Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who bought Aunt Jemima syrup today?

Apparently they have already reached collector status around here. ZERO Aunt Jemima on the shelf at our local IGA last night. No Mix. No Syrup. The original mix has been my go to for the past 40 years...

I ceased using Aunt Jemima before Log Cabin stopped using cabin shaped cans. I use 100% maple syrup.

Post of the week Dillonbuck!

Thanks, I needed a good laugh.

Of course.

Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben are no more offensive as racial stereotypes then calling Arthur Ashe a good tennis player.

I’m tired of all that crap. They need to get over it!

In fact, I find it rather insulting to imply that large smiling black women that have spent the majority of their life in a kitchen are not the best cooks in the world. They're absolutely trained to perfection in their skill of preparing excellent food.

The next thing you know some liberal will be screaming that Jesse Owens needs to turn in his gold medals because he was the only black guy standing a podium of white people in the Olympics... therefore he is obviously an Uncle Tom.

People have lost their absolute damn minds.

Out of pure coincidence I put this up on my Facebook page yesterday while I was in Richmond. True story.

"Had to come to Richmond to deal with probate regarding my dad. Spent the night in the family home and remembered a story.

I might have been about 13 and for some particular reason I wanted to become a hunter. My father was not a hunter, but being a good dad he tried to help his son. He's sold life insurance back in the day... really believed in it... used to say " giving your family security if anything ever happens to you... is the greatest thing a man can do for the people he loves."

Anyway, he took me out to Gum Springs, VA and introduced me to one of his life insurance clients, Mr. Ashe... who was going to help me learn to hunt.

Mr. Ashe was a fascinating man, and told me wonderful hunting and fishing and camping stories. Really neat stuff for a boy. He was a simple blue collar man, living in a very simple house right next to I-64, but he was full of spirit... and he liked me. I spent quite a bit of time there... he had lots of woods and lots of game.

The one thing odd about his house however versus my parent's house... was that his house had shelves on the walls... floor to ceiling in almost every room... I had never seen that.

Sometimes he would call me over from myvlunch and smile and point at those shelves... overstuffed with thousands of tennis trophies.

I had no idea about any of it at the time... I just knew that I liked Mr Ashe Sr. and that he liked me."

What about that little naked white girl on Coppertone bottles

Epstein bought and was hoarding all of those before he did not hang himself.

I own a copy of the book "Little Black Sambo". I've had it for nearly 60 years. Guess that makes my guilty of some heinous hate crime.

I noticed that one of the tennis playing Williams brothers is on the Wheaties box. Why is that ok?

Richardson told Sheinelle Jones on TODAY Wednesday. "Aunt Jemima is that kind of stereotype that is premised on this idea of Black inferiority and otherness.

That's like saying Dizzy Gillespie is a racial stereotype to a polka musician because Dizzy has big cheeks and large lips...

It is my further considered opinion that the Cracker Jack snack company should stop issuing PHDs to these morons.

New replacements are already on the shelf.

Uncle Ben and Mrs. Butterworth are headed down the road also.

Aunt Jemima's Buttermilk Complete is the best pancake mix available, IMHO. I guess the box in my pantry will be a collector's item some day. We only use pure maple syrup on our pancakes.

Regarding JeffyD's comment above, I remember "Little Black Sambo". I had one of those children's books when I was a child in the early 1950s. The tiger chased Sambo around the coconut tree until he melted (the tiger, that is) and turned to butter, as I recall.

Soul food never happened.

Corn bread is racist.

I am offended that wonderbread is called white bread when it is clearly tan on the outside!

Don't get me started about beans. You don't know the half of it!

I like Log Cabin.

I used Aunt Jemima original for years, it's what dad always used.

I switched to Krusteaz mix about 10 years ago, so much better.

Back in college I poked a cute black chick a couple times...she could really use both sets of lips...Honest to Pete her name was Jemima...what does rhat make me????
