    If they had not relented to a small group of activists it would have been covered by msm IMO. Given the current environment of perpetual faux outrage over what amounts to absurdity and hyperbole.

    IMO most folks saw the aunt as a lovable character to use to sell pancake mix.

    Land O' Lakes took Elizabeth Warren off their box years ago right after she told the world she was an Indian. (feathers not dots)

    This has gone far beyond capitalism. There are groups and politicians invested in destroying people and companies, so out of fear of being labeled racist they are eliminating ANYTHING that can be remotely construed as racist. But it won’t stop there since to these people EVERYTHING IS RACIST AND OFFENSIVE!

    Voting Republican means you’re a racist. Supporting cops means you’re racist. Not supporting reparations makes you a racist. It will NOT stop until these idiots are put in their place. But then that makes you a racist too. And the reason is, the MSM. They have failed the country supporting anarchists over the police. Supporting whining snowflakes and racebaiters over logic and facts. They have them the platform. It’s disgraceful.

    You should turn off MSNBS and tune in Rush Limbaugh. You might just learn something about Nancy Green.

    I will save you from telling us Limbaugh knows nothing.
    Read and get smarter,

    Why you racist?

    You either support me, or you're racist. Those are the rules. I didn't make them.

    I feel like you're not taking my feelings into account and it's hurtful.

    Personally I could give a **** less. I buy my syrup at Costco, it's all the panty twisting by the social justice warrior snowflakes that have me laughing. Now they are on to the characters on the Rice Krispy box.

    Doesn't surprise me at all. You seem to the kind I'd expect to be racist.

    My opinion is generally based on current conditions and environment .

    I would term it prediction based upon where the msm is and how they are acting.

    So I can predict that msm will never give trump credit for positive actions even if he does them. So a bit more than a guess unless you add educated to the guess.

    Frontier Frank and Pioneer Berry are White. Perhaps a questioning gay lesbian transgender little person speaking in anything but English would be a better suggestion.

    No one has yet to explain why Aunt Jamima syrup is racist? Actually, it's very good syrup and there's a picture of a black woman on the label. Why are so many against a black woman? Don't they have the same rights as other races? If it was a white woman, no one would care. Why so racist?

    The syrup isn't, just the stereotype of Aunt Jamima.

    Oh that's all it is.

    How many white slaves raised black folks children and washed their clothes, cooked their food, etc.

    You live in an all white town, so please don't insult us with the innocent act when it comes to Aunt Jamima.

    After all these years, how is this offensive and to who.

    But this is a good response by you - you can't explain why something is racist or offensive so you blame it on the people who don't find it racist or offensive.

    So I'll ask again, how many years of your life did you look at that syrup and say yep, that's racist, and why didn't you do something about it. Be honest, you never thought it was racist or offensive until you were told it was racist and offensive, and that's typically how things work.

    Why are you on this board if you don't want to explain why it's racist? And where is this significant percentage you speak of?
