Social Aunt Jemima has been cancelled

they are wearing the same smocks and
Clothes as aunt Jemima. Not the flapper outfits that you were showing

You're talking about two different points.

One was "that's what women wore back then" so I posted what urban women wore back then because she lived in Chicago.

Then there's the point of "why would anyone dress nice in the kitchen. Which I'm currently addressing. Do you think the women in those ads are dressed like Aunt Jemima? If not, then we can accept that dressing well in an ad at the time was totally appropraite in fact, it was standard. So it was a conscious choice to pick a wardrobe for Nancy Green to look the way she did. There's a reason they made that choice for her and not the women in these ads.

Bullshit. Seems to me to have been been effectively disputed in this very thread. Instead of claiming there is no dispute that the symbol is racist, why don't you make an argument explaining how it is racist. Maybe you could explain when it is and when it isn't right use the image of black people in advertising.

If you read past that post you will see that I have reconsidered.

Fair enough.

What about the Cream of Wheat dude? That seems a lot more blatant.

Yes. I can understand why someone might get offended by this ad.

There were and are people that speak just like that... i don't see the issue... it seems to be fairly objective. Now if they used "goot" instead of "good" then maybe it'd have ill-intent... it's just Rastus being Rastus!

I'm not sure wht there is so much discussion about this. People dont like it so they changed it. You guys talking about the history are trying to hard. It's just a pancake mascott that's outdated not some important history that must be preserved . Fucking pancakes!

Yeah, I think they did the best the could with the redesign. The name is still the name, but nobody could object to...
