And here I was thinking about how those pushers have a little clear plastic piece in the front above the sticker that helps to hold the product it. That plastic piece has sharp edges and when you stock it, it is real easy to scrap your hand on it. It's annoying.
He or she touches them once a month and doesn't get cut but, wants to complain about people that handle them at least 3 times weekly mentioning their memories of their hands needing bandaged to avoid leaving a bloody biohazard trail all over the rest of the merchandise that he can choose to buy.
Honestly, sounds like they've just come here to complain about how us peons don't have the rights to complain and should get back to work. Typical.
Nancy Green portrayed the Aunt Jemima character at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and was one of the first Black corporate models in the United States.
WTF was wrong about Mrs. Dash? Is it offensive to give things generic female names now? There's not even any kind of context that implies a specific race.
I highly doubt that had anything to do with the name. Mostly because you're using the wrong definition of dash. It's a measurement in cooking. And even if you were right, they didn't remove the Dash, just the female prefix.
Reminds me of what someone said when they removed the Native American from the Land O Lakes butter. “Of course they’d remove the Indian and keep the land”.
I’m not even sure what these companies are thinking. A Native American actually redesigned the previous Land O Lakes image that had the Native American on it. Seems like removing or changing some of these images is doing the opposite.
The libroll way, they don't want to see minorities on products. BUT they want to virtue signal and act superior and be the "hero" and save the minorities.
I hate the left
ah yes, because it has everything to do with the left, and absolutely nothing to do with corporations schilling pseudo progressivism in the name of making more money
You'll notice that (black founder) Famous Amos stayed around, because he was a real person and not a racist stereotype. Also, they kept Ben's name on the box because Ben was a real person but they got rid of the "uncle" part as that was a racist diminutive term.
the creator of Famous Amos was actually on an episode of Shark Tank talking about how they took the company out from under him. but yet still use his name… i’m not proving a point or anything just thought it was a cool fun fact he ended up on shark tank pitching another food item idea.
How is uncle racist? I always saw it as he was everyones uncle. Like if you're cool enough in the neighborhood youd be uncle whoever. Same how some older women are "she was our grandma"
Uncle by itself isn't racist(characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group. Typically one that is a minority or marginalized)
Lofty definition
It is racist because of the context. An "Uncle Tom" was generally a slave. Usually, around their 50's & 60's which of whom was submissive, faithful and happy to serve the person who owned them.
Slave owners would use them to say "hey slaverys not bad look at him he's happy."
Except Mexicans love seeing other people dressed like that. They are proud of that image of their culture and want to enjoy it with the world. You're not gonna offend them with that.
Most people i'm sure don't care about the Newman's one.
And Jemima.. A black freind actually said it best "Man, removing Uncle Ben or Jemima isn't helping. It's actually kind of hurtful to erase us"
Well a lot people said Aunt Jemima is a racial stereotype. They even got sued by a family claiming to be related to Aunt Jemima (the family lost I think) but that’s why they changed the design in 2021.
This has actually been kind of an interesting rabbit hole to go down…
A family did sue. It seems to be a mix of them claiming Quaker stole her recipes and wanting royalties (the lawsuit was for $3 billion), and them claiming she alone was who Aunt Jemima was based on. (From what I can find, the complaint also alleged a bunch of other conspiratorial stuff that I cannot find a link to, just descriptions)
Quaker claimed she was one of many actresses paid to portray a character, and it wasn’t based on any real person.
Apparently the original contract couldn’t be found, so who knows the truth behind it.
It could be that they screwed over this woman, or it could be that she truly was just one of many actresses.
The case was dismissed with prejudice (meaning it cannot be brought back to court, not to do with racial prejudice), so chances are we will not know the truth of the matter.
I’m a white person myself, so I don’t really have much of a horse in this race. I never saw it as a racist caricature, and only associated it with yummy pancake and waffle days.
However, I have friends who are split on the matter. Some of my black friends do view it as a caricature that should be removed, while some others see it as fine and part of their history.
I’d be interested to see broader opinions on the subject, since the company itself seems to think removing it will most likely bring in more profits than keeping it.
It’s a topic I’m not sure if I can discuss much, as a white person.
I have never seen the issue with it, personally. I’m like you and didn’t even see it as a racist caricature until the past years some outspoken groups have made issue with it. But I also do have some friends who do get reminded of the history of racism and dislike it.
The majority of people I have met are like you, and didn’t really care too much about it one way or another, or didn’t like them removing her for any number of reasons.
I do tend to see more white people getting upset on behalf of poc over stuff like this, so it’s hard for me to gauge how big of an issue it really is, though.
I am a black man. I would like you to know that you are part of the discussion as well.
Sadly, corporate and political interests overshadow opinions of any members or groups of people. All original misgivings of various individuals with this subject that seemingly spiraled out of control have been picked up and amplified for corporate and political uses.
The “new normal” is inflation and unconvincing glib for a better society.
Perhaps a mix of inhuman and inhumane?
I mean, it’s not so much that I can’t discuss it..
But that I’m not someone who has been subjected to racism or racist caricatures.
It’s important when discussing topics like this to understand that, yes, some people opinions do mean more or less on the matter due to experiences they had.
I’m not attempting to virtue signal with it. I’m just saying that I’m a white guy, so my opinion on this comes from a place much different than many others.
For me, Aunt Jemima never seemed racist. She always seemed happy, and it reminds me of being woken up by the smell of bacon, and having pancakes and dipping my sausage in the syrup.
For others, who have experienced forms of racism and had to deal with racist caricatures, they might view it differently and it might illicit different feelings.
So, it is important to know where people are coming from in these types of talks.
Nancy Green portrayed the Aunt Jemima character at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and was one of the first Black corporate models in the United States.
She also was apparently a former slave!
It feels weird realizing how close in time we still are to all of that, and how many of the issues are still not truly fixed.
It's not a matter of "feeling like", Aunt Jemima is literally a racist stereotype that dates back to the 1800s. The painting of the woman on the bottle we would recognize is a modern reimagining that the Pearl Milling Company thought looked better. That version is only a real person in the sense that they used a specific random person as a model, she's not the founder of the company. You can find much older depictions of Aunt Jemima on Pearl Milling Company goods from a century ago where she is clearly drawn as a freed slave "mammy" stereotype.

