The problem is that you and others see racism where none exist.<br /><br />To the previous commenter, what's wrong with portraying a black woman on a product to make people rich? Must it only be a white? And yes, slaves was horrific, but Aunt Jemima didn't do that. There was nothing wrong with that logo.<br /><br />It's frustrating that you can't understand that. It just seems like you should read what me and others have said and a light turns on in your brain that makes you say, "oooops, oh yeah, that's true - there actually is nothing wrong with Aunt Jemima or Uncle Ben. I guess we got too caught up in our desire to be victims and throw our weight around to force the agenda that we actually missed seeing the obvious. Yikes."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11279250.post-21770005002655282042020-06-18T10:21:04.803-05:002020-06-18T10:21:04.803-05:00> We are Made in America

Nancy Green was a actor hired to promote a product named Aunt Jemima her picture is doctored up with a nice image behind that image are slaves in pain, death and brutal horrid abuse. We hate change but time we need to move on now. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11279250.post-27762830273954913142017-06-23T13:23:32.092-05:002017-06-23T13:23:32.092-05:00I guess I just don't understand.

We are Made in America. We have nothing to be ashamed of. Slavery and everything that has happened since, is our history in this country. Let's learn something from it. Let's teach something from it. Make the connections, don't just try to forget about our history. Aunt Jemima is our great-grandmother. Just like Lucy. Why are we ashamed of her? She was beautiful. Let's not forget how beautiful she still is. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
