You could've looked this up yourself if you were:
a) literate enough
b) interested enough in the truth
c) gave enough of a shit about anything but spouting right-wing shit.
Idiot.The Mammy Caricature
Mammy is the most well known and enduring racial caricature of African American women. The Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State University has more than 100 items with the mammy image, including ashtrays, souvenirs, postcards, fishing lures, detergent, artistic prints, toys, candles, and kitchenware. This article examines real mammies, fictional mammies, and commercial mammies.
Real Mammies
From slavery through the Jim Crow era, the mammy image served the political, social, and economic interests of mainstream white America. During slavery, the mammy caricature was posited as proof that blacks -- in this case, black women -- were contented, even happy, as slaves. Her wide grin, hearty laugher, and loyal servitude were offered as evidence of the supposed humanity of the institution of slavery.
This was the mammy caricature, and, like all caricatures, it contained a little truth surrounded by a larger lie. The caricature portrayed an obese, coarse, maternal figure. She had great love for her white "family," but often treated her own family with disdain. Although she had children, sometimes many, she was completely desexualized. She "belonged" to the white family, though it was rarely stated. Unlike Sambo, she was a faithful worker. She had no black friends; the white family was her entire world. Obviously, the mammy caricature was more myth than accurate portrayal.

C'MON MAN!!!!
Oh so she longer was a "mammy" like you said she was prior to your edit?
The fact still remains that the Aunt Jemima image has its roots in the old south during a time when stereotyping black people served other purposes that usually were not in the interest of blacks themselves.
They were images to be made fun of by whites, not respected or revered.
The term "Aunt Jemima" when used to describe a heavy set black woman from a simple background, was usually meant in a derogatory and mocking way.
The thing here is that you know that every bit as well as I do, yet you used the comparison on a black woman Democrat anyway, then tried to play dumb in order to get away with it.
Typical right-wing behavior.
C'MON MAN!!!!
Maid, mammy, what's the diff? Aunt Anna cooked, cleaned and took care of us since mom had irregular hrs. working as a nurse. We called her our maid, that's why I changed it. Would've been disingenuous to call Aunt Anna our mammy.
I always considered those mammy characters loveable. Too bad you don't.
I thought Biden quit.....

Ape lives matter. Stop putting them in zoos. Boycott businesses that don't hire apes.
Then answered all the Jews, and said, Jesus' blood be on us, and on our children. So be it.
Jews want to turn America into an atheistic, amoral, socialist farmyard.
