That's an insult to everything we pride ourselves in as Canadians. The best maple syrup comes in a can or jug that looks kinda sketchy but you know it's good.
I took it back!!
And I have had the good shit, I just..it's just..we don't exactly baptize our children in maple syrup down here like the Canadians, you can't blame us for maybe not being as discerning

They're firing Aunt Jemima, the syrup remains being sold under another name.
If they have a sense of humor the new brand will be an astonished Uncle Ben with the caption "I Can't Believe It Ain't Aunt Jemima's"
They'll probably get nuked from orbit

That's blasphemy! Us canadians as a rite of passage have to sacrifice a maple tree and enrich the soil with its sap and drink the surgary blood of the forest to ensure the monreal canadians make it to the playoffs.

Is it racist that I assumed Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben were married when I was a kid?

Notice "Aunt Jemima" making a cameo here.
Aunt Jemima was even considered racist in the 1960s.

This is yet another silly measure that doesn't actually solve or even fight against any real racism at all whatsoever. It doesn't prevent police brutality, it doesn't lower racism, it doesn't prevent or lower discrimination of any kind, it doesn't fight white supremacy or white supremacist ideology, it accomplishes absolutely nothing and doesn't affect racism at all.
I'm annoyed at measures like these that do nothing because people take these measures and then feel like racism has now been solved when it hasn't even been affected at all in the slightest. These type of things function as a straw man for racism. You can't or don't want to fight real racism, so instead you set up this pointless "straw man" that's easy to defeat, you defeat it, and then you claim victory over real racism when you haven't affected real racism at all.
Aunt jemima is crap anyway and should be discontinued. Uncle ben is shaking in his boots right now.

I was just informed that major software companies are going to stop using the words slave/master and blacklist/whitelist in code.
Where does the madness end???
Are hydraulic systems no longer to have slave and master cylinders?
When we read something will it no longer be in black and white?
Fuck this is getting beyond moronic.

SJW have been trying to push this for a while, a year or two ago there was a post on github for some project and they were trying to get rid of blacklis/whitelist, my name on github is like codeingducks or something so I chimed in change it to quacklist/honklist and I got a couple upvotes

SARAtonin said: Some of you people questioning this seriously need to pick up a book. Not only is it inarguably racist but it is sexist as well.
Let me explain why.
As previously touched upon its one of the biggest examples of the mammy archetype of a matronly black housekeeper widely popularized by the character Aunt Chloe in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s widely successful “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” While it can not be disputed the attention to the abolitionist movement the book provided and fire to the movement it cultivated the book and Stowe herself were far from flawless, not only did the book promote samboism, but it refined the mammy archetype in the cultural mind if a rapidly industrializing America. It brought forth and normalized the thinking that the role of the black woman was household servitude. This saw its roots during slavery where black woman were not only subjected to the same harsh punishment as their male counterparts but with the addition of rape and other forms of sexual humiliation, but they were also expected to keep up with the men in the fields and tend to house and home during any free time they had at the end of the day, many women where forced to take their children into the fields with them. This stereotype was brought to a head after emancipation during the reconstructionist era when the throngs of free slaves were given little other economic options outside of sharecropping and domestic servitude. It’s here the mammy stereotype thrived as practically every house across the country, north and south, relied upon the long painstaking hours of black woman house keeper, a slave in all but name. The stereotype of the promiscuous black woman who “wanted it” comes from this period of the mammy archetype as it was expected that these “free” black housekeepers were to serve every sexual desire of not only the master of the household but his sons as well.
So ya, fuck aunt Jemima.
I understand, but it's not like there's anything to indicate anything. It's just a picture of a black lady. If I take a picture of a black man today and put it on a syrup bottle, I'd think it was pretty silly if someone 80 years from now was like, "This is a symbol of black oppression because blacks were being oppressed." It's not like Jemima is picking cotton or being chased by an angry mob. You really have to be trying to look for this shit to find it, it's like pareidolia for virtue signalling.
They changed it a few years ago, she used to have a red bandana on and looked more "mammyish". They made it "more appealing and less racist". The name says it all really. Also uncle bens? The redskins? and on and on...
