The damage the woke communists have done will be reversed, and supermarket icons like Aunt Jemima will return to their former glory on shelves everywhere.
Do all of you remember when the woke trash went on a rampage and removed many of the longstanding supermarket icons like Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, Land O Lakes, etc.? The companies that owned those products folded like a cheap suit, and suddenly many of those products had bland, completely forgettable replacement branding.
Take a look at this photo to see some of what was removed from our supermarket culture:
This is what the Aunt Jemima product looks like now:
Who the hell would buy it? They even had to put Aunt Jemima’s name on the box to try to sell it to consumers. Obviously, the product lost something when Aunt Jemima was removed, or they would not have added her name back onto the box. Aunt Jemima was the brand; nobody gives a damn about “Pearl Milling Company.” People knew and bought the product because Aunt Jemima was on the bottle. Without her, that product is nothing but a generic bottle of syrup with no consumer identity whatsoever.
What was ironic about the woke censoring of some of these products is that it removed Black icons from supermarket shelves. I remember talking to a friend of mine who had long since succumbed to the woke mind virus and stupidly thought getting rid of Aunt Jemima was some sort of way to “stop racism.” I pointed out to her that if the KKK had launched a campaign to get rid of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben, she would have flown into a rage and demanded that they be protected. Yet, since it came from the woke communists, she went right along with it, likely out of fear of being called a “raaaaaaaacist.” 🙄
Yes, this is how stupid and brainwashed some people are who went along with the Woke Supermarket Genocide. Out of fear or simple ignorance, they never questioned any of it. Nor did any of them understand the concept of a moral panic or that they were caught up in one. They took what they saw happening at face value and wanted to be “good people” and not “bad people.” So they decided to go with the flow and celebrate the censorship of products that had been on the supermarket shelves for many years.
I remember when it started to happen that I couldn’t believe people could be stupid enough to link Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben with the death-by-Fentanyl George Floyd manufactured drama. I knew then we were deep into a moral panic, and it was astounding to see it flow over our society like a tide of raw sewage, leaving the stink of its shit everywhere, including on our supermarket shelves.
I also laughed to myself when I realized that Little Debbie and the Vermont Maid were perfectly safe. They were White! HA HA HA! The woke commies swept all the Black icons out of the supermarket but left the White ones sitting on the shelves. Talk about a true case of “White Supremacy!” Priceless! 😂😂😂
And do I need to bring up the Brawny guy too? 😉
However, the woke commies didn’t just go after supermarket icons; they also went after sports icons like the Washington Redskins logo, which was based on a Blackfoot Indian Chief. That logo was removed because of the woke bullshit, but ZeroHedge now reports that it might soon make a comeback:
In 2020, the NFL team succumbed to pressure from the radical left, promoting woke culture and forcing a name change from the Redskins to the "Washington Commanders."
Before the woke left unleashed cancel culture, the NFL franchise used Native American artist Walter "Blackie” Wetzel's artwork of the Blackfoot chief as the inspiration for the team's logo from 1972 to 2020.
At a recent Energy & Natural Resources Committee meeting on Capitol Hill, Daines stated that there had been "good faith negotiations" with the NFL team to restore the logo of Blackfoot Chief John Two Guns White Calf, which had been in use for half a century.
If the owners and managers of the Washington Redskins team are smart, they will cut the Wetzel family and the Blackfeet tribe in on team merchandise sales. The money generated can be used for productive purposes for that family and tribe, and perhaps for other Indian organizations too. Frankly, if an arrangement like this had been made a long time ago, it would have been much more difficult for the woke communists to successfully push for the removal of the logo.
Let’s face it, money talks and bullshit walks. Woke communism is bullshit, and one of the ways to destroy it is to use money as a weapon. In the case of the Redskins logo, money is a quick and easy way to drive a stake through the heart of what the woke commies have done by erasing the logo created by Blackie Wetzel. Make the appropriate financial arrangements with the Wetzel family and the Blackfeet tribe, and let the money flow to all concerned. Then restore the logo and the original name of the team, and shove it hard into the faces of the woke communists. It would be a win-win for everybody.
