For as long as I can recall, Aunt Jemima pancake mix (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aunt_Jemima) was an icon in the home yet woke racist politics brought the name of the mix to an end. The sanitizing of American ethnic diversity in products has become insane. The woke nonsense is insane.
In enters Terrence K. Williams, a Black self-made American man and entrepreneur. He started a pancake business called Cousin T’s (https://cousints.com/pages/about-us). He has his own site with other products and a YouTube channel (https://terrencekwilliams.com/).
Oh, and he is quiet conservative!
Many leftists will say he is a “sell-out” or an “uncle Tom” or worse. They merely see a Black person and a stereotype but a stereotype of what? Perhaps there are some racial stereotypes which linger, but the stereotype I see is a positive one: an American happy to sell you a product they believe you will enjoy.
Go to the picture of the man above, and challenge yourself. Why do you see him as Black instead of entreprenerial American offering a useful and enjoyable product? Who is the real racist? Who is really fighting for freedom and prosperity? Williams knows.
And he is a man of faith:
Even in Omaha, acknowledging a Black person for sucess can be difficult, not because of conservatives, but because of leftists. If Aunt Jemima is a racist characterture, what is to be said of the local eatery known as Big Mamas (https://bigmamaskitchen.com/)? In part, some of the prejudice is cultural due to the differences between the South and other places of the United States, but still, why do some seem Black instead of seeing an American at work with a product to offer?
I lost my opportunity to meet Patricia “Big Mama” Barron. She died March 30, 2018 but what she created lives on. Got to love Americans and their happy ambitions.
