And although the company has tried to strip away the most racist stuff over the years people still associate aunt jemima with ads like this one from 1945, where aunt jemima is saying lawsee folks sho whoops with joy over aunt jemima pancakes. So, yeah, those ads were so racist, trump going to appoint one to attorney general. Its als