Regarding the team’s name, some consider the use of the word “redskin” as a unifying word among the tribes. The American Indian tribes fought many wars with each other, and this is forgotten by many people. Some tribes did some very bad things to other tribes, and that is the harsh reality of their history:
According to Keeley, among the indigenous peoples of the Americas, only 13% did not engage in wars with their neighbors at least once per year. The natives' pre-Columbian ancient practice of using human scalps as trophies is well documented. Iroquois routinely slowly tortured to death captured enemy warriors (see Captives in American Indian Wars for details). In some regions of the American Southwest, the violent destruction of prehistoric settlements is well documented and during some periods was even common. For example, the large pueblo at Sand Canyon in Colorado, although protected by a defensive wall, was almost entirely burned, artifacts in the rooms had been deliberately smashed, and bodies of some victims were left lying on the floors. After this catastrophe in the late thirteenth century, the pueblo was never reoccupied.
For example, at the Crow Creek massacre site (in the territory of the Crow Creek Reservation in South Dakota), archaeologists found a mass grave containing the remains of more than 500 men, women, and children who had been slaughtered, scalped, and mutilated during an attack on their village a century and a half before Columbus's arrival (c. 1325 AD). The Crow Creek massacre seems to have occurred just when the village's fortifications were being rebuilt. All the houses were burned, and most of the inhabitants were murdered. This death toll represented more than 60% of the village's population, estimated from the number of houses to have been about 800. The survivors appear to have been primarily young women, as their skeletons are underrepresented among the bones; if so, they were probably taken away as captives. Certainly, the site was deserted for some time after the attack because the bodies evidently remained exposed to scavenging animals for a few weeks before burial. In other words, this whole village was annihilated in a single attack and never reoccupied.[10]
There are some Indians on one side of the “redskins” name controversy and others on the other side. But spread some cash around, and I’m guessing they’ll be more or less fine with it. The word “redskins” is also much cooler and more powerful than “commanders” and other substitute words. So why not use it? It’s a great name for the team, and if it puts some money into the pockets of the Blackfeet tribe, the Wetzel family, and other American Indian organizations, then so much the better. Everybody wins, and everybody is happy.
The American Indians who championed the removal of the Redskins logo and team name shot themselves in the foot, if you ask me. They erased a symbol of their culture and history and opened the door for more Indian erasure by the woke commies. The woke trash never stop with one thing; they just move on to the next target. Like many others, the American Indians who fell for the woke mind virus probably thought they were doing a good thing for themselves but did not realize that they were aiding in their own elimination from American culture.
Thankfully, we are beginning to see the decline and fall of woke communism. We elected Trump, and that will be a big help once he starts getting rid of DEI and other woke bullshit from the federal government. DEI has also started falling at the corporate level. Walmart and other companies have announced they are ending their DEI programs. So we are making progress in rolling back the terrible damage the woke commies have done to our society. It will still take a long time to fix all of it, but at least we are off to a decent start, with much more to do.
I hope that the restoration of the Washington Redskins logo happens soon, and if it does, I hope it means that all the damage the woke commies have caused to our culture can be utterly erased. Not a single “victory” they have had should be left standing. Everything they have removed should be restored, and their ideology should be completely purged from the West.
When all is said and done, Aunt Jemima’s time will come again! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent article and excellent summary of events from the last 8-10 years.
The woke communism that has engulfed our society and culture started with small groups of people who gained momentum from absurd amounts of money given to them from billionaires and elites like Soros. I believe that if their causes were truly noble, they could have survived without such funding.
Plus, most of the people who have spearheaded or fronted these movements to cancel/censor, either took the money and ran, or they removed themselves from the scene entirely; the Coca Cola executive who thought putting “Be less white” on the bottles is a good example. He resigned.
This started with empathy that became suicidal. With every person, brand, team mascot, etc., that’s been canceled, woke communists have enabled the very things they claim to stand against, i.e., creating racism by “ending racism.” And like you said, Morgthorak, large and upstanding companies that were scared to death of the mob followed suit.
If you cut the money off to this stuff, it will die like a beheaded snake.
Aside from billionaires like Soros, there are dozens of democrat (and some republican) politicians that have reaped heavy financial benefits from woke communism. They, too, have taken the money and ran without lifting a finger to help the people/groups they claim to represent.
Just my thoughts and opinions on things. Again, I loved this article!
I want to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving and God’s blessings to you and your families.
They came after my alma matter. Supposedly 15 year olds were offended by the Indians as a mascot. So the school board had a renaming contest. My suggestion to my daughter and her circle was the Bronies. It actually came in first, but was rejected, they chose bulls. Within a week the Indian statue was removed and re0laced with a bull.
