Conagra Brands reviewing Mrs. Butterworth's brand after Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben's announcements

[hlthe2b]

7. There is no doubt about Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben's.

That is the difference. If there is controversy about Mrs. Butterworth's, fine, but it certainly has been kept quiet up to now and I'd dare say it is more likely intended to diminish the strength of the argument for offensive labels and brands in general than it is anything about that specific brand. As such it may well only serve to diminish the case we are trying to make. Thus, we should be aware of such manipulation.

As pointed out in posts downstream, Mrs. Butterworth has always been portrayed on commercials as an elderly white grandmother. So, exactly, what is the issue?

We need to be smart about singling out such products without researching the actual history behind the brand and what the logos and name actually represent--as evidenced by the post downstream suggesting the brand "Stubb's barbeque" sauce to be inappropriate--despite being named and featuring its own owner/originator, Mr. C.B. Stubblefield.
