The Black chef will no longer appear on Cream of Wheat packaging where he was the face of the brand for more than a century, the product’s parent company announced in a decision that comes three months after it vowed to re-evaluate its marketing to ensure it did not “inadvertently contribute to systemic racism.”
As a white man, I will never buy Cream OF Wheat again because they dropped the Black guy
When was the last time you bought Cream of Wheat?
Cream of rice is better, but no black chef, well that's just so racist. I better make this last box last!I admit, it's been awhile

Is it systemic racism with all products with whites on it or is it only blacks?

they are basically harming black people to prevent supposedly harming black people.
it is the dumbest logic in the world.

Brand management is the rhyme and reason...
You sure we are talking about the same thing? It's just a picture of a chefThe image itself harkens back to the days of Minstrel shows and little black Sambo when blacks were subjugated and knew their place. Change is good, time for an update.
Good stuff with a little butter and maple syrup on it.
Nothing ridiculous about it. Times change. Western culture outgrew and moved away little black Sambo and other stereotypical imagery and portrayals of blacks with big lips and bug eyes in advertising and print media.Thank God! Now we can enjoy the racial harmony that this will bring!
Ridiculous. Just another member of the Corporate ***** Brigade.
Why is it bigoted, though, to imply that something prepared by a black person is delicious? I don't understand this one.
If you put butter and maple syrup on a shoe, it tastes good.
Again, what picture are you looking at?Nothing ridiculous about it. Times change. Western culture outgrew and moved away little black Sambo and other stereotypical imagery and portrayals of blacks with big lips and bug eyes in advertising and print media.
