At the risk of this thread taking a bad turn I am going to clarify my post.
Aunt Jemima panckakes and pancake syrup evokes a pleasant childhood memory for me and it couldn't be any furthur from racism. It's when someone decides to twist it and pervert it for whatever reason that it becomes offensive.
As far as the comment about "Hodunk towns", I believe that the term "Podunk" not "Hodunk". I live in Kankakee Illinois at present but come from a smaller town east of here called Momence. It has a population of about 3000 give or take and has some of the nicest people that you would ever want to meet in it. They watch out for each other and will give you the shirt off their back if you would need it. I would be willing to bet that there are no homes without heat and no kids that are going to bed hungry in Momence.
So, If it somehow makes you feel better about yourself pointing out the fact that I Live in what you refer to as a "Hodunk town" then by all means, continue. I'm proud to come from a small town and the older I get, the happier I am about it.
As much as I hate to respond to any of your sillines, I'm not going to let your accusation stand without a response.
