    People are offended about people being offended, rather ironic.

    Lipstick on a pig gives you a pig with lipstick.

    Why aren't the blacks offended that she has been removed? Why not embrace that a black person/lady promoted a very successful and delicious product? To me, this is akin to tearing down their own statues/monuments.

    I think the branding changes are a good trend, and hope it continues.

    Many years ago. There was nothing wrong with being a servant. People could sell themselves as a servant, or into slavery. There weren't many other options in the ancient world. Someone could sell themselves as a slave and you would have to work, But you would be provided with food, water and shelter. Then you would be set free after 7 years. Honestly it really wasn't a bad life for the time as long as you were treated fairly. But up to today's standards obviously it wouldn't be desirable, even though we practically do the same today. Slave away for a paycheck so you can buy your own food water and shelter. Some people still have live in housekeepers.

    I never understood why the National Anthem needed to be played before a kid's game.While growing up as a kid all it took was the shout " Play Ball ".

    Sadly Ms.Green's descendants aren't reaping the financial rewards of Ms.Green's recipe.

    Can't help myself either. The Aunt Jemima brand is an American success story. Nancy Green was born into slavery and started the popular brand using her image.
    Read the article above.
    Why do have to try and erase history of an outstanding woman.
