What is Africana Americana?

I have been trying to list Aunt Jemima pancake on the go and each time it's taken down because it's Africana Americana.

However, there is a category.  https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=Africana+americana&_sacat...

Aunt Jemima pancake syrup bottles, Uncle Ben rice packages, Mrs. Butterworth products and anything of that ilk have nothing to do with "the history of those of African descent, in America."

What color skin did he have?  Or was he a white dude in a stupid hat?   Only white people adverts are now allowed.  Go figure.

Of course it is a 'business decision'.  Who wants their product boycotted, reviewed ill-favorably or thought of in a bad light?  And, don't forget, no more sports teams with names like Indians or Chiefs or Red Skins, professional or school, either. 

 

Just the tip of the iceberg, but business decisions, you understand.  There isn't a person in the world that isn't offended by something.

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

The foolishness of one's actions or words is determined by the number of witnesses.

Perhaps if Brains were described as an APP, many people would use them more often.

Respect, like money, is only of 'worth' when it is earned - with all due respect, it can not be ordained, legislated or coerced. Anonymous

Or crepes, with strawberries and whipped cream.  😋

It is seems to incorporate almost anything (resembling, seems like, looks similar to, is reminiscent of, might put one in mind of, etc.) that might convey the subject of or about the history of those of African descent, in America, from the time of the settling of America.


Strange that I can list it at the A* site.

"The Aunt Jemima brand is/was recently renamed because the image and logo are based on racism. That is why your listing is being removed."

 

Personally, I think that should be worded to the effect that 'some felt that it was based on racism'.  Being an octogenarian, and having 'experienced' Aunt Jemima products from an early age, with no inclination of bias or thoughts of racism, in regards to that and many other items/products, I tend to think that there may be many more like me that might take exception to the presumption.


Gracie, I agree.  I remember at one time Africana Americana or slave period art and materials were very valuable.  Very historical.  My how times have changed.  

The A* site listing has the facial image on the products.

BLM decided Aunt Jemima was a slave therefor Ebay and the manufacturer of syrup had to remove her. Sorry but you cannot list those things here.
