Aunt Jemima brand to change name, remove image that Quaker says is 'based on a racial stereotype'

June 17, 2020 Add Comment
The Aunt Jemima brand of syrup and pancake mix will get a new name and image, Quaker Oats announced Wednesday, with the company stating that "Aunt Jemima's origins are based on a racial stereotype."
The 130-year-old brand had a black woman named Auntie Jemima history, who was originally dressed as a misteller character. 
The picture has changed over time, and in recent years Quaker removed "Mummy" Kirkiff from the character in order to blunt the growing criticism that the brand maintained a racist stereotype that dates back to the days of slavery. But PepsiCo's subsidiary Quaker said the removal of the image and name is part of the company's "effort to progress towards racial equality".
"We recognize that Auntie Jemima's origins are based on a racial conservatism," Kristin Kroffle, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Quaker Foods North America, said in a press release. " Work for. Our portfolio of brands should also be closely monitored and ensure that they reflect our values ​​and meet the expectations of our consumers. "
Kroffl said the company worked to "appropriately" and respectfully "update" the brand, but felt the changes were inadequate.
Aunt Jemima has recently faced renewed criticism from the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody amid protests across the country and around the world.
People on social media called for the brand to continue using the image and discussed its racist history with the topic on Twitter.
In Viral Tickcock, a singer named Kirby discussed the history of the brand in a video titled "How to Make a Non-Racist Breakfast". She concludes the post that has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times on the platform, "Black Life Matter, people, even at breakfast."
Aron Jemima, "Riche Richardson, an associate professor at Cornwell University, said Wednesday on the" Today "show," There is a regressive image of Black Womanhood on store shelves. "There is this kind of conservatism that is based on this idea of ​​black inferiority and otherness."
"A lot of these symbols are necessary to evacuate our public spaces, because some people trigger and represent terror and abuse," Richardson said.
In a 2015 piece for The New York Times, Richardson wrote that the inspiration for the brand's name came from a minstrel song, "Old Aunt Jemima", in which black actors mocked black actors and extorted black people.
Logos, Richardson wrote, "neglected the mother ... a devoted and humble servant who eagerly nurtured the children of her white master and mistress."
The company's own product timeline states that Aunt Jemima was first "brought to life" by Nancy Green, a black woman who was previously a slave and became the face of the product in 1890.
In 2015, a judge dismissed a lawsuit against the company by two men who claimed to be descendants of Anna Harrington, a black woman portraying Jemima in the 1930s, with the company properly compensating their assets with royalties. Did not.
Quaker said the new packaging will begin appearing in the fall of 2020, and a new name for the food items will be announced later.
The company also announced that it would "donate at least $ 5 million over the next five years" to build meaningful, ongoing support and engagement in the Black community.
Dena Ramey Berry, professor of history at The University of Texas, said the decision to leave the name and image of Aunt Jemima is significant because the brand normalized racist depictions of black women.
Aunt Jemima said, "placed the domestic woman as a domestic woman in space," associating them with serving food under a "plantation mentality".
Berry also said that it would be misleading to describe the change by Quakers as a loss of representation for black women.
Criticizing Aunt Jemima's image, she says, "about representation - the stereotypes and the painful and degrading ways in which we are represented."

second stimulus checks update

The worst economic catastrophe since the Great Depression prompted lawmakers to send direct checks of up to $ 1,200 to Americans affected by the coronovirus epidemic earlier this year, but the outlook for payments for the second time is blurred.

House Democrats on Tuesday unveiled a $ 3 trillion relief package that would send another round of $ 1,200 checks to American adults and children and expand the number of people who are eligible to receive government assistance. Payments will be capped at $ 6,000 per house.

"We are talking about this with many different people," President Trump said earlier this week. "We are talking about payroll tax. I want to look at various things, but we are talking about this. We are negotiating with the Democrats."

But the House bill faces a tough, tough fight: Senate Republicans cried out the bill as a "liberal wish list" and declared that it had no chance of being passed.

Republicans have not yet issued a relief bill, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that it included enhanced medical malpractice protection for health care providers in COVID-19 cases and businesses, nonprofits and government New legal protections for agencies may be included.

McConnell and other Republicans have said they want to stop and allow nearly $ 3 trillion approved to start trickling through the economy before passing additional aid.

On Wednesday, Federal Reserve President Jerome Powell, a Republican, issued a warning about the state of the US economy if the federal government does not pass additional policy measures, the recession could become "prolonged." He did not say which policies should be considered.

"Additional fiscal support can be costly, but it is worth it if it helps avoid long-term economic losses and leaves us with a strong recovery," said Paver. "This tradeoff is one for our elected representatives, who wipe out the powers of taxation and spending."

So far, Congress has passed four major stimulus packages totaling approximately $ 3 trillion to blunt economic suffering from the outbreak of the virus. This includes the $ 2.2 trillion Carriage Act at the end of March, which sent lump sum payments of up to $ 1,200 to Americans who make less than $ 99,000.

Some Democrats have taken a different approach to stimulus measures. Sensor. Kamala Harris, D-California., Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., And Ed Markey, D-Mass. Earlier this month unveiled a bill that would give most Americans a monthly payment of $ 2,000 until the virus outbreak faded.

Similar to a House bill proposed in mid-April, senators called on every American to pay $ 2,000 in cash, earning less than $ 120,000. This would extend to $ 4,000 for married couples and provide an additional $ 2,000 for each child up to three.
