LEBANON, TN — Questions continue to swirl over whether perhaps Cracker Barrel went too far overcorrecting as it unveiled a logo featuring a Confederate flag and the new name "The South Will Rise Again".
While the public had roundly criticized the initial, modern logo update, many felt that displaying the battle flag of the Confederacy perhaps was a bit too much of a step backwards.
"We apologize for our overly hasty, modern remake and hope our new mascot, now named Robert E. Lee, will smooth things over," said the company in a statement. "We have listened to our customers and turned the clock back - way back, to the good ol' times of Dixie Land. Come on in and enjoy our all-new ‘Stonewall Jackson Platter' and ‘Confederate Combo'. You'll feel like you're right back on the plantation."
Customers have responded favorably to some new dishes like the "'Gettysburg Grits' but overall felt like the rebranding had gone overboard. "I'm just not sure about how they replaced all the decorations with statues of J.E.B. Stuart," said local man Roger Samuelson. "And employing actual slaves? I think they may have overdone it."
At publishing time, Cracker Barrel had reversed course again and changed their name to "Black Lives Matter Barrel".
Maybe a “blacks only” water fountain.
This Southern Boy approves! I’d eat there all the time. ;-)
Blacks have been practicing segregation against white people for decades.....naacp, black congressional caucus, black entertainment television, blackish TV show, black awards shows and the list goes on and on.
They demand to be part of white culture while denying whites into their’s at the very same time.....if your looking for the definition of abject hypocrisy.....this is it.
I guess you’re lecturing me because you didn’t understand that my comment was a joke.
Apologies for not making myself more clear.
I’m not in the habit of lecturing anyone my friend, especially on my own posts.
I was merely implying that your comment, while was a joke as you say, isn’t that far-fetched considering how blacks self segregate.
All good.
I still have a Confederate Airforce tee shirt I wear to the gym.
“it was an atmosphere of general optimism and trust that kids and adults lived in where seeing the world through negative eyes was rare and was seen as a weakness, and abnormal, anti-social.”
Exactly! Well stated.
Good one.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
That’s right. Make it a squirrel gun.
If you don’t have a gun they will loan you one while you eat.
Works for me!
Now they’re getting things right LOL
Btw, check the Electoral College. The South is rising just fine.
Stung by the Bee — again.
Don’t feel bad my friend....it happens to the best of us. 😏
Good one! 🤣
I’d go there!!!