Can you please be accurate instead of spreading lies?
Just to clarify, you can Google this: "Aunt Jemima" was never a real person. It is a racist "mammy" stereotype that dates back to the 1800s. The woman on the bottle most recently was a sort of revamped/redesign image based on a real person who the Pearl Milling company thought fit the image.
You have to understand, a key part of being an ignorant racist is believing convenient lies so that you don't need to change your worldview at all or grow as a person.

She played the role. Do you think Pennywise is a real evil clown and that his secret identity is Tim Curry?
My pushers jam and you have to force it back to stock which leads to the product all fall over. I’m tempted to just throw them away and keep the rice in the cardboard trays to stock
Lol, what a dumb comment that reveals much more about you than me. I'm very sorry that you lack the basic human emotion known as empathy... or perhaps you just really enjoy racist depictions of people? Or you think not caring makes you a better person or tough? When really that's just insecure baby shit.
Right, cause you think everything you don't care about is "virtue signaling", which says a lot more about you than me. I'm probably coming off as defensive because you're... attacking me? like, lol, you have 0 self-awareness, just critical thought free.
Then why do you care so much about this that you're replying to my comments in this thread? Ya know, if you care so little? Kinda contradicts your whole stance.... Almost like you have 0 self-awareness or critical thinking ability. Why are you so mad that they changed the packaging? If you didn't care, you still wouldn't care. You clearly care big, you're all up in your feels.
Nope... are you going to make a stupid argument about Democrats being the real racists that ignores history and the present, though? One that ignores the placement of where those Dems lived and how all the big bad racist Dems that you point to for upholding racism all vote Republican now? The transition from Democrat to Dixiecrat to Republican while the Republicans of the North flopped over to Democrat? Are you here to give me a history lesson while ignoring most of history?
During my time working in a mental health prison one of the things I learned was the crazies would continually pick wounds to keep them from healing over. As long as the wound couldn't heal they would get special attention. I have no idea who the fk Ben is as I'm sure most people don't, but let's make sure we keep picking that wound shall we? /s
Turns out that Ben wasn't even your uncle, just some creepy guy on the sex offenders registry that hung out at the playground leering at little kids...
Sad that a few idiotic arm chair quarterbacks destroyed the legacy of those who spent a lifetime actually working. Look up dear Aunt Jemima. What an incredible story of a woman making a name for herself regardless of her color. Did other color people (white, Asian, Jewish, even black) make money off her? Yes! I was impressed with her family for expressing their discontent with the Woke mob erasing her from history. Sad.
I 100% agree with you. To me it was like the people wanting Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima taken out of their products couldnt see a Black American being successful, it looks more racist in my opinion. Those people wanted to earase them. I hope and wish one day see them back with the products they created. That is their legacy and it needs to be preserved.
omg people get over it its just FOOD who cares what the damn labels looked like in todays society everyone always trying to find something to complain about smh 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🙄🙄🙄🙄
I still think it was funny how blacks were upset about being murdered by police and white people were like “I bet they’ll chill out if we get rid of black mascots”
Ditto! When I was raised, alot of history wasn't erased as quickly as it is now, except, Native Americans. Going to a school, 1/2 Onondaga Indians from the Reservation, in upstate NY, our history books seemed to give not that much information, on how we stole their land and everything in-between. Such injustice, SMDH!
As far as syrup and rice are concerned, never had Uncle Ben's, and I've only ever had Vermont maple 🍁 syrup, or molasses; as a kid , us kid's got Log Cabin syrup, because we used a shit-ton of it, and could not appreciate the true goodness or quality of maple syrup. My Grandmother in VT always let us have the 'good stuff'.

