if you didn't know nancy green, the original aunt jemima, she was a freed slave who went on to be theace of the pancake syrup that we love and have in our pantry today. she fought for equality. and now the leftist mod is trying to erase her legacy. >> cnn reports there is no evidence nancy green was ever made wealthy in this partnership despite the company using her likeliness. but it was used to perpetuate a mammy stereotype. >> the president was speaking to a bunch of young people. a young person sent out there to make this point about cancel culture and political correctness and wound up being used by the trump campaign in this capacity. there is reporting that the green family are not in favor of having their relatives, at least as reported removed from the bottles but it is not clear they were making riches from this and more importantly the side that is not presented quaker oats whether it is too late or just in time is trying to be responsive to the moment. of course their interest is the bottom line. but if it is trying to be responsive to the moment the issue is not as that y

. >> so cnn reports, david, that there is no historical evidence that nancy green was ever made wealthyrtnership despite the company using her likeliness -- her likeness, i should say. but, really? the american dream, her likeness was used to perpetuate a mammy stereotype. >> you had a young person sent out there to make this point about cancel culture and political correctness and she wound up, you know, being sort of used by the trump campaign in this capacity. yes, there is some reporting out there that the green family and the richard family don't -- aren't necessarily in favor of having their relatives, at least as reported, removed from these bottles, but as you say, it's not clear that they were making riches from this. and more importantly, the side that's not presented there is quaker oats, whether it's too late or just in time or however you want to look at it is trying to be responsive to the moment. of course they're a corporation and their interest is the bottom line, but if a corporation is trying to be responsive to the moment, the issue really isn't as that young woman p

quaker's website side the logo started in 1890, based on nancy green. green was born into slavery.od companies have been criticized for preserving images. conagra, the maker of mrs. butterworth's syrup will make a new brand. they will create meaningful and ongoing support engagement in the black community. these are bold moves but also a long time coming for these companies. another really important point about corporate america. you know, they can give $5 million and give money, but corporate america writes the paychecks, does the hiring, does the training, does the promotion. corporate america here has a very real how they hire. >> coming up next, rayshard brooks speaks in a haunting interview just months before he was shot to death. >> i have to have my guard up because the world is cruel. >> more from him in his own words coming up. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ did you know that 70% is located in your gut? so, by keeping your gut healthy, you keep your immune system healthy. try align gut health and immunity support to help naturally support your gut health and boost your immune system, formulate

in the early 1890s, nancy green, a former slave, was hired to become the face of the brand. would be the first of many aunt jemimas. >> when i look at aunt jemima, i'm already looking at 100 years of aunt jemima branding. so, you know, the one today looks like my aunt. but the ones over the years? i mean, the first one was absolutely brutal. i mean, it's just an old- ned caricature. >> reporter: and quaker oats north america, the maker of aunt in their press release announcing the rebranding, the company says, "we recognize aunt jemima's origins are based on a racial stereotype. while work has been done over the years to update the brand in a manner intended to be appropriate and respectful, we realize those changes are not meough." but the corporatage is not resonating with everyone. posts on facebook and other social media platforms have echoed the sentiment that came from this week's trump rally. >> i've seen people on-- on-- on social media, saying, you know, like, what does this have to do with anything? h the justice movement, whs set off by the brutal murder of george

over the years to update the brand where realize those changes are not enough and was based on nancy green a beloved african-american storyteller was born in slavery but rose to become a talented entrepreneur in the post civil war years there was something about it and to my mother the call for angela my mother to be changed has been building on social media for a long time did you know the founder chris wright a white man to get the name after attending to michelle the black face did you also know we had former slaves there is a great city is very much amana where she went around to the barricades and tell the people stories of the good ole sad and afterwards they had sent home about 7 to her and that feeling of having their very own man that was mad at people. even over this some say it's far from racist to have the image of a black person on a food product list of brands changing their logos is growing. amid all the protest and public outrage it seems that images symbols and monuments have become the focus of so much public discussion. politicians are eager to make grand gestures for th

i actually didn't know that her name was nancy green. lived in turkey, and in elementary school a little white child called me aunt jemima. i didn't know what it meant. but i knew it probably was not a good thing. that said, i've got aunt jemima and mrs. butterworth now. i'm thinking what took us so long. what took us so long to make that change? i'm glad this is happening. glad this is happening. what have you got -- what else have you got, something about soccer? >> that's right. and to the point that you just made, gayle, about change. soccer players in england's premier league are showing support for the black lives movement. they resumed the soap three months after the coronavirus put it on hold with no fans. players, officials, and staff took a knee after the opening whistle was blown. players wore the phrase "black lives matter" on the back of their jerseys instead of their names. we told you last week how u.s. soccer required people to stand during the national anthem. the nfl is encouraging peaceful protests. black lives matter

