For those that follow sports, we have seen these changes for team mascots(Indians) and team logos for years now, so it only follows that it would be done for old dated images. Isn't that why graphic design/Art is so popular?

I think this sort of thing needs to be put up to a vote.

I may be wrong, and I'm all for equality...

But I can't help but think these "cancelations" are being pushed by white people based off of a level of guilt.
I think the black community should be the only ones voting on these things.
Now if it is legitimately offensive to them, then yes, pull it or rebrand.

How is it a racial stereotype?

Stereotype implies some vague reference without knowing the details

Like saying hood then a black person in the image

But.. aunt jemima is a black woman. I would say the same if it were called aunt gertrude and it was a white woman

I dont get how thats a stereotype. Are they saying names are stereotypes?

They're bringing up the fact that "Aunt" and "Uncle" were given as honorary titles to black men and women as they didn't "Rate" Mrs. or Mr.

Dharma initiative.

Is this such a bad idea though? A lot of the money we spend on simple everyday things is a result of marketing and packaging.

I don’t hate this idea. I want a product for the product, not bright colors and friendly characters.

[CanuckGame]

They will replace uncle Ben and aunt jemima and then people will start bitching that there are not enough black people representing brands. And that the white man is responsible!

[propreffered7]

all these changes are libs trying to make it seem like theyll listen to people right?

Hoping to garner votes to imply theyll do the same if theyre in office before the election

[darkninja67]

I was removed as a moderator. I'm not sure I can talk about it publicly, but I may end up posting more about it on Twitter.
