Cracker Barrel under attack because it ‘feels’ like a racist place, with a racist name
2020-06-12
[BIZPACREVIEW] First they came for "Cops" and "Gone With The Wind," and now they appear to be gunning for Cracker Barrel. Sort of.

Amid the Maoist-like cultural revolution currently happening across the states, there seems to be an emerging movement to smear (and eventually possibly cancel) the iconic Southern restaurant chain Cracker Barrel.

It reportedly began with April Reign, the far-left activist reportedly responsible for launching the stunningly racist #OscarsSoWhite hashtag.

Responding to a Twitter user who’d asked if people have "ever walk[ed] into a place that just FEELS racist," Reign responded by citing Cracker Barrel.

#14  The family stopped at a Cracker Barrel near Detroit a few years ago. We and a handful of others were the only whites there. Didn't appear racist in any way that I could tell except there were few whites there.

#10  I think its time we just laugh at them. The more they whine we just laugh more. This has progressed into a clown show.

#9  ^ When I was a kid I had a toy that was a little plastic barrel with little plastic monkeys inside. I suppose that in today's world that would be considered racist but it never even occurred to me at the time.

#4  I am a big fan of Cracker Barrel and the staff and patrons look like ‘America’. Some folks should visit a few establishments before going after them.

There ain’t nothing racist about breakfast! 24/7 by the way

#3  He has obviously never been in Cracker Barrels in Texas. More people of color there than whites most days. Its the only place you can get decent sausage biscuits & gravy or grits on the road.

#1  Cracker is a slur against whites, last I checked - shouldn't they be fine with it?