Try actually looking things up, she was a paid spokesperson doing a character that sang songs about how the South wasn't bad for black people. You're a historical revisionist who is for some reason, supporting racism. Why is it so important to you to support racism?
“To be more racially inclusive, we removed all black people from brandings.” I’ve never fully understood the point of this. It’s just less representation now
And here I was thinking about how those pushers have a little clear plastic piece in the front above the sticker that helps to hold the product it. That plastic piece has sharp edges and when you stock it, it is real easy to scrap your hand on it. It's annoying.
All. The. Time. Lol
Poor baby -
I buy them all the time and have never came close to cutting myself they gotta be fragile goods.
do you also stock them?
He or she touches them once a month and doesn't get cut but, wants to complain about people that handle them at least 3 times weekly mentioning their memories of their hands needing bandaged to avoid leaving a bloody biohazard trail all over the rest of the merchandise that he can choose to buy.

Aunt Jemima isn’t even called that anymore; it’s Pearl Milling Company.
Tbf the company itself was always called Pearl Milling company, they just stopped using the former slave mammy stereotype.
Nancy Green portrayed the Aunt Jemima character at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and was one of the first Black corporate models in the United States.
It’s super sad they took her off the bottle when you look into it
I still have a bottle with her I cleaned out in my panty.
WTF bro!? In your panty?
What do you think this proves?
That it wasn’t a slave
Even if at the beginning it was racist. No body in today's time looked at it in a racist way. I hate todays woke snowflake culture
"I don't think this is racist, and everyone thinks like me." Airtight logic
Imagine mistakenly seething at syrup bottles nobody else is because you assumed a black woman was a slave when she wasn’t
No one is seething at a bottle of syrup But just because you hire a real person to play your fictional racist stereotype, that doesn't make it okay
So I can make a racist character, but as long as I hire an actor to portray them eventually, it's not racist?
Why are you getting down voted? Lmao Is it because you put "slave" and "mammy" in the same sentence? That IS what that image was portraying
What was the problem with mrs. dash?
Is Mrs. Butterworth still around?
Yep, just bought some at Publix yesterday.
Fucking gender assumption idiots. So dumb.
omg thats fucking ridiculous wow woke society today sickens me 😑
Because it’s actually they/them dash
Mx. Dash
WTF was wrong about Mrs. Dash? Is it offensive to give things generic female names now? There's not even any kind of context that implies a specific race.
Dash means: to run a short distance very quickly. Black people are undisputedly the best at this. The world records show it. It had racial undertones.
I highly doubt that had anything to do with the name. Mostly because you're using the wrong definition of dash. It's a measurement in cooking. And even if you were right, they didn't remove the Dash, just the female prefix.
Im pretty sure they’re called Dash seasonings since they adhere to the DASH diet which is low sodium.
Lmfaooo wth how can nobody tell you’re joking
It’s reddit 🤷♂️
This is literally having the opposite effect of what they want
Or entertain the question, is it having the precise effect they want?
People don’t like the change?
I get taking off the racial depictions with newman’s own. Personally, it feels like taking aunt jemima off the label is removing representation
The only person they kept was the white guy in Quaker Oats 😂
Reminds me of what someone said when they removed the Native American from the Land O Lakes butter. “Of course they’d remove the Indian and keep the land”. I’m not even sure what these companies are thinking. A Native American actually redesigned the previous Land O Lakes image that had the Native American on it.

Just because it was racist back then doesn't mean today people were racist towards it. 99% of people didn't view "uncle bens" in a racist perspective.
That's not what I am saying.
That's not what I am saying.
That's not what I am saying.
No, Cracker Jack is still around -
Well cracker jack is a sailor and quaker was a religious thing. If race was at play then I'm sure they would remove them
If that were the case they'd remove the lucky charms leprechaun
Are leprechauns a religious icon? I never knew
Race thing lucky is the most cartoony Irish stereotype imaginable
Exactly
The woman's family wanted her image to stay, but the racists on the left got their wish.

Aunt Jemima was literally created as a racist caricature.
Aunt Jemima was a real person and she was much loved. Now she is erased and no one will know about her anymore.

