Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben and Barrack Obama

Since 1889 Aunt Jemima has been the face depicted on pancake boxes. 131 years is along run. 24 years after the Civil War. This move may have been considered progressive in the day. 100 Years after the American Revolution and the United States Constitution. Complaints of racial stigmas forced the manufacturer to drop the name and face today. I never thought pancakes could be controversial. I do know this much for sure. If white people were depicted as Aunt Jemima or Uncle Ben then there would be outrage from  the same minority of equal opportunity and why are Blacks not hired for these positions. Martha Stewart would make billions today doing exactly the same business model. I am certain that regardless of the faces used on Pancake Boxes the complaining will never stop and logic is never a consideration. Just for the record, I never gave 2 shits about the Confederate Flag or Monuments to Confederate Soldiers. I think most people don't care. Racial Equality lies in the minds of those who are taught from  birth this stigma. Perhaps if Black Ancestors applied themselves in either of these wars, freedom may have come sooner and without permission from others. An obvious hard fact for the African American community to acknowledge.. 8 Years of a Black President never gets it's recognition and those who voted for him are called Racists. Just as those 700,000 brave white soldiers who died in battle to free the slaves are completely ignored by  Black history books. Black History chooses to focus on bridges and marches that occurred in the deep South some 200 years later. The loss of life was minimal in comparison to the Civil War where tragic prices were registered and ungrateful to whining people today...... Happy Trails Tom
