prevnextAll y'all woke idiots can't tell me you just realized Aunt Jemima is based on black minstrel shows. You've known that shit for decades, and you didn't care, so stop pretending to care now.

prevnextCan't believe people are just learning now that Aunt Jemima is a racist brand. Don't y'all remember the "fat mammy" bottle they had back in the '70s? That was so gratuitous.
I haven't bought Aunt Jemima in 20 years.
Get you some maple syrup. That's where it's at, anyhow.
