YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Hear the backstory of the Aunt Jemima caricature and why removing her from the new "Pearl Milling Company" pancake and syrup packaging was long overdue. There has been much debate about whether this represents 'cancel culture' at its worst. Are we canceling pancakes and syrup now? On the contrary. There is a long history of the creation of black caricatures such as Uncle Tom, Jim Crow and Old Dan Tucker by white blackface performers. The Aunt Jemima box, innocuous and even inviting, is unfortunately a part of this sad history. Follow below for more video essays, music, social commentary and comedy sketches.

New music coming! Hear it here:
