Aunt Jemima to remove image from packaging and rename brand

 

The breakfast brand Aunt Jemima is removing its logo and will be renamed, amid public outcry that the branding perpetuated a racist stereotype, its parent company said Wednesday.

 

Quaker Oats said in a statement that the longtime brand will remove the controversial image of Aunt Jemima from its line of maple syrups, pancake mixes and other foods starting at the end of 2020, and the name change will happen at a later date.

 

“We recognize Aunt Jemima’s origins are based on a racial stereotype," Kristin Kroepfl, vice president and chief marketing officer of Quaker Foods North America, said in a statement to NBC News. "While work has been done over the years to update the brand in a manner intended to be appropriate and respectful, we realize those changes are not enough.”

 

Dr. Riché Richardson, an associate professor of African American literature in the Africana Studies and Research Center at Cornell University, has been calling for the change since she wrote a 2015 editorial for The New York Times titled "Can We Please, Finally, Get Rid of 'Aunt Jemima?'"

 

"It's an image that hearkens back to the antebellum plantation," Richardson told Sheinelle Jones on TODAY Wednesday. "Aunt Jemima is that kind of stereotype that is premised on this idea of Black inferiority and otherness.

 

"It is urgent to expunge public spaces of a lot of these symbols that for some people are triggering and represent terror and abuse."

 

Quaker Oats, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, owns the Aunt Jemima brand, which has been around for more than 130 years. The logo features an image of a smiling Black woman that has been criticized for years for depicting a racist stereotype dating back to slavery. The company has made changes to soften the image over the years, including removing the character's kerchief.

 

“We acknowledge the brand has not progressed enough to appropriately reflect the confidence, warmth and dignity that we would like it to stand for today,” Kroepfl said. “We are starting by removing the image and changing the name. We will continue the conversation by gathering diverse perspectives from both our organization and the Black community to further evolve the brand and make it one everyone can be proud to have in their pantry.”

 

Pepsi also said the Aunt Jemima brand will donate $5 million to create "meaningful, ongoing support and engagement in the Black community."

 

The rebrand comes after “Aunt Jemima” became a trending topic on Twitter Tuesday, with many users criticizing the company for maintaining the name and logo for so long.

They scream "RACISM" but after all the black faces are erased, they will cry that's racists too.

'Where did all the Black images go? Why dont they use us in Commercials, TV, ads, etc.'

Wasnt there a recent article launch about White TV Domination? And that was "Racists". MIND FUCKERY.

It's ridiculousness. Bitching just to bitch.

Just for Kek's I find this interesting.

Known about this brand and use it, but recently found this little fun fact.

 

"Terpene Deficiency Syndrome (TDS)" What if TDS isn't JUST Trump Derangement Syndrome?

 

"A walk in nature can expose you to thousands of different terpenes. Have you ever escaped to the woods to find a sense of calm? You may not have known it, but you were Forest Bathing—exposing yourself to terpenes and reaping their physical and psychological benefits. While human ancestors grew up among these plants and evolved to thrive surrounded by them, the rise of industrialization and urbanization has removed us from these essential terpenes. So much so that the rise in the incidence of stress, anxiety, sadness, and discontent may even be a result of the emergence of Terpene Deficiency Syndrome (TDS), a syndrome defined by Dr. Fishman."

 

The Brand is also Kek worthy. MONQ.

I've talked with several people who work for Edwards AFB. None of them have a clue. Hate POTUS.

Lockheed and Northrup same. Not saying they're not in the know, but clearly have bought into the fake narrative that the traitors ex mil / fired, are victims of a dangerous President.

Feel bad for them being so lost.
