who invoked their patron hero - Super Wokester White Girl
I don't believe anyone was actually offended. This was a proactive virtue signal, that's all.
The same demented logic was responsible for pulling COPS off the air in a bizarre, kneejerk reaction.

Live On Patrol’s YouTube streams are better anyway. Not only is the actual sheriff patrolling and putting in street time, he’s a good cop, and it shows how...boring much of the job is. Not some dramatized thing like Cops or Live PD. Another great one, The First 48 really put the first nail in the coffin of shows like those anyway, it’s more thoughtful with at least some type of human emotion mixed in.
It's funny how half of the left is saying this is just a coincidental case of a company re-branding and has nothing to do with the left and/or the woke. The other half are going into deep dives about how Aunt Jemima was a racist depiction and everything that is wrong with America.
That is not true. First, many conservatives posting here were born after the Jim Crow era, unless I am very much mistaken. (Even the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia defines the era as being from 1877 to 1964. https://www.ferris.edu/htmls/news/ji...ne/jimcrow.htm Surely there are some conservatives who were born after 1964!)
Second, many conservatives (by their own admission) were liberals until fairly recently. I am one of them, and I voted for Obama in 2008.
The Southern Democrats were the conservatives until 1964, when they crossed the aisle to join the republicans. Southern Democrats were not anything like today's Democratic Party, and would not be at all welcome. They were the conservatives who engineered Jim Crow.

I would think the ones complaining the loudest here would be the ones most delighted by the removal of a black face from their breakfast. What a strange world.
huh? ...I thought that was Stacy Abrams on the box?
Hmmm.
Are you saying you can't tell them apart?

Aunt Jemima is the acceptable sort of black - the one telling small-scale racists that it's OK to feel nostalgic for a recent past where blacks knew their place. There was a guy upthread saying that bit out loud - that now, black actors in commercials act all educated and knowledgeable and stuff, and how unpleasant that is.
