David and Aaron were duped again. Our resident twin brothers fell for another internet conspiracy theory that was lifted from an article written as satire. David and Aaron must have rode the short Bus to school. Oh, well at least they have each other.

Aside from the truth or fairy tale nature of this, I can see why "Aunt Jemima" is a stereotype that could offend some people. It's certainly outdated.
I don't think black people really like to be portrayed, in the media or advertising, as servants...any more than they would have liked to be portrayed as slaves. And yeah, Aunt Jemima was portrayed as a jolly cook who made good syrup, so ostensibly, not offensive.
However, I do understand that when some people may be offended by such a portrayal, it's probably the civil and polite thing to do to modify that portrayal. Of course, whenever that's done, the MAGAs, etc. bleat WOKE WOKE WOKE WOKE WOKE...utterly reflexively, and without thought...like the goobers on this board.
I wonder if you stupid pigs even know what "woke" actually means. I highly doubt it.

I hear the Washington Redskins are changing their name back from Commanders or whatever stupid name they changed it to. I'm not into sportsball, but I always thought the Chief depicted on the logo looked strong and fierce. I believe many natives also liked having his depiction on the football logo.
It'll be good when things return to normal instead of clown car bat shit crazy liberal.

Depicting Native Americans as scowling, fierce, and warlike is an insult to them.
Of course, that is far beyond your ability to understand.

That's a really dumb comment as my roots are of an indigenous people. Maybe you liberals should stick to being Karens in your own HOA, Karen.

Who cares about who spawned your ancestors? But I'm sure they would have been thrilled to be depicted as warlike, bloodthirsty savages.
