So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
I always thought Aunt Jemima was pretty cool.

After Aunt Jemima, people call to cancel Uncle Ben's and Mrs. Butterworth's
Following Quaker Foods' announcement Wednesday that it will scrap the 130-year-old Aunt Jemima breakfast brand name over its "racist stereotype" origins, critics are now also calling for an end to the Uncle Ben's and Mrs. Butterworth's logos.
Mars Inc., the parent brand of Uncle Ben's, immediately took note and has already announced it will be "evolving" the logo.
"As we listen to the voices of consumers, especially in the black community, and to the voices of our associates worldwide, we recognize that one way we can do this is by evolving the Uncle Ben's brand, including its visual brand identity," a Mars Inc. spokesman tells The Post.
Aunt Jemima logo change: Are Uncle Ben's, Mrs. Butterworth's next?

Soooo .... according to another thread, people are complaining about little white boys (they're actually elves, if you look at their ears) on Rice Crispies - why aren't they dark skinned???
BUT now. ... Take the black people off the labels ....
I'm confused.

When I saw the headline re: Aunt Jemima, I said to Hubby: "OK, who's next Uncle Ben?!"
And sure enough - BAM! - There it is.

Little Black kids were called "Pic-A-Ninnies" back in the day - Yet another derogatory term that was used to describe us.
