Racism Extreme?
What's wrong with Aunt Jemima, and Uncle Ben's being black? I don't see how that is racist to have them on their products. It seems racist to be taking them off the products.

Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben in and of themselves do not exhibit racism, but a certain paying demographic today frantically sees color first. These images of previously accepted products apparently are an affront to that demographic now. As a Latino I grew up enjoying Aunt Jemima's pancakes made from that box and not once did I lose respect for or see my Black neighbors as anything different than us.
Like any business, in order to stay afloat they must sell a product that the paying public accepts and buys. If the product was making kitten sandwiches and selling them to a select clientele who would pay for that, they would. Look at China. They have dog and cat meat cooked and ready to eat off the hook in markets. A bit exaggerated but you get the picture. So no, they're not racist extreme, they just don't want people to stop buying their product.

@sunsporter1649 Yep, that's right. One day there'll be a backlash because people have had enough.
