LOL! Yeah I get all that @aligncare ... How it intersects supposed racism in an image of a black woman is what makes no sense... I won't ever get it I suppose, after all, I am a white racist ignorant redneck, right?

I think I'll go buy another rebel flag sticker for my truck and quit worrying about it... Maybe a blue-line flag for the other side... And maybe top that off with some of those chrome mudflap gals just to piss off the feminists... But not bullnuts for the trailer hitch... There's a line somewhere...

If I did my car that way in this Brooklyn neighborhood I’m pretty sure it’d be up in flames by morning. You’re blessed to be where you are.

Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities:

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

Aunt Jemima I grew up with bears a striking resemblance to the lady who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in the recently censored and banned Gone with the Wind.

It's all about erasing and eliminating anything and everything that has to do with American, as founded, tradition.   Where's the pushback?   Are we going to just sit back and allow these anti-American cretins to erase us from US history?

She (Aunt Jemima) was a real person and a former slave.  No stereo typing involved.

Can you link me to it, wiki says it was stereotyping. Someone suggested Rush said it was a real person too.

... Which is why (no offense meant) you will never find my redneck ass in Brooklyn. You very will likely never find me out of these Rockies anymore... But with all certainty, not east of Michigan and North of the Mason Dixon line...  :shrug: :whistle:

You know, I had it like you for many years in Northern California; log home on a mountaintop, 180 degree views of Mt. Shasta to the left, Mt. Lassen on the right, stream fishing before work, fishing the Sacramento River during lunch break. But, life changes things whether you’re ready for it or not.

That's kinda what I recall... A gentleman's ranch... horses for your wife... something like that, right? Might be mixing that up with someone else.

Whether or not, sorry for you. Can't be very good living there once you've ever lived with clear water in piney woods under a wide sky... I don't know how you do it. And I hope you can get back to it...

I am fixin to get back to fishin this year... Haven't gone yet. Been rigging up for car camping and overland... Not my usual style. But it's coming... About two weeks out from hitting Chain of Lakes and some 5 lb rainbows. And another planned for way up Fisher River (cutthroat) right after that...

While I am there, I promise I will sit a spell with an alcohol stove and a tin camp cup full of coffee and send a toast your way.

Hattie McDaniel? I believe that was her name.

Yes.  Mammy.  She was probably the only slave on the plantation who had permission to spank Scarlett when she was a pup.

Let's suppose, for the sake of argument that Quaker was replace this woman:


With this one:


... and renamed the product to "Sister Ilhan's Pancakes".

Do you think that this would satisfy "the complainers"....?

My turn to correct:  "Sister-Wife Ilhan's Pancakes".

That's right.. And there's probably a Southern thing in that too - And Lord knows they want black folks to forget their Southern roots.

That same image could just as easy stand for hard work and makin do, and Church on Sunday, and country neighborliness, and all the rest of it that is in that heritage, white or black. That's exactly why they have made the Rebel Flag into a symbol of racism too, I think.

I sure never tied any racism to Aunt Jamima... Never took it that way. I always liked her  happy77
"Aunt" and "Uncle" were terms of respect and endearment used toward black people by those children who were highly unlikely to be related to them, at least that's the way it was where and when I grew up. Hence: "Aunt" Jemima and "Uncle" Ben, both well loved and respected.
