Is The Cracker Barrel racist?

If someone had the balls to name a business "The Ni@@er barrel"

I guess I would go....

Your friend is an ass.

People just use the "C" word way to easy.

Yes. All of us crackers meet there to plot against black folks and other minorities. That, and to have lunch. You doosh bag.

Most of the ones I have stopped at had decent food. As for would I eat at a place called NI&&er barrel, well, if the food was good, sure, why not.

yeah it's racist...keeping all us crackers in a barrel

What kind of food would "The Ni@@er Barrel" sell?

That tends to be how one feels there...like a cracker in a barrel of black people. How any server makes money there is beyond me.

I would guess soul food. Love me some mac and cheese.

fried chicken and watermelon

My Wife (Ishtar) is of Original Sumarian Race. We do not eat at Cracker Barrel. 3 Times we got crappy service and I suspected why.

Maybe you told the waitress your wife is of "the original sumerian race", and expected special treatment.

And they were having a good laugh in the kitchen about it.

LOL. You folks are obviously too young to understand what Cracker Barrel means. My dad, who was born in 1895, often told me that as a kid he loved to walk from their farm to town with his dad. One of the main reasons was that after their business was finished they would go to the general store and have a cracker barrel meal before the long walk home. That meal was a big slice of hoop cheese and saltine crackers which were packaged in and sold from a small wooden barrel. The more affluent (not dad) could go all out and eat a sawmill supper which added sardines to the cheese and crackers.

My ex reminded me of a cracker barrel after she
gained 87 pounds.

There was a controversy years ago of them being anti gay. Never racist.

Their food is great!

That's racist.

LOL

ahhh yes the black man's viagara! too bad the white man didnt discover the secrets that the black man knew until recently. keep popping those blue pills!

Jay-Z or some rich black guy should buy The Cracker Barrel and put all kinds of hip hop and black memorabilia all over like at Applebees.

suppose that Chillies caters to the Hispanic crowd???

Me and my peeps hang at the White Castle.

Who one starred me? How about a strip club called "The Black Bitch"? Just trying to come up with a catchy name.

Meh. I'd rather eat at the Creepy Azz Cracka Barrel.

BTW, sounds like your black friend is racist, find a new friend.
