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...
What constitutes Africana Americana?

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.

I find that quite offensive!
I agree, waffles are better. 😀
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.

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.
