Just a reminder of what the woke culture is really about: Erasing history and creating their version of said history.
A great woman erased from history by the woke mob.
The branding of the syrup was a tribute to this woman’s gifts and talents.
Now future generations will not even know this beautiful woman existed. What a shame. 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 all Americans. She maintained her job until her death in 1923, at age 89.
This was a remarkable woman, and sadly she has been ERASED by politics. I wanted you to know and remind you in this cancel culture time period.
Great summary! It's a complete shame they couldn't have dropped the "Aunt Jemima" bit and just named their product after Nancy Greene. Hell, even had a QR code on the back of the box people could scan and watch a video about her story.
Also to add, she was a very savvy businesswoman. She was smart enough to negotiate royalties to be paid to her estate once she passed. The whole name change was less about being woke and more about not having to pay those royalties.
Theyve actually done studies on this. People who have spent large amount of their life without much food who later find themselves wealthy or with abundant food often balloon up because the body figures it needs to store energy because its just to starving so it stores fat like crazy. This is the same reason why anorexic people who overcome up usually end up fat.
Not to mention wheat has to be ground to a powder to be digested in our single chambered stomach and even then the gliadin protein is still inflammatory and destroys stomach linings and arteries.

Wow! Thanks for the detail; I knew she was a real woman (although not her real name) but knew nothing about her life.

On the other hand, unless I'm mistaken, Betty Crocker was only as real as Max Headroom.
I remember Max lol

Should be worthy of black history month, you would think right 👍
Exactly. Because according to the racist ideology of wokeism, black people can't be successful on their own.
If you think it’s about the syrup, you’re missing the point.
She didn't corn it, that came later with the corporate owners.
Like taking vanilla out of Vanilla Wafers....have to hide the inflation.
Capitalism at it's finest , create something to fill a demand and then sell it to others so you can explore your own other interests.

Table syrup is not maple syrup.
Well, not now.
So totally not the point... Duh
Obesity isn't new at all; it's just a LOT more prevalent now than in previous eras.
See GodzillaTrump's comment below (or, uh, above), and then also this: When that pic was taken, she hadn't BEEN a slave for decades.

Not passable at all sir.
I was taught as a child "never trust a skinny cook". Words to live by. Also carbs.
Do not disrespect Nancy Green.
Ate too many pancakes.
It was circus material then but now it's everywhere !

What are you talking about? It's highly processed industrial poison.
