Racist Foods

So the left is now erasing positive examples in the black community because of "racism."  Their target is Aunt Jemima.  But who is Aunt Jemima?

Nancy Green was Aunt Jemima.  She was a storyteller, cook, activist, and the first of several black models hired to promote a corporate trademark.  Green was born into slavery March 4, 1834.  In 1893 Green was introduced as Aunt Jemima at a Chicago Expo, where it was her job to operate a pancake-cooking display. Her amicable personality and talent as a cook for the Walker family, whose children grew up to become Chicago Circuit Judge Charles M. Walker and Dr. Samuel Walker helped establish a successful showing of the product, for which she received a medal and certificate from the Expo officials.  After the Expo, Green was offered a lifetime contract to adopt the Aunt Jemima moniker and promote the pancake mix. This marked the beginning of a major promotional push by the company that included thousands of personal appearances and Aunt Jemima merchandising. Nancy Green maintained her job with Davis Milling (which was renamed Aunt Jemima Mills Company in 1914) until her death in 1923; she was still working as Aunt Jemima at the time.  Green was one of the organizers of the Olivet Baptist Church.  Her career allowed Green the financial freedom to become an activist and engage in antipoverty programs.  She was one of the first African-American missionary workers. She used her stature as a spokesperson to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for individuals in Chicago.  She is a hero and should be honored.  People need to know history, not try to erase it.  It is very sad that Quarker Oaks has decided to dishonor this woman, because there are people who know nothing about history.

And it doesn't stop there.  Uncle Ben is also being attacked by the radical left.  But who was Uncle Ben?

According to the Uncle Ben's website, the name was first used in 1946 in reference to a black farmer known as Uncle Ben who excelled in rice-growing. The man depicted in the logo is a "a beloved Chicago chef and waiter named Frank Brown." 

Again another accomplished black figure in history is being erased.

Finally Mrs. Butterworth is racist according to the left.  An iconic talking syrupy bottle that has delighted children for decades is now being cancelled.  

It is sad that good food is now racist.