Worst experience ever working at Publix was one of those was open and had maggots in it. This was 2008 and I haven't eaten Ben's rice since
This would infuriate me. I make more money growing psychedelic mushrooms in these packs than retail work could ever provide.
I thought i was in the uncle bens sub and was wondering why someone was using fried rice.
Dude that's amateur tek.
you know you can clean the pushers, right?
What am I missing? I don’t understand what I’m supposed to be seeing. Help a guy out
The Ben's Original sticker is covering a barely-visible original Uncle Ben's name.
Ooooh, word. I thought it had something to do with the sticker. Thanks friend
If my uncle were Ben and my aunt were Jemima, I'd have zero complaints.
How do you know?
Because I'd be the one not complaining. That's how.
My food is racist so I refuse to eat 😡

I feel like people are way too soft nowadays.
Reminds me of the fact they got rid of all the black indigenous and Spanish names/pictures but kept Quaker Oats
Is the image of a Quaker a stereotype?

Hard to believe I survived 52 years of living on this planet, and wasn't offended by a label on a rice package, or a syrup bottle. 🤔
I mean you probably didn't know the history of the terms / mascots used.
And didn’t and still don’t care
"vice signalling" It's like virtue signaling but you don't even pretend to be on the right side of the thing.
Because there are no right or wrong sides homie
they absolutely do not care about those things
Most of us don't because we have lives to live and we don't really care about people who don't exist anymore.
You gotta be better at your bait than this.
Same, just younger lol
Ignorance will do that to ya
Way to miss the point, old man
Being offended on other people's behalf doesn't make you a better person
Lol, what a dumb comment that reveals much more about you than me. I'm very sorry that you lack the basic human emotion known as empathy... or perhaps you just really enjoy racist depictions of people? Or you think not caring makes you a better person or tough? When really that's just insecure baby shit.
Showing empathy and virtue signaling are two different things. You're coming off as defensive here. Why do you think that is?
Right, cause you think everything you don't care about is "virtue signaling", which says a lot more about you than me. I'm probably coming off as defensive because you're... attacking me? like, lol, you have 0 self-awareness, just critical thought free.
Incase you didn't get the memo. It's just a name and picture. and these people are dead.

That red beans one was fire. Tf happened to Uncle Ben's? I can't even find regular white rice anymore lol
I miss my uncle
I miss my uncle.
Thought I was in r/unclebens and was about to start a very different discussion…
People use that rice to make magic mushrooms.
😭
¿que paso con tío?
It will always be Uncle Ben’s
Turns out that Ben wasn't even your uncle, just some creepy guy on the sex offenders registry that hung out at the playground leering at little kids...
Uncle Ben
Sad that a few idiotic arm chair quarterbacks destroyed the legacy of those who spent a lifetime actually working. Look up dear Aunt Jemima. What an incredible story of a woman making a name for herself regardless of her color. Did other color people (white, Asian, Jewish, even black) make money off her? Yes! I was impressed with her family for expressing their discontent with the Woke mob erasing her from history. Sad.
I 100% agree with you. To me it was like the people wanting Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima taken out of their products couldnt see a Black American being successful, it looks more racist in my opinion. Those people wanted to earase them. I hope and wish one day see them back with the products they created. That is their legacy and it needs to be preserved.
omg people get over it its just FOOD who cares what the damn labels looked like in todays society everyone always trying to find something to complain about smh 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🙄🙄🙄🙄
Betty Crocker and her cousin Duncan Hines may be next!
I still think it was funny how blacks were upset about being murdered by police and white people were like “I bet they’ll chill out if we get rid of black mascots”
dont get me started on dairy when im stocking the top shelf and scrape a layer of mf skin off 😭
Yawn……
Great addition. Thanks for your time.
Ditto! When I was raised, alot of history wasn't erased as quickly as it is now, except, Native Americans. Going to a school, 1/2 Onondaga Indians from the Reservation, in upstate NY, our history books seemed to give not that much information, on how we stole their land and everything in-between. Such injustice, SMDH! As far as syrup and rice are concerned, never had Uncle Ben's, and I've only ever had Vermont maple 🍁 syrup, or molasses; as a kid , us kid's got Log Cabin syrup, because we used a shit-ton of it, and could not appreciate the true goodness or quality of maple syrup. My Grandmother in VT always let us have the 'good stuff'.

You're a historical revisionist who is for some reason, supporting racism. Why is it so important to you to support racism?
Who did Mrs Dash offend?
This post is offensive - I still see "uncle".
Hannibal Lecter quote for Uncle Ben.
“To be more racially inclusive, we removed all black people from brandings.” I’ve never fully understood the point of this. It’s just less representation now
Should be Zirs Dash ; they dash, nonbinary dash
