NEW YORK — America’s painful struggles over racism have finally caught up with Aunt Jemima, that ubiquitous fixture served up at breakfast tables for 131 years.
Quaker Oats announced Wednesday that it will retire the Aunt Jemima brand, saying the company recognizes the character’s origins are “based on a racial stereotype.” Indeed, the logo was inspired by 19th century minstrels celebrating the “mammy,” a black woman content to serve her white masters. A former slave, Nancy Green, became the face of the pancake product in 1890.

A box of Aunt Jemima pancake mix sits on a stovetop Wednesday in Harrison, N.Y. Quaker Oats said the 131-year-old name and image would be replaced on products and advertising by the fourth quarter of 2020. It did not say what the name would be changed to. Courtney Dittmar/Associated Press

The world knew her as "Aunt Jemima," but her given name was Nancy Green and she was a true American success story. She was born a slave in 1834 Montgomery County, KY... and became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world, as its first living trademark.
Green was 56-yrs old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago. She demonstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes... and became an immediate star. She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional. Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special security personnel were assigned to keep the crowds moving.
Nancy Green was signed to a lifetime contract, traveled on promotional tours all over the country, and was extremely well paid. Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for folks in Chicago.
She maintained her job until her death in 1923, at age 89.
Nancy Green was a remarkable woman... and has just been ERASED by politically correct bedwetters.

Not going to happen. He was a real person who started that company, not a PC issue.
As an Italian American, my only issue is that no one’s Nona would serve that swill.
