Help[Opinions] Re: Susannah & Jemima
in reply to a message by Zina
Well, I think the issue is that Aunt Jemima was/is a mammy stereotype, not just that she's black.
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I guess an older black woman cooking doesnt bother me enough. Should it? She just looks like a happy mother to me. Mammies were/are just helpers who work to support themselves. They wouldn’t imply slavery on a syrup bottle; in fact I support the visibility of a minority. I feel like I am on a different wavelength.
