If you’re a white American, you probably already know that Obama and his race-baiters are trying to make you feel as guilty as possible. To Obama and his minions, anyone who is white is therefore racist, and they must be punished. [12] In an attempt to take a good laugh at this ridiculous political tactic, Ryan Koch, a bold white man from Des Moines, Iowa, launched a petition this week to change the name of the “Cracker Barrel” restaurant to “Caucasian Barrel,” because as Koch astutely wrote, “white people should have something to be offended by too!” “I say all of us European Americans start protesting Cracker Barrel,” the resolute champion for equality wrote on his Change.org petition. It’s got over 15,000 signatures and counting, so it’s significant enough to warrant mentioning. “It uses an offensive slur and it is deeply offensive and mocks our long and proud heritage.” Within his detailed explanation for the petition, Koch claims that Cracker Barrel has an offensive slur in its name.
“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.”
Ryan further explains that the name Cracker Barrel is not the only offensive part of the popular restaurant chain’s brand. The online satire claims that even the logo is offensive.
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!
Indeed, Mr. Koch. Indeed! Like Young Conservatives contributor Yehuda Remer wrote, this petition is “hilariously awesome” because it does a great job mocking the race baiters. Mr. Koch’s take on the absurdity of race in America is spot on. [2] And like The Political Insider pointed out, the petition fits in perfectly with the bullshit liberal rhetoric about how “we must stay away from racial stereotypes in names.” [3] Unlike liberals, conservatives have a sense of humor… That’s because we have a firm grip on reality and aren’t hyper-sensitive about the world around us. [3] “Just like the left is angry about the Washington ‘Redskins,’ Ryan is going to battle for Caucasians at this delicious family restaurant.” [1] Exactly. Fair is fair, and this petition is 100 percent fair — not to mention hilarious.
According to the official Cracker Barrel website, the 45-year-old restaurant chain is “known for providing a friendly home away from home atmosphere in our old country store and restaurant.” The first store was opened by Dan Evins in Lebanon, Tennessee, on September 19, 1969. [4]
