Tuberville said on YellowHammer News’ “Longshore and McKnight” show Friday. “It just makes you sick to your stomach that people try to change history.”
Says the same racist that tries to whitewash slavery.
I genuinely cannot understand this “controversy” over the rebrand in any context other than manufactured outrage as a distraction from Epstein and Russia and occupying DC and every other horrible thing. Or manufactured outrage to bring attention to the brand, as I suspect the American Eagle Sydney Sweeney shit was.
DOPAMINE DOPAMINE DOPAMINE DOPAMINE
Understand?
Republicans just need to be outraged at all times, is in their snowflake value.
They are Dopamine addicts, and it is triggered by outrage, and the Conservative Propaganda Machine is happy to provide that outrage on a daily, even hourly, basis.
I don’t get the outrage, but Cracker Barrel is going to rollover and keep the old logo now.
Cracker barrel has a pretty long history of being a racist company and they know where their racist profits lie.
Care to elaborate a little on the racism angle a bit?
Not that I doubt it, but with the amount of research I’m willing to put into it (basically skimming the character barrel Wikipedia article, and a couple quick Google searches) I couldn’t turn up a whole lot of details.
I did find one class action lawsuit accusing them of racial discrimination, but without diving too deep into the court records, a lot of it kind of looked like more of a “some restaurants had shitty, racist managers” than a top-down “this whole company is racist” kind of thing. Not that it excuses the company for that, they’re responsible for hiring decent managers, but unless you’re going to have someone from corporate monitoring operations at every restaurant all day every day looking out for that, I could definitely see a lot of it flying under the radar.
If we want to talk LBGTQ discrimination though, yeah, there’s some outright shitty stuff at the corporate level in their past. Although (again, from just some very brief and not-at-all in-depth research) it does look like they’ve straightened that out pretty well over the last decade or two (and also, let’s not take for granted how fast a lot of people have come around on a lot of LGBTQ issues, at the time that stuff was happening, a lot of the country still hadn’t come around to the idea of accepting gay marriage, for example. It doesn’t make those policies right, but it was more in-line with the country as a whole at the time)
Dude, that one class action lawsuit didn’t just appear one day, that basically a whole bunch of individual lawsuits forming racist Voltron. Plus that lawsuit involved people across 16 states, you don’t get that type of crap unless you’ve got rot at the top.
Also all the other major litigations including the DOJ, pre-fascist days, https://allaboutlawyer.com/cracker-barrel-racism-lawsuit-settlement-federal-agencies-investigate-cracker-barrel-for-employment-discrimination/
Let’s not forget this little gem
And man, in minority circles I run with over the decades it’s pretty well known that Cracker Barrel is racist AF. Hell I’ve experienced first hand in two different states this racist behavior from this company and why I haven’t set foot in one for over two decades now.
I figured that conservatives only get this riled up over racist stuff. Just wasn’t familiar.
I hope the crackers all get their turn in the barrel.
