Is Cracker Barrel racist?

Recommended Posts

Unfamiliar with the term house negro I guess.
Either way, that's what Aunt Jemima IS.
I'd think it would be easy to see why it's offensive.
I think Flip Wilson may be the only black person that found humor in that.



I'm familiar with the term. I had friends who had parents who hired black women as cleaning ladies who did house chores. They paid good, for the times and whenever I was around, I thought they were treated good and spoken highly of after they went home.
I've learned, over the years that people can twist and turn anything to suit their 'needs'.

We had an occasional part time house negro mammy when I was a kid.
Maybe I saw something from another perspective.
A drunk step dad calling my mom a nigger lover probably didn't help either.
;)
I saw the US Air Force attitude towards black people in the 60's-70's.
I saw the southern US attitude towards black people in the 60's-70's.
I saw plenty.

***PC has reduced people to considering how to treat other human beings with respect... Sad isn't it:S



Indeed, In such a society I would imagine that when kids lose, they get trophies...and when bankers fail, they get bonuses. Yay!

The 'PC' folks that I've seen, were arrogant, self-centered, verbal bullies. You'd better not be that way with them, though.

******this is like black people calling each other the n word.

if black folks owns this type of franchise they are welcome to call their restaurant ni**a barrel.

white ownership, therefore they can call each other whatever they want.



I don't know about that...white people calling each other crackers is like boasting about being a slave owner.


Counting down.....

Cracker is the term for the cattle driver. They used whips to herd the cattle, hence Florida Crackers.

When I was a kid in the 70's, we had a black lady from the country come in to clean our house weekly. Nice older lady. When a stray cat came up to our house one day and had a litter of kittens, we gave them to her to take back to her place.
There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"!

Giving that lady those kittens could be taken two ways, ya' know. :D:D:D;)

Whips are still used in parts of the country to move cattle. They are used for the sharp cracking sound rather than on the cattle. I wouldn't call those boys 'cracker', either! :D

Was it treating you poorly?
Was it anti redneck?
That was not a PC thing to do. Unless you were collecting stem cells.:)

You should have just urged the thing back, it was his land first anyway.

I ain't into that 'touchy-feely' stuff. You'll have to pry my gun from my cold, dead, hands!!
Seriously... I know folks out here who actually move rattle-bugs to some other part of the county. Kinda like the way folks take a dog they don't want 'for a ride'.
I don't like rattlesnakes one bit. Bull snakes, garden snakes... fine. Rattlesnakes... NO!

I've eaten rattlesnake and just don't care for it. My neighbor loves the stuff. He got the meat and I'm going to make a hat band. Not all four feet of it... just the best part with the rattler.

God blessed us with various food sources and they should be respected. That's how I was raised to believe.
