Yes folks..... Aunt Jemima is NO MORE! and Ill bet you Uncle Ben's is shaking in his boots. Is this really what we have become?? and what's next. This is just getting beyond stupidity! and all these people demolishing and defacing statues and monuments...we should give them a quiz even with multiple choice answers about these people from our "American History" and I will bet more than half of them have no idea of who or what these people or monuments actually did or stand for. It just boggles my mind what people claim is offensive to them, I mean COME ON!!!

wait, what?! your a grandfather?
Haha. No! Grace is only 10. I meant that in 30 years or more, those items could be very hard to come by and thus worth some money.
I always thought that's something to be PROUD of, having your face on syrup or any other product for that matter??
People are offended by way too much. Imagine being that person who climbs out of bed everyday looking for something to be offended by - what a horrible life that must be.

They're going after Snap, Crackle, and Pop on Rice Krispy's. Seriously! Kelloggs is under fire for having all white ELVES on the box.
Then Uncle Ben's Rice is next according to MARS foods; According to the Uncle Ben’s website, "the name was first used in 1946 in reference to a black farmer known as Uncle Ben who excelled in rice-growing. The man depicted in the logo is a “a beloved Chicago chef and waiter named Frank Brown.”
And going for the Trifecta today.... The CDC now says we should have our dogs Social Distancing with other dogs. (good luck with that) DOG walkers should make sure their pets observe social distancing so they don't catch coronavirus, a US health agency has warned.
The Food and Drug Administration issued new guidance saying pooches should stay at least 6ft apart from other animals and their owners outdoors.
Dog walkers should observe social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic, experts say dogs can catch Covid-19 from humans, although it is not clear if they can then infect other pets and people.

Too bad Bruce Jenners face made it the Wheaties Box back in the day, look at HER now!!!! LOL! Seriously though, it is an outright shame that the notoriety of these people on outstanding products which have become staples of our society are so easily erased or changed to accommodate the vanity of idiots. We should not be so easily dissuaded. -Mezz
I am gonna say something here. I am so very very very glad that the wife and I decided (on our second date) that we were not having kids. No babies is how my wife puts it. This country is on a terrible path. Thank the Lord I live where I live. This cancel culture and stuff offending everyone is disgusting. I am glad that I haven't brought in any humans that will have to be subjected to this crap. Terrible.
hypocrites is what people are! they go after food labels, but some of the lyrics in rap music is ok? We were kayaking Saturday and came up on some young girls tubing with rap music playing. I was in awe that these kids would be playing it that loud with the lyrics in the songs!

And the NFL hasn't even started yet. This should be interesting. Redskins and Chiefs are out. They will probably want the Browns renamed just for good measure. While we are at it, we should rename the Steelers because it could imply someone who steals. And the Packers could be twisted into something offensive so we need that name to go. Short people might have an inferiority complex so get rid of the Giants and Titans. I forgot about PETA. Rename the Bears, Eagles, Bills, Dolphins, Jaguars, Rams, Colts, Lions, Broncos, Falcons, Panther, Bengals, Ravens, Seahawks and Cardinals. Get rid of the Jets because all the green house gases they emit.
Vikings, Raiders and Buccaneers have to go because they just raped and pillaged villages. We can't have that. It is not PC to be a Cowboy, so they're gone. The Texans, can't single anyone out, bye bye. The Saints? Heavens no, we cannot support religion. The Chargers, only if it is by renewable energy. Maybe they get the name the Solars? When you think of the 49ers, they are just greedy, old, white men. And finally, the Patriots have to go because after all it was that bunch that gave us our freedom from the tyranny in England and made this very bad country. Did I miss anyone?

As the Queen of Hearts in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures
in Wonderland would say (dripping with sarcasm):
"Off with their heads!" (Their statues, that is.)
Tell them that they should not rename it...click email at bottom...grow a pair

Oh I agree with you Matt, that’s why I think it’s funny. People/businesses are biting their noses off and they don’t even know it yet. Mob Rules mentality is taking over. Cops are getting a very, VERY bad rap right now. Hollywood is donating millions to funds for paying bail for the ‘protestors’ but when it shows up in their town they want protection?? Hypocrites - been done with them for years already. NFL is the latest in a line of cavers. Done. Tracker seems to think we can call and get our voice in the minds of corporations - that won’t make one dime of difference. Social Justice Warriors are taking over people’s emotions. Nobody wants to hear Facts anymore.
It’s true the Washington Redskins were under pressure to change their name years ago. I had to laugh when the team owner responded said we have always been the Redskins and will stay the Redskins with our traditional logo. Now with the new normal who knows how far all this renaming will go. It’s just nuts!!

You better be careful. When they come for your guns they might find your stash of Aunt Jemima and label you a hate criminal. Then you will go to jail and not be able to do your forecasts.
