This is what our children worry about today. Both sad and ridiculous.

This quote straight in the text of the article: "Looks like it only took 130 years for a pancake company to acknowledge the harm that nostalgic depictions of slavery in a grocery store aisle can cause."

Oh, yes, I'm sure people were indelibly scarred by seeing a black woman's face on a syrup bottle.

About time, I always thought, even as a kid, the whole Aunt Jemima thing was weird.

One weird thing I noticed as a child 40 years ago, and it hasn't changed with at least one design update. AUNT JEMIMA'S MOUTH ISN'T CENTERED CORRECTLY ON HER FACE.

As long as they’re DEMOCRATS! Everyone else gets cancelled for anything at all.
