Although it's off-topic, for the record, here's the words to that Aunt Jemima song that I mentioned in my last post:

AUNT JEMIMA

Ole Aunt Jemima grow so tall,
Dat she couldn' see da groun'.
She stumped her toe, an' down she fell
From de Blackwoods clean to town.

W'en Aunt Jemima git in town,
An' see dem "tony" ways,
She natchully faint an' back she fell
To de Blackwoods whar she stays.

[Thomas W. Talley, Negro Folk Rhymes (Kennikat Press Edition, 1968, p. 107; originally published in 1922)

In that song "Aunt Jemima" type Black women were being 'put down' because of their rural background & ways, and not because they ingratiated herself to White folks. But when Black people felt we needed a female counterpart to Uncle Tom, Aunt Jemima was chosen. I believe that this wasn't so much because of the fictitious Aunt Jemima character herself {as she was portrayed by women who dressed the part to promote that brand of pancake mix}. Instead, I think that the name "Aunt Jemima" was chosen because it was a familiar name, and because of how that character was drawn by White folks in the early to mid twentieth century. If you notice the Aunt Jemima drawing on the pancake mix today, her image is decidedly different than the image on the earlier packages and advertisements...
