I mean does anyone else remember the story about Cracker Barrel refusing to seat black families, or is that just me?

I mean aside from it basically being in the name and having never seen a non pink person there... ever, there's these

But like I said it's in the name dude. If you don't look like a cracker they'll put you over a barrel.

in the 90s there was a Denny's near me. When you were just in the door, in front of the counter, if you looked up, there was a swastika drawn on one of the ceiling tiles. It was, reportedly, there for like 4 months. Thing is, you basically would have to work there, or do this in a way the employees would definitely see. So they were cool with it.
