Couldn't decide where to put this, I thought it was funny so I was going to put it in jokes but on the other hand I have warts I thought it was crazy so I'm putting it here as opposed to the ancient History Section that I couldn't find. Am I rambling?

First they came for Aunt Jemima. And I did not speak out — because I don't care. It's pancake syrup.
Correction: They came for the Land O' Lakes maiden first, then Aunt Jemima. Uncle Ben's days must be numbered too. We have all the makings here for a terrible political cartoon set on the "Isle of Political Correctness" where discarded ex-mascots based on racial stereotypes forlornly welcome new arrivals. "You too, Ben?" says a plaintive Frito Bandito.

Trump should demand that Quaker Oats not only keep the image of Aunt Jemima on the package but restore the "mammy" kerchief that the character used to wear before it was modernized. ("Tradition!") If he's going to fight a culture war to protect Confederate names on U.S. military bases, he might as well fight on all fronts.

This is some funny s*** along with a couple of good tweets
