WASHINGTON (AP) -- Twenty-one people filed a $100 million federal lawsuit against Cracker Barrel restaurants Thursday, accusing the nationwide chain of widespread racism, from segregating black customers in the smoking section to denying them service.
It was the largest civil rights lawsuit against a restaurant chain since Denny's settled a $46 million discrimination lawsuit in 1994.

My God, you sure are quick to jump on the racial pretense thing too, huh? I have no discrimination in my blood. I'll copy in to you what I already responded to another on this thread:
Yup. Those morons who don't know how to feed their kids and who file frivolous law suits. Oh, they are black? I don't notice race, so don't even think about going in a direction where you are going to try to call me a racist. I defend AMERICA!
I meant black customers of course.
Fortunately, the white customers never found out about it, or some racist might have come back to the restaurant and shot every 'muther' in the place
Any customer that has discovers he has been served food from the garbage can of a restaraunt has my approval to torch the place with the owners in it.
your=you're or you are I assume. You must be pretty well stuffed on egalitarianism and they neverending thirst for self virtue that comes with it eh sport?
1) This is completely unprovable.
2) Something like this did happen once to me, back in 1987. I went to a Cracker Barrel right at closing time, and I was seated and had a light meal even as others were being turned away. You know why? Because I was dating one of the waitresses and was there to pick her up. I had to have my third choice of entree too, because they'd already ran out of my top two choices for the night.
Well gee whiz.. How would you know? Why do they watch them like hawks? Moreover, why would you care unless you planning to make racist remarks?
Nor do they routinely can duplicate threads.
B.S. They can duplicate threads all the time.
I've never FReepmailed a moderator to ask anything. How'd you know you could do that?
Well gee.. I've gotten FReepmail before, and I know how to navigae a website. Must be that PRIVATE school education.
I've been eating at Cracker Barrel back when I had to drive to GA or TN just for breakfast. I have never been seated promptly, because there is always a line. That is one reason for the gift shop inside, and the rockers outside -- to keep you busy while you wait.
Sounds like some law firms go through registers looking for restaurants with large insurance policies.
Sure glad that in your wee little race-baiting mind that you're not trying to inflame anyone on this thread.
Who me??????? Smogger the Racism Avenger...shucks it's all in the spirit of righting the wrongs of the nasty world and making myself feel damn good about it.
God bless you Smogger....little peeps outta folks like you on this forum help keep my fires burning.
Thanks really.
You failed to address the plausibility question: if it is established restaurant policy to feed blacks older food, why not just leave the food on the counter? That's a lot easier than having to stoop over the garbage can and scoop it out, and then place it back on the counter.
Do the whites whose food Andrew Young spat on have your approval to 'torch' Andrew Young? If so, you're scaring me.
No.. Your right.. People served garbage outta ask for seconds.
If the intention was to inflame folks I would have said:
Any black customer that has discovers he has been served food from the garbage can of a restaraunt has my approval to torch the place with the white owners in it
However, in my statement it doesn't matter what color the people serving and eating the garbage are. I'm sure with your use of big words like egalitarianism you can grasp the concept.
Hell! I dunno.. I first heard the comment on the radio this morning driving to work and it's not in the AP article. I'll look for another article where it mentions the garbage feeding. I think most sane people would agree that if it can be proved employees were feeding people garbage then 100 million is cheap.
Me too
Suing whitey is one of them.
I suggest you mention the problem with those who organize your dinner events.
The race card without cause should not be able to get a pay off!
Have a nice Christmas...see ya 'round!
