So you don't like the place because it's 'Social Responsibility' pamphlet has a picture of a little black boy on it? Sheesh! You're wound a little tight aren't you?
Just because the restaurant has the name 'Cracker' in it, doesn't mean only white people eat there, you know.
Actually by using the black boy as the sole image on that page, Cracker Barrel is merely pandering. It's tokenism on their part as if saying "see...we're not a bunch of Southern yahoos...we're so liberal we have a black face pictured!"
I hope that makes any possible misunderstandings we have clear. No, it wasn't the black boy at all. It was the company's use of the image as a means of covering their white guilt.
Anyway, I see that you're stuck up in Massachusetts (wrongly pronounced as Mass-a-TWO-shuts by obama). That reminds me of a visit to a restaurant up there a few year ago at a not-so-aptly named "Friendly's" restaurant near Watertown, MA, I committed the crime of driving while Texan. As I pulled into the parking lot with my Texas plates, a family of four (dad, mother and two kids) was coming out and saw my car. Without provocation, both the husband and wife confronted me about being from Texas. "So, you're from the Kennedy killing state!" and "I bet you cowboys down there had a party when Teddy died". I was told in a profanity-laced tirade that we "right-wing, redneck Texans" weren't welcome in their fine Commonwealth.
Sure, it was one isolated incident in this case. But there were numerous times I was greeted with a middle-finger salute by proud citizens on the traffic circles on Route 6, doubtlessly because of my Texas plates as well as my Sarah Palin and NOBAMA window stickers.
