Breakfast … they say it’s the most important meal of the day. Especially for cultivating hate and racism. For over 130 years, children and families gathered around the breakfast table (and sometimes dinner table, you rebels) to devour a big ‘ol stack of Aunt Jemima buttermilk pancakes. Little did they know, at that time, they were participating in and perpetuating racism. That’s right, for over 130 years families have been cooking up white supremacy with every flapjack. Instead of a quick prayer before meals, millions of households threw up the one-armed salute, then devoured that fluffy tower of goodness. And what goes better with racistcakes than Aunt Jemima’s delicious segregation syrup? In some areas, families made it a racist trifecta, by adding Land O Lakes butter. It was a complete breakfast of white supremacist champions. But fret not, the white man will no longer use Aunt Jemima to spread his hate behind her sweet smile, and southern dimples. No longer will she look across the table from her box of pancake mix or bottle of syrup. Be gone Aunt Jemima, out into the cornfield with you. Future generations can rest assured that they are safe now. Safe from a delicious breakfast, because breakfast is awful.
