As Dennis Prager says, "EVERYTHING the Left touches, it destroys".

Being Italian, I wouldn't give one popcorn fart if they made a pasta product called (pardon the language) "Vinnie's Dago Guinea Wop Fugedaboudit Fuckin' Rigatoni" and put a profile of John Gotti on the gd box. In fact, I'd probably buy the shit outta the stuff along with "Guido's Fuck You, You Fuckin' Fuck Fugedaboudit" pasta sauce...

Jeezus Christmas......

The Morton Salt white girl has got to go.


All references to crackers must go. What should we call them - crisps? That will really confuse the British.

It's a shame that watermelon, obviously, must go; I like watermelon.

It's cause of her skin color, it's because she's just a salty kinda gal. Wink

The families of two women who portrayed Quaker Oats' Aunt Jemima expressed concerns about the company's decision to scrap the controversial branding, saying it could erase their family histories.

Relatives of the late Lillian Richard and Anna Short Harrington, two women who were hired by Quaker Oats to portray the character in the 1920s and 1930s, spoke out this week after PepsiCo's Quaker Oats said the brand's "origins are based on a racial stereotype."

"This is an injustice for me and my family. This is part of my history, sir," Larnell Evans Sr., a great-grandson of Harrington, told Patch.com. "The racism they talk about, using images from slavery, that comes from the other side — white people. This company profits off images of our slavery. And their answer is to erase my great-grandmother's history. A black female. … It hurts."

"This woman served all those people, and it was after slavery," he said. "She worked as Aunt Jemima. That was her job. … How do you think I feel as a black man sitting here telling you about my family history they're trying to erase?"

That's what the family should be pissed about: Their ancestor being associated with such a lousy product.

Back during the last uproar (90's maybe?) they changed Aunt Jemima's hair - removing the scarf and giving her a contemporary hairstyle because the scarf was racist. Something about how the slave owners' made the women cover their hair because it was curly and ugly.

Except the old black women were all saying "No, that was just the fashion back then! No one was forced to wear a scarf".

When I was a student at U of IL the agitators wanted to ban Chief Illiniwek. Unlike other depictions of native Americans in sports, Chief Illiniwek wore authentic clothing and headdress and did an authentic dance - trained by real members of the Sioux nation (who ironically had conquered and killed the actual Illini, but I digress). There was never a caricature or any derogatory references, imagery or words.

But the black, and some Latin students, along with the primordial Woke whites had to protest. Never mind that the actual Native Americans who trained each new Chief were fine with it and proud their traditions were being upheld respectfully. Back then I remember thinking - if Native Americans ask for the Chief to be retired, so be it, their culture and people got the short end of everything in history. But if you are not Native American then you have no say in the matter and it's not up to you.
