@georgetakei So, Ben Stein longs for the Aunt Jemima caricature from the 1930s and '40s. (The logo was updated decades ago, sometime during the 1980s, if memory serves. And the print ads in magazines back then are cringe-worthy, especially if you're African American.) Well, that's too damn bad, Ben Stein.

@georgetakei senile old man. Was he eating the syrup because there was a a black woman on the label? Did it change the taste when they changed the label? Heā€™s an ass.

@georgetakei I keep scratching my head and wondering. Was this fellowā€¦ supposed to be funny? What is he, and how did he come to bother us? National Lampoon? šŸ¤” I vaguely recall him playing a bad professor on television movie rerunsā€¦ was there a game show I never watched?

Why be shockingly up-front and honest now?

Moreā€™s the point: why does his (seemingly racist) voice particularly matter? Iā€™ve got some research to do. Iā€™m really trying to figure out why heā€™s special and how heā€™s relevant. šŸ˜Ÿ

@georgetakei After Scott Adams' rant about white folks staying away from black ones, these 2 aging white guys should get in a room together and debate the proper amount of "exposure" to black folks.
Ben Stein likes a logo featuring the likeness of spokeswoman Nancy Green, a former slave, on a bottle of syrup. Bet he would've done everything to avoid her in real life had he met her in the 1920s.
