Cancel culture is now targeting the brands of Uncle Ben’s rice and Mrs. Butterworth syrup because they have been declared racist.

After the Aunt Jemima announcement, the owners of the brands Uncle Ben's and Mrs. Butterworth's are also promising changes https://t.co/FICjsis3ML

So once again, maybe someone can tell me how the hell we have systemic racism. A systemically racist system would not be a system in which corporations would be promising major brand changes because people on social media accused them of racism.

This is an extremist system of anti-racism that’s built on claiming that everything imaginable is racist. This is just more proof of it.

I can’t wait to see what gets accused of racism next. Maybe they will accuse the Pillsbury Doughboy of being a Neo-Nazi and a White supremacist.

I hate and despise fake maple syrups so boycotting the Mrs. Butterworth brand is no issue at our home - also dislike processed and heavily salted rice, such as “Uncle Ben’s.”

Cream of Wheat too:

Until 2001 this was the mascot of Robertson’s Jam in the UK.

The “Golliwog”.

Here are some of the golliwog band figures.

And people have made videos of the golliwogs ‘performing’.

[DrTeapot]

LOL. When I was at university in the UK back in the 70’s there were occasional complaints in the radical student press about the Gollies, but the mascot survived at that time. It was even defended by some Blacks, who were (no doubt) Uncle Toms & house niggers.

[DrTeapot]

Pillsbury might as well just put a swastika armband on the doughboy at this point.

Go, Granny, go!

And don’t forget this:

Cream of Wheat: if it’s too thin, just whip it.

[ChristianSoldier]

Don’t underestimate the insanity. Pillsbury could be next. Or how about the Man from Glad or Mr. Clean?

[Trevor]

I’ve seen a golliwog thing of one of these eating a watermelon.

[ForlornHope]

Mrs Butterworth is black?

[infostormer]

The michelin man is another that will have to go.

[Trevor]

No, but apparently because syrup is brown and the colour of the bottle of is like, brown-ish (and translucent) plus the shape of the body, that means Mrs Butterworth ‘appropriates’ the ‘mammy’ stereotype.

This is their reasoning. The mental gymnastics they put themselves through for who knows what reason.

[ForlornHope]

Those are fighting words! Mr Bibendum must stay!
