With this episode of 'Opening Days' we'll be exploring the history of Aunt Jemima's Kitchen (aka Aunt Jemima's Pancake House), an obscure restaurant from the park’s early days that eventually led to the creation of a larger chain outside of the park.
In addition, we’ll also be going over the origins of the character too, dating all the way back to its creation in the late-1800’s.

Wow so I wasn’t wrong being sad to see AJ’s original branding go, I never thought it was racist but then many of my younger friends told me why it was wrong to have a black woman as the branding for the mix. I said I would miss her friendly face on store shelves and kitchens around the US and I was called a racist for doing so.

My grandfather knew some people, and arranged some neat things there. We ate at Aunt Jemimas kitchen. The woman playing the character told us the true story of Aunt Jemima, slavery included. I remember it has a learning experience 67 years later.

@@BANTHAxFODDERI can imagine she told the story of the background of White people’s obsessions ( American) with the Mammy figure. A racist depiction of Black women as happy, jolly and nurturing servants to White people that they were comfortable with. I imagine this because there is a history of entire restaurants they created around the Mammy figure. Can you believe there were diners or restaurants shaped in the figure of a mammy and painted like one? Look up “ mammy restaurants” and see if you can find a photo of one.

Subordination. It was about creating a two class system. The only thing that would have made any logic to slavery or the fact that a group could be kept as servants to another was to make them as an inferior group. Not just separate bathrooms but a “worse” one for example. Once that is done, it’s easy to justify the awful things done.

Aunt Jemima was my first celebrity crush. As a kid I loved pancakes, so when the local volunteer fire department had a pancake breakfast fund raiser featuring Aunt Jemima serving them, I was ecstatic. It took some serious begging to get the $1.50 to attend, but my parents finally relented. I was somewhat perplexed that the live Aunt Jemima was so much thinner than her depiction on the box. She explained that her doctor put her on a diet. To me she was a hero, making my breakfast such a treat with her delicious pancakes.

I first visited Disneyland in 1958 at age 8. My siblings and I, with our Mother, were guests of my Godmother who lived in Anaheim. We had been told we were going to an amusement park; at the time there were no words in our vocabulary to describe Disneyland to young kids growing up in central California raised with black-n-white television, a heavy black rotary telephone in a special cove in the hallway, real hardwood floors and authentic saddle shoes! It remains one of my most magical memories of childhood. The thing I couldn't help but notice is the fact that the Aunt Jemima Restaurant actually had a 45-cent item on the menu!

The narrator says it, toward the end, and if you've ever researched, dug deep on any subject, when you present the facts, lay out the truth, people will learn the proper context and understand that there is no undoing of what came before, just an understanding that to move forward things change and that makes you part of history, too.

Man I remember when I was a kid whenever I went to my grandparents house my uncle who lived with them would always make us his “ world famous pancakes” for breakfast. I remember they were better than any other pancake in the world I had ate and I would beg him for the recipe. So imagine seven year old me’s shock when I found out they we’re just Aunt Jemima pancake mix. Even then my happiest memories come from sitting at the table, eating some amazing pancakes, and telling my grandparents all about school or summer stuff. I miss those days. I’m a sophomore now, my grandparents are dead, my uncle is struggling with everything, life just seems boring and dark now. What would I give to go back for one day to sit at that table one more time and eat my uncles world famous pancakes.

This type of history is important to learn about. Certain segments in society that yearn for the "Old days" when (they assume) no one cared or complained about racial stereotypes, coloreds knew their place and actually benefited from those depictions of the happy Mammy "feed'n those Honey Chil'ren". The irony today is that when those nostalgic days of yesteryear (For some people) are shown in an accurate but unflattering light, some scream "here they go being all woke"! History is often ugly, beautiful and divisive, but it's always educational! Thank you for the video! I learned something today!

@ralphralpherson9441 3 месяца назад

It wasn't until the War on Poverty that the US government destroyed the black family, instituted welfare (the governments most powerful oppression ever) and started funnelling crack into the inner city. When people talk about the "good old days" they just mean simpler times when there were values and morals everyone agreed upon. We can evolve past the racial stereotypes without throwing everything else in the fire as well. Dont lose the baby with the bathwater so to speak. But instead, we have a nation in moral decay, marriage is a failed institution, broken families everywhere, kids rapidly becoming criminals in a culture that glorifies drug dealers and pimps, and no one has any pride for education or community development. So yeah "here they go being all woke" is a complaint because the first time the "culture" (i.e. corporations and government) went all "woke" it nearly destroyed our society. Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben aren't the reason most inner city schools don't have kids that can read past 3rd grade level.

This also reminds me of Sambo's Restaurant chain. Although its name was created based on the owners' names, the connection of the chain's name with the children's book "The Story of Little Black Sambo" was quickly captialized upon. This led to the design of an interior motif that was based on the book.

That's the thing with branding, though. Something has been around for so long, and people get used to it. But if the brand started out as Pearl Milling Company, and it was changing now, you would probably feel the same about that name as you do with Aunt Jemima. In the future, everyone will just identify it as Pearl Milling Company and it won't seem cold or unfamiliar anymore.

But as it is right now, I don't think Pearl Milling Company's branding will be as memorable as the old Aunt Jemima, and I believe it's because it's too similar. In my opinion, because of the name change and wanting to completely dismiss Aunt Jemima, they should just rebrand the whole thing. Make it entirely different rather than keeping the aspects of the old brand name. I do think its possible for this brand to become a household name, but I don't think keeping Aunt Jemima's look is going to help them.

One cook asked me if I was enjoying watching him make pancakes. I said YES and asked how he’s knew when to turn them over. The cook launched in to a step-by-step instruction spiel on how their pancake batter is made and how to cook perfect pancakes every time. To this day I make them the same way.

@TarotMage 3 года назад

And that's where the phrase "E-ticket Ride" (meaning something exciting or spectacular) came from. I went to Disney World in 1972 and the rides were based on the ticket system. The more popular rides (The Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean and after it was built, Space Mountain) were honored with "E" ticket status. Those were the first to go from the ticket book, of course. :D
