BRAND NEW Mammy / Jemima Cookie Jar. This beautiful cookie jar has been designed in a 3-dimensional form of Aunt Jemima / Mammy. It really is a beautiful piece with plenty of detail!
The cookie jar stands approx...
I'm watching an old episode of Wife Swap. A black family and white family switched "wives", and when the black "wife" changed the rules, she asked the Mammy cookie jar to be removed.
Do you find them offensive?
Everyone answer...I want to hear everyone's opinions...
I asked the question because the lady on this show found them offensive, I was wondering what other people thought. I'm not reading too much into anything.
I put the picture up because I didn't know if some people would know exactly what I was talking about. I didn't know if someone calls them something different than "mammy jar"
Soccer mom, where in the question did I say I thought it was offensive? I don't even know where to stand on this, I don't know anything about them.
Some people are offended by EVERYTHING.
Did you ever see the George Lopez show where some Caucasian guy had a statue of a Mexican man with the big hat? That old style? George Lopez made all sorts of jokes about it being offensive racially and said that he was going to get a stature of a white guy pointing fingers. It was hilarious.
It is not like the Mammy Jar had a CHAIN around her NECK and was in the pose of picking cotton. I wonder if the Mrs. Butterworth bottle offends her, too. (The syrup is not WHITE and the lady is clear therefore looks NOT WHITE)
I didn't know what you were talking about with Mammy Cookie Jar... until I saw the link. Thank you.
I feel that it is not Al Jolsen... it is rather antique looking.
Did she make them throw it away or put it away, I wonder? I want to see that episode, now. That is intriguing. So did they replace it with the Pillsbury Dough Boy? Can't get much whiter than that.
It reminds me of Gone With The Wind.
Good question, too.
