Cracker Barrel Is Under Fire for Its "Racist" Name
Posted on 4/9/23 at 3:42 pm

According to Dictionary.com, “cracker-barrel” means “of or suggesting the simple rustic informality and directness thought to be characteristic of life in and around the country store.”
But some Twitter users have also pointed out that the term "cracker" might have another, more racist connotation.
quote:
"[Those writers] decided that they were called that because of the cracking of the whip when they drove slaves," historian Dana Ste. Claire told the outlet, though he noted those the term would be applied to weren't typically wealthy enough to own slaves.

In a tweet, one user claimed you can even see a whip in the logo, going from the first R in "barrel" to the K in "cracker."

This is a classic example of like six people on Twitter trying to influence an entire movement towards changing a name. The worst thing anyone can do is report on this or be outraged. That's what they want. Before social media no one would put this in print.
Right now I could dredge up six or seven people that feel bacon is racist or chicken pot pies are "problematic". The question is, should anyone care.

Black folks call white folks crackers so I figured that’s where the name came from…?
Naw, anyone who knows what a Cracker Barrel is knows it was a reference to old store times, like a pickle barrel.
Some folks just want to gain notoriety by stirring up shite, frick em.

True but you also have to blame Democrats for gaslighting this social terrorism.

That pretty much sums up leftist white women. They are some of the most privileged spoiled brats on the face of the earth. When you have nothing else to do because your so well off, you find trivial bullshite to worry about.

While it's currently unclear whether or not there is any historical evidence to that claim, the company has since removed the connecting line from the R to the K in the logo.
Pussy asses caved to literally less than a dozen people who just made something up. This will never end.

wouldn't be surprised if this type of shite was just some people attempting to troll on Twitter to see if they can get someone to take the bait for shits and giggles at this point. Looks like it worked on whoever wrote an article.

I knew there were a lot of whites in there.
