those ads were so racist, Trump’s probably going to appoint one to attorney general (phase out the racism over time)

“PepsiCo announced today they’re changing the name and logo for Aunt Jemima, because they recognize that Aunt Jemima’s origins are based on a racial stereotype. The new name will be ‘Mrs. Jemima’s Syrup That She Has Willingly Volunteered To Share.’” —Jimmy Kimmel

“When the news broke, Trump was bummed ’cause Aunt Jemima was the only black woman in his cabinet.” —Jimmy Fallon

“Now, if you don’t understand the big deal is, Aunt Jemima, from the beginning, was a classic slave ‘mammy’ stereotype who got her name from an old blackface minstrel character. And although the company has tried to strip away most of the racist stuff over the years, people still associate Aunt Jemima with ads like this one from 1945, where Aunt Jemima is saying, ‘Lawsee! Folks sho’ whoops with joy over Aunt Jemima pancakes.’ So, yeah, those ads were so racist, Trump’s probably going to appoint one to attorney general.” —Trevor Noah

“It’s also amazing that the brand knew that Aunt Jemima was racist, and then instead of just changing it, they chose to instead slowly phase out the racism over time.” —Trevor Noah

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
