The New Racism: Coloured Images Are Erased from History

Aunt Jemima's image is gone and so are the lives of 19 million black children


by Lawrence and Susan  Fox 

Aunt Jemima's name and image are being removed from Quaker Oats Company products in order to promote racial equality.


The company seems to think erasing the images of coloured people brings about equality. Planned Parenthood apparently agrees. They strategically placed their clinics in black neighbourhoods -- 79 percent are found within walking distance of minority communities -- resulting in the death of 19 million black children since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973. 

In 2011, about 14 percent of the nation's child bearing population was black, but this group accounted for 36 percent of all abortions, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's 474 abortions per 1,000 live births, the highest ratio of any racial group in the U.S. 

Abortion was the leading cause of death in the black community in 2011. About 360,000 black babies were aborted, while black deaths that year from all other causes totalled 287,072, according to the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute.

Those 19 million black children and Nancy Green, the original Aunt Jemima, deserve to be remembered, not erased from history. That those black lives have been snuffed out is a national tragedy. 

Nancy Green -- a former slave from Chicago -- played the living version of the Aunt Jemima character at the 1893 World's Fair. She did so well, she was hired to play the role for the rest of her life until her death at age 89. 

Green was a philanthropist and a founding member of Olivet Baptist Church, the oldest active black Baptist church in Chicago, according to Sherry Williams, who extensively researched the woman' life over 15 years as the Bronzeville, Illinois, Historical Society president.


"Black mothers are not irrelevant," Williams told GPB Radio News. "I look at Nancy Green as a black mother figure, and black women are the lifelines for generations, both black and white."
"My mother and grandmother cooked and cleaned in white homes," the black historian said. "My grandmother received little money for her labor, and then she had to turn around from those households and come back to her own house and take care of her own aging mother and young children."

Instead of erasing Aunt Jemima's image altogether, Williams wants Quaker Oats to invest money into preserving the legacy of women like Green and all black women caretakers.

"There's no other segment in society who did everything to take care of everybody," she concluded. "That has always been the black woman."

But what has been Green's reward for a life well lived? The role she played as Aunt Jemima has been erased and she herself is buried in an unmarked grave, forgotten like the the tiny black lives left in their own unknown resting places.  Williams is raising money to put a headstone on Green's last resting place.

So now I get it. The Democrat National Committee and Planned Parenthood have been promoting equality for decades by snuffing out the names and the lives of God's little coloured images nestled in the womb of their coloured mothers.

Now I know why members of the DNC, Black Lives Matter, and AntiFa march and loot in favour of Planned Parenthood. They consider aborting coloured babies as a means of promoting racial equality.

And people ask me, Lawrence Fox,  "Why don't you take more seriously the message of so many decent 'Social Justice Warriors'?"
