That ad is pretty damn creepy and maybe somewhat offensive.

A history of white men raping their black slaves in the antebellum South.

I'm a woman and I hardly paid attention to Mrs. Butterworth. I've never bought the syrup or anything and barely paid attention the the commercials.

I never knew she was supposed to be black.

so what is the issue!

I never thought that Mrs. Butterworth was a black woman until I saw this. Honestly, I just never paid attention to Mrs Butterworth commercials before
Now I realize she's a black woman like Aunt Jemima.

I could care less about a preference in syrup, I just like the bottle.

and playing Unchained Melody made it even more so.

Colonel Harland Sanders is coming up behind a 'woman of color' and fondling them. He is caressing her. Yes I find it both creepy and offensive.

I vote not guilty.

Even the song, Unchained Melody. Folks are missing that.

Mrs Butterworth isn’t black.


It’s a Ghost parody.

Others can do what they want, of course.
