Change name of Cracker Barrel to Caucasian Barrel

Quote from the internet

"I say all of us European Americans start protesting C****er Barrel. It uses an offensive slur and it is deeply offensive and mocks our long and proud heritage.

The name is offensive, their logo stereotypes European Americans as people who sit on chairs and lean against what appears to be a bourbon barrel, claiming we are all a bunch of alcoholics. Sure, they'll SAY it's a "cracker" barrel but everyone knows crackers don't come in barrels, they come in bags and boxes!

Change the name C****er Barrel to Caucasian Barrel. After all, white people should have something to be offended by, too!"

    Truth be told here,Crackers didn't always come in a "saltine" box.Originally they came in barrels."Cracker Barrel" is not a racial slur on whites,in that context,it's an object from the past.

    It would seem that context nowadays is irrelevant.

    This is probably not the best time for me to put my "Little Black Sambo" children's book collection my folks bought me back in the 1940's on eBay. I'm not even going to bring up my "Uncle Remus" records of children stories.
    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    I'm a Cracker!
    I'm proud to be a Cracker![;)]

    What the ignorant don't realize when they call someone a cracker is that they are acknowledging that they are the boss.
    The term came from the one that cracked the whip!

    I found and bought a tee off the web that said:

    CRACKER (and don't you forget it!)

    Of course, it goes right over the heads of morons.[:D]

    Quite true.

    The word niggardly is now frowned upon because it sounds too much like something else.

    Next they'll be renaming the FireCracker 500 to some less racially derogatory name- maybe the FireExplosive 500 will do as an interim until a committee of racially balanced advisors can find a permanently suitable name.

    Ya'll know the original author of intended it as satire.

    After 16k people jumped on the band wagon, some of whom thought it was serious, he added to it, stating it is satire.

    That's how you know it's good satire.

    Does the term "tighty whities" refer to a band of drunken Caucasians?

    We can't say poop anymore. See!
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    So, they named Waffle House for typical(D) politicians?
    Could be that's why chicken'n'waffles sell so well there.

    FireExplosive sounds so very violent, don't you think? It could be perceived as scary by the pajamaboy metrosexuals our society seems to be raising.