and if you didn't know, nancy green, the original first aunt jemima, she was the picture of the americanwas a freed slaver who went on to be the face of the pancake syrup we love and have in our pantries today. she fought for equality, and now the leftist mob is trying to erase her legacy. might i mention how privileged we are, as a nation, if our biggest concern is a bottle of pancake syrup. >> i don't think that is the biggest concern. i'll put that aside as i bring in dan gasby to talk about this. you started the drive to get rid of the aunt jemima branding and cofounder of the smith enterprises, which operate as chain of restaurants. what is your thought when you think aunt juniemima is the american dream? >> maybe someone who doesn't know what it's like to be african-american and the derogatory way in which it's used. it has been a slur to women of colorer, black women in particular. i've had that situation happen in my restaurant, and i've had people, both black and white, understood what it meant, and escourted people who were making that derogatory comment about one of the people

if this is the grandson, one of the descendants of nancy green, who was the earliest ill personator ofit is important to be respectful to the legacies of various people who have given their all across time, embodying certain personas because they were making the most of the time in which they lived. i think of patty mcdaniel who portrayed the nanny character with so much iciness in gone with the wind. definitely brought a lot of dignity to that caring. that doesn't necessarily mean that we have to remain in that place of stereotyping and otherness. so while i understand the personal concerns, we need to recognize these symbols are still very problematic. that they represent a time in which blacks were expected to be subordinate because they were perceived to be inferior. so what happens when we replace the symbols that have pre dominated with more empowering images? >> professor, thank you for your time. have a great weekend. >> you too. thank you so managing type 2 diabetes? you're on it. exercising often and eating healthy? yup, on it there too. you may think you're doing all you can

and if you didn't know, nancy greene, the original first aunt jemima, she was a picture of the americance of the pancake syrup that we love and have in our pantries today. she fought for equality, and now the leftist mob is trying to erase her legacy. and might i mention how privileged we are as a nation if our biggest concern is a bottle of pancakeke syrup. and more recently we are seeing a call or statues of jesus christ to be torn down. now, i'm a little confused to because last week jesus was a social justice warrior. and jimmy kimmel has been calling our president racist for years and it turns out he's a racist. there's governors that are getting away with wearing blackface, that's just flying under the radar. i want to encourage you all to stand firm in your beliefs. we need truth. we need hard cold facts and truth now more than we ever have before and we are so blessed to have a president who stands on the front lines, walks through the fire every day to fight for our god-given american freedoms. .. for always standing firm, for being here for the american people and for fighting

administration will not even consider calls to name timmy greene name ten military bases that were named for confederate generals. house speaker nancyonding with this. >> the american people know these names have two. these names are white supremacist, you listen to who they are and what they said and then you have the president make our case as to why a base should be named for them. he seems to be the only person left who doesn't get it. >> katie: charles, your thoughts? >> charles: it's one of those things, going back to nascar first, we've always talked about private enterprise doing things they thought they should do and free market as well, hands off. so if nascar is at this point in time and that's what they want to do, i don't have a problem with this, i spent the first half of my childhood as an army brat and i lived in fort bragg, i did not know the history of the name in fifth grade. there's a lot of pressure and there certainly is a sea change in this country but i want to say that these things, these efforts do not really make a major material difference and what i worry about is whether it's corporations writing checks

green uniform of the wasp. the name of the collaborative group were jackie and nancy worked together to make this project work. of the name changes in the summer of 1943, to the women air force service pilots because the jobs they had expanded where initially they were just going to be scary pilots. by the summer of 43 ' the army air force realized that an opportunity to see what else women could do and so they expanded to towing targets initially out of davis in north carolina and are then doing sorts of other jobs, so they realized that the scott-- squadron name was no longer accurate so they expanded it to women service pilots, which there were men who were service pilots for the army air forces they had 8f on their waiting for the service pilots so they were changing that -- something that already existed calling of women in service pilots and i think they added air force in there to make it in the nice acronym. general arnold was all about the acronym. you didn't want it to be whacked. he wanted something that sounded nice i'm pretty sure he added that in. i have not found a document to prove it, but that

green with an excerpt on the history of juneteenth. it's important to honor its legacy >>> on capitol hill a symbolic gesture honoring juneteenth. nancy pelosi ordered the removal of four portraits that served the confederacy. they removed the portraits >> educators say the history of systemic racism in the country and the the contributions of black people have been whitewashed and erased from j, e many children are not taught about these historical events. garrett king says it's erased tons of history to combat the progressive narrative. they include the experiences of black people and other minority groups >> the failure in every sense. >>> a growing list of companies around the world will be observing juneteenth for their employees. it celebrating the official end of slavery in the united states. maej companies like all state, best buy, general motors, google, mastercard, nike, target, twitter, the nfl, many more all say that they are going to be observing juneteenth today. while some companies are offering paid time off, others like gm will commemorate with learning opportunities and a moment of silence. >>> the last surviving sib
