Aunt Jemima Story

 This week, a story popped-up on social media....that Quaker Oats (they own the former brand of Aunt Jemima) is considering in 2025 to bring back Aunt Jemima syrup.

BS?  I paused over this.....the company itself hasn't made a public statement (yet).

This came only from social media.

But I pondered upon the idea....what if you brought back Aunt Jemima, but as a older Haitian lady (say from Springfield)?  One could create this fictional Haitian woman....feeding her nephews pancakes.

I'd even ask....can't we use a trans-woman-Haitian for this situation as well?
